What to do???
This has been our missionary conference week at church. Very encouraging and CHALLENGING to Mike and I. But let me start off by sharing a HUGE weight I am feeling on my heart right now. It is also an AWESOME thing but I am sure you will be able to understand my heartache. Abigail said she might want to be a missionary. While I am thankful that she is sensitive to the Lord I also ache at the thought that one day she might be far, far away. Of course I want her to follow wherever the Lord leads but still my heart feels great sadness thinking about it. I will NEVER say out loud that I don't want her to be a missionary. I will stand behind her no matter what. Even if secretly I would hope that the Lord would keep us all near each other. Okay... moving on before I can't see to type....
Mike and I have been feeling the past few years and REALLY the past few months that we are doing NOTHING for the Lord. We feel like we should be doing something to help share the Lord with the unsaved right here in Columbus, OH. Neither of us have felt any particular direction from the Lord (and our house isn't going to sell... will be off the market by Nov.) so we continue to go on as we have been. But still we know there is something waiting for us and so our eyes/ears/hearts are open. We want to give.
I really should be going to sleep. I am rather tired tonight but I do cherish these quiet moments when the kids are all asleep. I will have a hard time waking up tomorrow for church though so I better sign off and lay down. Night, friends. :(
Tonight I am thankful for a simple life, my 5 beautiful children, and cranberry juice. :)

I was just thinking about similar things while I was traveling this weekend (lots of time alone to think about all sorts of things). Some day, my kids might move far away. I can't stand that thought!
You asked about Simple Woman's Daybook...I follow another blog who does this, so I followed her link to the original and read about it. Anyone can do it. It's a homeschooling mom who started it, and I think her initial focus was to remind herself to think on the simple things in life and keep things simple, which is so important. I love the idea. The small things mean a lot to me. We often get too bogged down with busy-ness, and it helps to remind me of what's important. You can read more about it at http://thesimplewomansdaybook.blogspot.com/ and decide if you want to do it. I'm sure it wouldn't matter if you did it every week. I just like to do it each week. :)
