FOR TODAY

August 23, 2011

Outside my window...dark, humid, and 82 degrees. 

I am thinking...about a friend who recently lost her husband and a song by Third Day...Cry Out to Jesus.  I don't know that she's ever heard it and so I think I'll send it to her, hoping she does just that...Cry Out to Jesus!!!

I am thankful...for the healthy baby boy growing inside of me.  He was not in my plans, but I serve a God whose plans are greater than mine.  And for that I am eternally grateful.

From the learning rooms...is an incomplete Rainbow Resource order.  Hopefully curriculum will be ordered this week and school will begin in early September.  I think we're all getting ready.

In the kitchen...Knowing I was going to be gone all day I prepared a chicken potpie early this morning.  I came home to a clean kitchen and no leftovers.  I'm glad it was a hit. 

I am wearing...maternity clothes.  YAYNESS!!! 

I am creating...a menu and grocery list for the month of September.

I am going...to spend the day with my hubby tomorrow.  We're driving down to George Fox University in Newberg, OR.  It will be a good day.

I am wondering...if I can actually keep up with my blog.  I have the desire and time, but do I have the creativity?  I have so much I want to do with it.  Going to give it a good shot.

I am reading...Sisterchics in Wooden Shoes.  One more easy, pleasure read before school starts.

I am hoping...and praying the next two weeks pass by with little stress and worry.  God is in control...this I know!

I am looking forward to...a new school year. 

I am hearing...the clicking of my keyboard and a movie playing in the background. 

Around the house...the four youngest kids are sleeping and the rest of the gang are watching a movie.  I'm sitting here in the living room typing away on my laptop.  It's a cozy night in the Walker home.

I am pondering...the new series Tim is preaching on Sundays.  Reconciliation.  I'm excited, yet nervous, to see what God had in store for me over these next few weeks. 

One of my favorite things...the gift of friendship.  Nothing compares!

A few plans for the rest of the week...Newberg, OR tomorrow with my man, dentist appointment on Thursday morning (yuck), pool party Thursday afternoon, and a possible haircut on Friday.

Here is picture for thought I am sharing...

My beautiful and crazy daughter, Cayla Nicole Walker.

She's awesome.
