FOR TODAY : DECEMBER 16

Outside my window... it is lovely and cool outside.
I am thinking... that I'm quite ready for Twenty Ten!
I am thankful for... everything.
From the kitchen... Pasta with Butternut Parmesan Sauce. Dangerous!
I am wearing... my workout clothes, for motivation.
I am going... to see my friends tonight. I love Wednesday nights.
I am reading... reader-contributed "survival strategies", part of the NYTimes "Living With Less" feature.
I am hoping... the pasta turns out delicious. It had better be worth all the calories!
I am listening to... The London Symphony Orchestra's full recording of the Nutcracker Ballet. LOVE.
Around the house... stillness.
One of my favorite things... holidays with family. Especially with family I haven't seen in a year!
A few plans for the rest of the week: Travel preparations, exciting!
Here is picture thought I am sharing...

walking in newness of life

 

Today I was baptized.

. . .

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.

The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.

2 Cor 5:17

FOR TODAY
JULY 6, 2009

Outside my window... a thunderstorm is brewing.

I am thinking... about running. Or walking, which will lead to running.

I am thankful for... finding an old journal of my husband's from when he was 10. What an awesome boy he was! I thank God that the single-mindedness and sense of adventure he had as a child are traits he still possesses today.

From the kitchen... leftover grilled Italian sausage and cheese grits for breakfast.

I am wearing... the usual. Pajamas all day!

I am creating... a database of personal recipes with SousChef.

I am going... to the produce market for some dill later. I might even walk, if weather permits.

I am reading... This Momentary Marriage (free download!), by John Piper, and this series of posts on "Journaling as a Spiritual Discipline" at Holy Experience.

I am hoping... that this feeling of "homesickness" for a place of my own will pass soon.

I am hearing... the Tour de France as husband watches it on tv.

Around the house... things are a bit untidy. But it can wait.

One of my favorite things... the Lord has been teaching me about the importance of fellowship lately. This makes my friends seem more precious to me.

A few plans for the rest of the week: Work and pray, the usual.

A picture thought...

thankful for freedom

"Christ has set us free to live a free life. So take your stand! Never again let anyone put a harness of slavery on you." Galatians 5:1
