FOR TODAY . . . July 29, 2014

Outside my window . . . 65* and a pure blue sky filled with sunshine.

I am thinking . . . about a request I got last night and how to handle it.

I am thankful . . . for another good day with my bestie. Everything seems brighter after time spent with her.

In the kitchen . . . Six Layer Dish is providing leftover lunches for dh this week!

I am wearing . . . my white cotton gown.

I am creating . . . a life. Sometimes I forget that creating is more than just producing craft items or food. I am reminded this morning that even if I don't have a project to show off or talk about, it doesn't mean I'm not being creative.

I am going . . . to the pool! The weather here has been just fabulous this month, so I'm soaking in as much pool time as possible.

I am wondering . . . about out upcoming trip to Bonaire, and hoping that I don't have trouble with my ears.

I am reading . . . Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail by Cheryl Strayed. It's very interesting so far. Reese Witherspoon is starring in the movie adaptation.

I am looking forward to . . . changes that are upcoming for our family.

I am hearing . . . peace and quiet, punctuated with occasional bird calls and wind chimes.

Around the house . . . I regained some control over the clutter yesterday! Yay me :)

I am praying . . . for Dr. Kent Brantly who is working with the ebola crisis in Liberia and tested positive for the disease himself.

One of my favorite things . . . is this kind of weather. Lows in the 60s and highs in the 80s. Perfect summer time weather if you ask me.

A few plans for the rest of the week . . . a bit calmer than some weeks. I just want to keep focus and get some things caught up around the house. Lunch with another dear friend on Thursday, and then friends over for lunch and birthday celebrations on Sunday.

Here is a picture for thought I am sharing . . . 

dh is heading to Malaysia this fall --

Counseling in Malaysia

Just wanted to share this exciting news with all of my readers. My husband is going to Malaysia to help others learn about marriage and family therapy. We are very excited for him to have this opportunity.

(Alan and Claire on a previous mission trip)

I would like to ask all of you to pray for us as he prepares for the trip and especially while he is traveling and out of the country. Please pray for me as I will be here at home. Pray that I will feel peace and comfort knowing he is doing good works.

If you would like to make a donation to the trip just follow the link -- Alan Goes to Malaysia

Thank you for your continued support and reading of my blog. You are all part of my extended family and I am grateful for our connection.
