For Today:  Wednesday, January 8, 2014

 

Outside my window … After several days of below freezing temperatures we had a "balmy" 45 degree day.

Praising God for…  Provision.

In prayer for... the upcoming year.  I want it to be a zillion times better than 2013.

I am thinking... about where do I go from here and how do I get there?

I am thankful... that I have a warm place to live

In the kitchen...  Nothing, it's late.  I have no idea about tomorrow.  I'm so bored with my own cooking, but I've got to keep it healthy. 

I am wearing... Green sweater and black pants.

I am creating... I've been trying new crochet patterns...

Braided Scarf

Vintage Lace Afghan

I'll be painting tomorrow. 

I am going...  to bed in a few minutes.  Tomorrow, I plan to go to the store and to walk at the track with a friend.

I am wondering... With what’s going on with me.  I drove to Anniston today to run some errands and I was absolutely out of my tree!  I've never been this nervous, unfocused, and panicky while driving to familiar places.  No one else on the road was driving crazily; it was all quite calm and normal around me.  I hope this isn't the start of a trend or an illness.  I'm not in the mood!

I am reading... Read a great blog post from Jon Acuff.  I'm pondering what it means to my life.  This quote cuts right to the heart of the matter:

 

But here’s something I feel like God asked me once when it comes to regret:"

Am I not more powerful than regret?”

That’s a simple question, but at the heart of it is a problem. When you are afraid you might make a mistake you act as if God is not in the business of redeeming mistakes. You act as if you could make a mistake he could not handle. You act as if God is smaller than your mistakes.

I am hoping...that the answer finally comes.

I am looking forward to... SPRING!  and, no, I don't CARE if it's January!
 
I am learning… that time is short and my list is very long.

Around the house...  Staying warm.

I am pondering...  is it too late for me?

A favorite quote for today...  "Vegans complaining about hot dogs is like the Amish being mad about gas prices." - Bill "Bubba" Bussey from the Rick and Bubba Show.

One of my favorite things... Ernie Ball Power Slinky bass guitar strings.

A few plans for the rest of the week:  Not sure.  I know what I want to do, but not sure if I can do it.

A peek into my day...
