My life is open to being truly grateful for things I've taken for granted, but also, learning to say "Thank You" and mean it, instead of just saying it. The most difficult chapter was learning to be thankful even at the worst of time (like when her son died from a car accident caused by someone else). UGH... makes me thankful for all my BLESSINGS!!!
I started reading Beth Moore's Praying God's Word. I LOVE IT!!! Lots of great chapters that have already taught me so much about Guilt and unforgiveness, and more chapters I'm looking forward to reading.
Next I have Beth Moore's Get Out of the Pit book. (THANKFUL for the Library and free books to try out!) :)
In January our ladies Bible study will start "listening" to "SO LONG INSECURITY" by Beth Moore on Audio. I've already gone though it, but it's AWESOME and I want the ladies to also!
October and November were crazy busy months with TONS of crafting, getting ready for Halloween (which turned out to be a SURPRISE Vow Renewal :) and the huge T-shirt Quilt I made for a lady off craigslist... I'm making some big bucks doing something I LOVE :) And Joel's 5th Angry Birds Birthday Party... which I did a lot of crafting for. CHEAP party, love it!
November is almost over, the Christmas tree is up, but the house is still not completely decorated :( I bought the material to start another quilt for the ladies other child, and have made $50.00 this week selling toys on Craigslist. Trying to make money to make up for the loss in Child Support that my kids dad hasn't been sending :( Sad, hate having to sell their toys, but they are things they have outgrown, or NEVER play with. Good timing too since Christmas is coming and they will get more toys.
For Christmas I want to make the kids Hooded Towels. Working on which theme for each child, SOOOO excited to make these and show them how much I love them. They love it when I make them something special and unique for each of them :)
December doesn't look too busy yet. I hope it will be a sweet, calm, relaxing month!!! Mostly doing crafts and spending time inside with the kids!
Oh, Joel started doing "school" work during nap time yesterday (and he did it again today). So far, in two days, he has learnt how to spell RED and read RED and he's doing tracing patterns and doing connect the dots :) He loves it, and I love watching him learn :)
OH I AM SOOOO BLESSED!!! I am so thankful that today I was able to sleep in until 8:30am (while JK was up taking care of the kids from the moment they woke up; feeding them breakfast, getting Brooke ready for school and sending her off, and then make sure the kids didn't bother me until I had to wake up...
to go to Brooke's school to Volunteer with the Take Home Reading program,
then I was able to take Joel and Kamy to day care, and have "alone" time
while I drove to JoAnn's to buy Kelly Green material for the quilt,
and then spent time with Joel and Kamy for lunch,
Kamy took a nap while Joel did some of his school work :)
And since about 1:30 I have been sitting in the big chair working on computer "stuff"... which mostly consists of fun and pictures (tons of them :)
Now it's time to start the potatoes for "Crock Pot Roast Beef, Mashed Potatoes and Broccoli" that we'll be eating for dinner and then the evening with my kids and husband!!!
Oh I am SOOOO BLESSED!!!
Now potatoes and kiddos :)
