A Simple Woman's Daybook ~ Nov. 16



Outside My Window...a tree lined canyon that allows a wonderful cross breeze in the home.

I Am Thinking...about Pastor Miles McPherson's sermon at the Rock Church yesterday and how he described Jesus as the living logos, the living word and how every need, every answer to any situation or relationship is found in the Bible.

I Am Thankful For...my daughter's neighbors on this street and how they all help one another like one big caring family!

I Am Wearing...my grey sweatpants and a coral tee shirt. No shoes!

I Am Remembering...the conversation I had with my DH yesterday afternoon on the phone. He found a seller of a used crib at church and purchased it. However, it needs assembling and he wasn't too thrilled about all the pieces layed out on the back deck while we were on the phone.

I Am Going...to a puppet show at the San Diego library for toddlers tomorrow.

I Am Reading...The Overcomer's Anointing by Barbara J. Yoder.

I Am Hoping...that my daughter, my friends and my blogger sisters who are in pain will get well quickly. I continue to pray for each one of them.

On My Mind...thinking how nice it will be to get out in the sun at Mission Beach with the baby this afternoon!

I Am Learning...that God's timing is not my timing and His ways are not my ways.

Noticing That...many Americans are getting involved politically to keep our consititution and freedoms intact.

Pondering These Words..."Therefore, when darkness comes over you, you can be sure that God is making something new because His new things are always conceived and developed in darkness." Barbara Yoder

From The Kitchen...a turkey-mushroom casserole and a plan to make homemade Challah bread tonight.

Around the House...toys and children's books...makes me feel young again.

One of My Favorite Things...the high speed of take off in the plane at the airport. It was fun landing, too, this time with a window seat and seeing Balboa Park and the Zoo in practically arm's reach!

From My Picture Journal...

A Memorial Day Reflection

  Memorial Day is always noteworthy for me and my girls.  Next Thursday marks the third year of missing their father, my husband. So many thoughts  run through my mind.  The journey of loss takes on various emotions.  The strongest feeling, at first, was emptiness.  In a split second, I would forget he departed forever.  I imagined things I needed to talk to him about when he got back home.  My mind is realistic now.  He's not coming back.  There will be no more times of sitting on the porch swing together on the front deck staring at the moon and the stars.  He would tell me all he knew about the majestic night sky. I have so much I wish I could tell him, like the excitement of seeing our oldest grandchild make a decision to follow Jesus and get baptized on Mother's Day!  And our little Amy, 11 years old, I wish he could have seen her on stage receiving her induction to the National Honor Society. Our daughters have their own ...

It's Not Always About the Tomatoes

I like to travel with buddies and rename them.  I vacationed in Costa Rica with Lupe who loves margaritas   and gets a little loopy.   I don’t drink but I’m a fun gal.  Just ask my co-worker, Frank.  I nicknamed him Jellyfish.  I packed my underwater camera.  Jellyfish can hold his breath really long.  He modeled for my underwater photo shoot in the colossal pool at the resort our company chose for us. I am fascinated with rain forests so my favorite thing to do in Costa Rica is to take walks in them.  I signed up for the tour of an organic cacao working farm.  Lupe chose it too.  A group of us piled into tractors to view crops of watermelon, mango, rice and cattle while we chewed on natural sugar cane, their largest product.  We observed monkeys, Toucans, and sloths. The best part of the tour for me taught about climate change and harvest time as we walked single file among papaya trees, cacao trees, as we...

A Christmas Card for You

Merry Christmas, friends!  I cherish every one of you.  Your friendship means so much to me and I know I am a blessed woman to be connected with so many wonderful men and women who inspire me throughout the year.  I look forward to the coming year with you   I wish for you that God will bless you, your family, your relationships, your work, and your gift of writing and lead you powerfully in the New Year.   This Scripture turned up in my reading this morning and I claim it for us in 2017.  As we draw close to Jesus today and in the coming year, may we see Him in one another! He who believes in me, as the scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart shall flow rivers of living water.’  John 7:38
