Merry Christmas! \u00a0This Daybook Online Journal<\/a> may be a bit longer than normal…As I’m still relishing in this Christmas season, I’m looking ahead to the new year; of course I will continue to write about Daily Affirmations<\/a>, Bible Quotes<\/a> and Book Club Time<\/a>, but there are a couple of other things God has placed on my heart to share.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

First, I am going to be encouraging you–and myself–to spend more time in the Word of God. \u00a0We are going to start working on lectio divina and Bible journaling. \u00a0There was an interesting comment left on a post here recently that made me realize, yet again, we are afraid of our Bibles. \u00a0Some of us may be afraid of color coding verses using the “wrong” colors. \u00a0Others may be scared of taking notes or color coding certain topics because they have never seen another Catholic use their Bible that way. \u00a0And others may be afraid of committing some form of sacrilege. \u00a0Well, I am here to encourage you to make your Bible your own in 2015!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you want to have your materials ready for that post and the ones that will follow throughout the year, you will need:
\n–A Bible<\/a>\"\"…make sure to choose a translation that includes all the books of the Bible. Some will say “Catholic Bible” or “Books of the Apocrypha included.” I just purchased the NRSV Notetaker’s Bible<\/a>\"\" because the margins are big enough to take notes.
\n–A Bible Marking Kit<\/a>\"\" that will not bleed through the pages of your Bible. (Those are my favorite.) But, I just ordered these, Bible-Hi-Glider Study Kit<\/a>\"\" and like them too.
\n–You can also purchase some Bible Tabs<\/a>\"\" if you would like. They get in my way, but other’s love them.
\n–A journal.<\/p>\n

More to come on this subject…<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Next, I’ve been in the practice of choosing a “Word for the Year”<\/strong> since 2010 when I chose “JOY.” \u00a0I’ve been praying about and keeping my heart and mind open for my word for this year. \u00a0I decided on my word for 2015 the other day. \u00a0I’ll share more about that too in an upcoming post…so excited!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Enough of that, let’s get to the Daybook…<\/p>\n

Daybook Online Journal<\/h2>\n

\"Christmas<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Thanking God for…<\/strong>
\n::the gift of His Son
\n::Christmas is a season not just a day
\n::a husband that makes me laugh
\n::a spiritual father that makes me laugh
\n::the good example set by my mother and father in love of parents and grandparents
\n::talking to my grandpa and grandma the day after Christmas<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Praying…<\/strong>
\nI’m praying for clear answers from the doctors this week as to some discomfort I’ve been having. I’m having a procedure tomorrow y’all and today I have to drink a gallon of stuff to prepare. First, I don’t think I drink a gallon of anything per day, maybe not even in two days time. And second, I think this might be gross. O Lord help me.<\/p>\n

I’m also praying for my children and their future spouses, that we can get back on track for school and life after our crazy, messed up Fall, that we can buckle down and get our house paid off this year.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Pondering…<\/strong>
\nI am pondering God’s Word. I’m considering the deep and dark places I had to go so I could find God in His Word. I’m pondering and praying as to how God can use me. I’m also pondering my word for 2015.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Hearing…<\/strong>
\nRight now, not much. People are still laying low from being sick with the flu over Christmas.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Reading…<\/strong>
\nMy Bible<\/a>\"\"<\/p>\n

Writing in the Margins: Connecting with God on the Pages of Your Bible<\/a>\"\"<\/p>\n

Life Management for Busy Women: Living Out God’s Plan with Passion and Purpose<\/a>\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Around the House…<\/strong>
\nOh the usual clean up, clean up, everybody do their share…<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the Kitchen…<\/strong>
\nWell, I had to start a liquid diet Saturday morning and can’t eat until Monday afternoon and then fast again starting at midnight Monday until Tuesday afternoon. I have no idea nor do I really care what goes on in the kitchen as long as they keep it clean and feed the younger ones.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In Our Domestic Church…<\/strong>
\nI ordered our Epiphany gifts last night. Can’t tell you or show you because my girlies read my blog. In addition to the gifts, I need to figure out what else we will do to celebrate. I also need to start preparing my little Maximilian for First Holy Communion this Spring and Luke and Bridget will make their Total Consecration this year so we need to pick the day and start the prep.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Week Ahead…<\/strong>
\ndoctors appointments, New Years Eve celebration–my grandparents will be celebrating their 66th Wedding Anniversary!! Holy Day of Obligation, my 43rd birthday is coming up–go me!! school and chores<\/p>\n
