For Today, 2 November 2009 Outside my window...the smell of burning leaves floats in the air. I am thinking... that things shouldn't be this way at this point in my life, but what do I know? I am thankful for... the knowledge that we can make it through our current situation because God is always there to provide for our needs. I am wearing... old blue jeans and an aqua top. I am remembering... how difficult this was the last time, and I'm not remembering it fondly. I am creating... fun, free, family fun nights. Tonight? An art project. I am going... to thrive in all circumstances if I keep my focus on the Lord. I am reading... Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel as well as a new read-aloud that I haven't chosen yet but will begin reading on Wednesday. I'll tell you next week. ;) I am hoping... that God will show-up in a mighty way in our lives. On my mind... are many ways in which I can bring extra income into our budget while still staying home with my children. From the learning rooms... A study of South America begins with the geography of Brazil and a scientific study of the rain forest. We're making a traditional Canadian meal tomorrow to conclude our North American studies. Noticing that... the stages of mourning apply in many situations, not just the loss of a loved one or a major tragedy. Pondering these words... "Giants! You die! The bigger they are, the harder they fall. Giants! They die. Just walk around your Jericho wall. Now we come in your name, and we stand on your word. What is loosed in the heavens will be loosed on earth! Let God arise! Giants, DIE!" From the kitchen... pate chinois (a French Canadian casserole similar to Shepherd's Pie that is super easy and super economical) and butter tarts, which appeared on every single page I explored when googling "Canadian recipes." Around the house... there is still a leak in the closet, but my shower handle has been repaired. I'm sorting clothes in the kids closets this week and stowing some of them in the garage to pass onto my sister and selling a few things on ebay that I don't think she'll use. One of my favorite things... boxed macaroni and cheese and hot dogs. How awful is that meal? We rarely eat like this, but it is one of my favorites from childhood. A few plans for the rest of the week... other than our normal schedule, we'll be voting NO ON ISSUE 3 tomorrow at the voting booths, and I hope that the majority of my fellow Buckeyes will do the same to protect our state(we'll be casting other votes as well, but that is the most important to me in this particular election), and Lukas' first district Bible Quiz is on Saturday morning.
