January 2015

Wow! It has been many moons since I have posted on my blog. A sweet dear friend reminded me of this just this past Sunday! I am a devoted 'journal' lover! I journal 3 or 4 days a week most weeks, in my private journal book. I forget that 'blogging' is a "type" of journal!

Today is a new beginning! I like new beginnings.
~ A new journal book.
~New Year
~New mornings.
~Starting a new book.
~A new baby.
~A new year.
~A new recipe.
~A new friend.
~ New job.
~New lifestyle.
~New adventure.
~New home.
~New ideas

They are 'fresh' and unwritten upon. Opening a brand new book smells so new. A new adventure holds unexpected surprises! We like that! God tells us that HE gives us new mercies every day! Think about it! Thousands of new mercies EVERY DAY! His loving kindness is new everyday too. How wonderful that is. I often ask the Lord to give me eyes that see. Not dull unseeing eyes, but eyes that quickly 'see' Him and His providential care. Ways in which I miss if I am not looking with the eyes of faith. If God notices the sparrow and takes care of the those tiny birds, how can I not know His care for me? When we ask him to open our eyes, HE does! Commit to asking him to open your eyes to His providential care for you this year! I did and I hope you will too!

DayBook~

Outside my window~ rain, rain, rain. Very green grass, wet deck and deck chairs and 2 tables that very much need washing down. That is one job I hate.

I am thinking ~ today I am off and so wanted to get outside and weed and trim my flower beds. I go around the beds with a shovel type tool that is straight and cut in every spring to keep the bed lines sharp and grass free. Not today. Flex. I have 2 closets left in my de-clutter goal. After today I will have one left, Lord willing.

I am wearing~ jean capris, I am barefoot. Wearing my green "Cape May Lima Bean" shirt my hubby bought me from the Lima Bean Festival last year during our Cape May Adventure with Chip and Kim and Doug! I think it's cute!

I am thankful for~ rain God sends because it means May flowers.

From the learning rooms ~ Books, books and more books!

From the kitchen ~ Coffee made by my honey. He does make the best coffee ~ even better than Starbucks. That is a fact.

I am creating ~ margin in my house. De-clutter continues. I want to be able to open a closet and find room. So far the closets I've done are efficient and have room! I have decided I only keep what I really like. I'm not a knick knack type girl. But I do like dishes....ha.

I am going ~ nowhere in the van today. Bible Study tonight! I like Bible Study!

I am reading ~ a new book. I did something unusual for me this week. I picked up a book, read 2 chapters which were not very good. I actually closed the book and returned it to the Library. I have always finished books I start. Not anymore. There are way too many good books to waste time on the not so good ones!

I am hoping ~ the Lord uses me today for his glory!

I am hearing ~ the pitter patter of rain against the wood deck just outside the sliding door. There are 3 birds chirping also...so wonderful to hear.

Around our home ~ we are all moving slow. Me included. I should not have stayed up into the wee hours reading last night. Not good.

A few of my favorite things ~

Spring
Root Beer Floats
Flowers....all kinds
Digging in the dirt.
Holding babies
Grass between my toes.

Thanking God for this time of year,

Lynette

Woody Woodpecker

Woody Woodpecker lives in our back yard! He is frequently seen flying from tree to tree looking for yummy specimens for a tasty treat. My hubby was able to get a pretty clear picture of him this last week! Enjoy! I love to hear him peck away......

DayBook~

Outside my window~ rain, rain, rain. It rained all night ~ it is a pretty sound with a slight breeze, very warm, seventy degrees outside. I have every window in the house open this morning!

I am thinking ~ How blessed I am. I am a daughter of the KING. I am His and He is mine. I have a godly adorable husband. I have been given six children who I love. I have 8 grandchildren (one soon to be born!) who make me smile. I have loving family on both sides! I have a wonderful church family. I have everything I need and way beyond! God has provided a warm and cozy home. I am blessed beyond measure!

I am wearing~ bluejeans, black short sleeved tee, and bare feet ~ I might be changing into shorts shortly!

I am thankful for~ LIFE! All the good, bad and ugly of it. He has a plan and purpose for all of it. I trust HIM!

From the learning rooms ~ we will continue to work on Hannah's sewing project this afternoon. Her skirt is done. She is working on Rebekah's now. We hope to wear them for the Thanksgiving season!!!

From the kitchen ~ Gourmet Chicken and baked potatoes, glazed carrots and a green salad. No dessert...cutting sugar!

I am creating ~ a surprise gift for a young friends Birthday!

I am going ~ to make applesauce and apple pies (for the freezer for winter) this morning as Hannah works on school work near me.

I am reading ~ has slowed down big time. School is in progress, so my extra reading time is minimal. I still read at least 20 minutes every night before I go to bed though. I am #3 on the waiting list for Francine Rivers New Book at our local Library also. She is my favorite author~

I am hoping ~ the LORD saves those I am praying for!

I am hearing ~ ducks quacking as they fly over head. They are headed south. I love watching them in formation!

Around our home ~ I am going to clean out the frig and wash it down this morning, pulling from the wall and doing under it too. Also need to get the rest of my winter things out of storage and put rest of my summer things in a tub for the attic. (I hate this job)

One of my favorite things ~ a good cup of coffee with my Bible and journal early in the morning.
