I am a blessed Mother of two very sweet, thoughtful and industrious daughters ~ Hannah Joy and Rebekah Lynette ~ pure and precious loveys! They made my favorite ~ Chocolate Cake with White icing---all the sweeter for their making of it!
FOR TODAY
Outside my window...sunny breezy day, chipmunk playing on rail, squirrels (3) jumping and chasing each other in my flower bed. Birds pecking in the field where the farmer just cut the tall grass.
I am thinking...am I remembering everything for Mexico?
I am thankful for...the opportunity the Lord has given us to take this missions trip. Dave, Caleb, Rebekah, Hannah and I all get to go together.....very rare for us to all get to go together!
From the learning rooms...school is done for the year! Hannah is graduated to 11th grade in September....woo hoo! She is an excellent student and very diligent ~ a blessing!
From the kitchen...want to eat up all the food in the refrigerator and live off what we have til next Tuesday. No grocery shopping til we return. We will just make do with what we already have. Easy peasy!
I am wearing...white shorts, blue Ocean City 2007 t-shirt, barefoot and happy!
I am creating...cards to take to our missionaries in Mexico...encouragements and helps!
I am going...to be busy the next days. Shopping today. Planning today. Packing today. Errands today.
I am reading..."Seeing with New Eyes" by David Powlison. Also a spy novel by David Baldacci ~ I read instead of watching TV and movies. There is nothing like climbing into a really good book.
I am hoping...this will be a very purpose filled summer. Getting "Seeds Family Worship" CDs to help me memorize scriptures in song! (They are for kids but great for Moms too--smile) See Amazon.com for more info!
I am hearing...the air conditioner 'hum' in the background of my humming the new scripture song I am learning!
Around the house...we are packing, packing and more packing! Working on cards too and sewing up some special pillow cases too.
One of my favorite things...my coffee in the morning as I read my Bible!
A few plans for the rest of the week: finish up plans for our trip and packing continues. We have a wedding rehearsal and dinner tonight. Date night for Dave and I tomorrow night. Saturday we have graduation parties and then 6pm wedding. Sunday is sabbath day. Monday we travel to Frederick to give Emma and Taffy to Matthew Scott to keep while we are away. We leave for our Mexico Missions 10 day trip on Tues. at 4am.
Please pray for us as we travel to Mexico next week. Please pray we will have servants hearts, be flexible, helpful, share the Good News and for safety also. Pray for our team of 18, unity and love to each other, and that things will be glorifying to Christ. Thank you for praying!
How do you like those Seeds Family Worship CDs? I heard about them a few months ago and put them on my wish list.
ReplyDeleteI listened to them on the internet and I put them on my wish list too. They come with 2...one to keep and one to give away! I like that. I wanted to get them all and take to the missionaries kids in Mexico, but didn't do it in time (free shipping with Amazon takes longer). I think we will mail them to Mexico around Christmas time~ great stuff! I like that you can download the verses too!
