Dec. 21, 2007 - quiet time...
Today I finished the book "Homeschooling with a Meek and Quiet Spirit". The chapters today were on how to preserve the meek and quiet spirit, beginning with being greatful and content for the things that we do have. It is a great perspective during this time of year which tends to be challenging with all the business and chaos. I know my children have been exhibiting signs of the craziness of these times, my sweet dd-3 seems to have forgotten how to use the potty and has been having all kinds of accidents!! That is a great tester of my newly found meek and quiet spirit.
I am excited to be beginning a study by Elisabeth Elliot, "Keep a Quiet Heart" tomorrow. I know this book will allow me an even deeper understanding of a meek and quiet spirit and help me to apply these things I have learned to my everyday life. I have also started reading Elisabeth Elliot's book, "The Shaping of a Christian Family", this one is just for fun!! 
Today I read both Proverbs 4 and 5 and really enjoyed the challenging words of wisdom that reminds me to daily, hourly keep His commands in my heart and mind lest I should fall. I do think that Proverbs is my favorite book of the Bible- at least for now.
