Today: I've inserted some fun in between work. Emma has a four-hour meeting with her mother, so I'm going to hang with Emily in Anderson. I got the idea to have Emma stay with me this evening so Jonathon and Emily can have a date.
At my writing desk: Two hours of curriculum before I leave, one when I get back. I'm gaining a new appreciation for Abraham. No wonder he was called a friend of God.
Praying for: The family of Steve and Christine Miller. The couple with their four daughters were on their way to church when they were in an accident involving a train. Steve and Christine, along with three of their four children were killed. Four-year-old Heidi was air-lifted to a hospital and is in stable condition. A daughter-in-law of one of my team members works at the hospital where they took Heidi.
Thankful for: Sunshine today after our torrential rainstorm last evening.
I'm reading: 60% into my book club book. Downloaded the rest of "Broken Hallelujahs." I'm only on chapter three, but already am ready to recommend it. There are questions and guidance thoughts at the end of each chapter to take the message from the page to your heart.
Postmarking: The lists were sent last evening. So many heartaches. It's an honor to encourage those who are hurting. I found the new Indiana stamp -- finally. It was created by a graduate of IWU and celebrates 200 years of Indiana's statehood.
Favorite quote: If God closes a door, quit banging on it! Trust whatever is behind that door is not for you.
That's an awesome point: The bible is meant to be daily bread and not occasional cake.. This is a great reminder to make sure to get into the word daily. -Mary (The Square Owl)
ReplyDeleteI love this! The gentle, humble way you acknowledge the Lord in even the most mundane moments of your life is such a wonderful reminder of how good He is! - Sarah, So Um Yeah

I love the quote about the Bible, I need to discipline myself to read it more and more!
ReplyDeleteI love that quote. So many times I have found myself pounding on a door that God shut and locked. I have to trust that He closed it for a reason!
ReplyDeleteI love your quote about the Bible! It's so easy to use the Bible only for special occasions. In reality, however, it should be our everyday bread!
ReplyDeleteSending my thoughts and prayers to the family and friends of the family you are praying for.
ReplyDeleteOh man I love that first quote!!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat quote! And this sounds like you've had such a wholesome and productive day =)
ReplyDeleteI love that quote too, when God closes a door He opens another one. The broken Hallelujah book sounds interesting.
