The Simple Womens Daybook October 17th

For today..October 17th

Outside my window..

59 degree, cloudy day.

I am thinking..

Its amazing my 5 year old daughter is napping ;0

I am thankful..

For my children..their amazing! for my husband who never fails to show his love for me..for the Bible, page after page God speaks to me.

I am wearing..
Comfy black pants and shirt

I am remembering..

How much I laughed last night with my friend..

In the learning room..
We have a new, bigger dry erase board, yay! We love our board..We write our weekly scripture that we are memorizing on top, the date, spelling words, everyones chores and lesson plan for the day~it keeps me on task! ;-) Now with a bigger board I can draw and teach at a bigger scale.. i love tweaking our learning room!
I am going..
To the park this afternoon, weather is perfect, not too hot or cold..a hoodie will do, bring a stack of books for me to read. <3

I am currently reading..
JOB in the living Bible..really speaks to me
"Lessons at blackberry inn"..such a sweet read and so different, makes me crave my old country life, want to can and bake all day! ;-)
& "the lies women believe and the truth that sets them free" an amazing eye opening book that every women needs to read..just finished the lies about marriage and now onto children...an intresting lie I peaked at was how it is not up to us on how big or small our family is!

I am hoping..
To book a pedi with my girlfriend..never had one!

On my mind..
my hubby, and how much I want to apply all that I have learned about being the wife God wants me to be! ..less complaining, more praying for him..trusting God all the way, submitting..

Noticing that..
I need to vacumn..I seriously vacumn every day! doesnt seem normal lol

Pondering these words..
Romans 14:22 says "So whatever you believe about these things keep between yourself and God." your convictions may and most of the time are not someone elses, so do not perscute someone for their choices weather it be halloween, vaccines, public or homeschooling, the list goes on!!



From the Kitchen...
We will be baking an oreo cheese cake later! mmm

Around the house..
I was sick, not really sick but fighting something hard and was very sleepy all week. So we had a very laid back week.. it was pretty cozy! lessons on the couch and alot of reading..sipping warm echinacea tea. At the end of the week, my 3 children recieved a frostie as an award for chores and being good to their momma!



mmmm! love my heart? it was gift from my dear cousin and friend!



Reading <3



Vanilla frosting oh my!

One of my favorite things..
Watching my youngest put together a puzzle...its so sweet! And the highlight of each week has been sports club on mondays.  It is too funny, especially the younger group!

3-5 year olds, tball..super cute!

A page from "Lies Women Believe"

Reading a great book, "Lies women believe and the truth that sets them free"

by Nancy Leigh DeMoss

Recommend this book highly!

Its about lies we believe from Satan, the father of lies..eye opening!

I thought I would share page 107

The Spirit says: Forgive

The flesh says: Hold a grudge

The Spirit says: be temperate

the flesh says: eat whatever you want, whenever you want.

The Spirit says: Give that money to someone in need

The flesh says: spend that money on yourself

The Spirit says: Spend some time in the Word and prayer.

the flesh says: You've had a long day; chill out in front of the tv for the evening

The Spirit says: Hold your tongue. What you are about to say is not kind or necessary.

The flesh says: Tell it like it is!

Do not listen to these lies.. when we do we allow sin to gain master over us. Yeild to the Spirit of God!!

The Simple Woman's Daybook Oct, 3

Outside my window... a dark evening that still smells like rain! Our daylight is getting shorter and shorter..love this time of year!






I am thinking... My eyes have really been opened to alot this past week, I am still pondering it all..but thanking Jesus for being such a loving and patient teacher. If only I could parent and teach that way!!





I am thankful for... new christian, homeschooling parents and organization





I am wearing... my hair straight, purple top and black pj capri's with white dots, very comfy!





In the learning room... we added folders for math, art and handwritting to be kept in. and new puzzles that were given to us from a friend!





I am remembering... my childhood! My mom sent me a bundle of pictures of me with my mom and dad..it was funny to look thru and to show my kids. I was so young but I remember when most of them were taken.





I am going... on vacation next week with my family..so we can kick back and relax since my hubby has been gone for 3 weeks. I cannot wait to discover a new town and the road trip along the way. We will also be taking lessons with us!





I am currently reading... I have alot of books that I have been reading on and off. I like to read more then one book at once because I can fly thru them too quickly! I added 2 more books to my reading list, "Lies Women Believe and the Truth that Sets them Free" by Nancy Leigh DeMoss. The 2nd book was a suprise treat, "Lessons at Blackberry Inn" by Karen Andreola.

Cant wait to begin reading!

I am hoping... and praying my husband arrives safely and on time! ;-)





On my mind...Christians and halloween..





Noticing that... my house needs a good scrubbing, i have a couple loads of laundry to do and I would like to bake something sweet for my husbands arrival!





Pondering these words... Matthew 7:21-23 Jesus said "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?' And then I will... declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice iniquity!'"





From the kitchen... if my kitchen could speak, it would say clean me! haha





Around the house...pumpkin and apple cider candles..mmm! Also brought home a bundle of gourds, i think they are the coolest!

One of my favorite things...rain!
