Welcome to my Daybook Online Journal<\/strong>. \u00a0This is a weekly post where I keep an online journal of my day to day. \u00a0They say the days are long but the years are short and my Daybook Online Journal<\/strong> helps me remember the little things that may seem insignificant in the day to day but end up being the things of importance in the long run.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Thanking God for…<\/strong> <\/p>\n Praying for…<\/strong> I’m praying for our teens; you could not pay me enough money to go back. They are assaulted with so many messages, many of them contradictory. Their own thoughts and words contradict each other at any given moment. I pray they find their anchor in their families but more importantly in Christ.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Pondering…<\/strong> <\/p>\n Listening to…<\/strong> <\/p>\n Reading…<\/strong> The Way, Furrow, The Forge by Jose Maria Escriva<\/a><\/p>\n Mother love: a prayer book for Christian wives and mothers <\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n In the Kitchen…<\/strong> I’ve been following the Trim Healthy Mama<\/a> eating plan since January. I’ve lost almost 25 pounds and feel like I have kept my blood sugar stable. Basically I just feel good overall, like no afternoon crashes. The past week or so I’ve eaten a little off plan here or there and slowly I’ve started feeling not as good. So back on plan this week.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Around the house…<\/strong> <\/p>\n Looking Ahead…<\/strong> <\/p>\n Captured…<\/strong>

\nI am praying for the children and parents who only find their joy and worth in a game, be it soccer, football, baseball, etc. The parents who can’t keep it in perspective are the crazed fools on the sidelines and the kids are the poor sports on the field.<\/p>\n
\nWould life be a good enough answer? How do we live a life in the world but not of the world? How do we live a joy filled life when there is so much suffering, internal and external? I’m full of the big questions aren’t are?<\/p>\n
\nThe two older girls are cleaning the kitchen and apparently you cannot clean without Spotify going. Leo is begging the older girls to give him some ice cream, the air conditioner is running–hello, Fall?<\/p>\n
\nMy Bible<\/a><\/p>\n
\nI need to make a meal plan and then grocery list. Chris grilled burgers the other night and they hit the spot so I see them being added to the list.<\/p>\n
\nThis last week was a pretty good school and chore week; the first since we’ve been so sick. This week’s upcoming hunting\/camping schedule looks likely to disrupt any progress we’ve made. My plan is to try to remain flexible while trying to stick to a good solid schedule.<\/p>\n
\nschool, chores, hunting\/camping, soccer practices, blogging–31 Days<\/a> Writing Challenge continues<\/p>\n
