Wonderful November Days

Tuesday, November 19

Today was a quiet day.  I was able to work on school work.  Grading, prep and giving Sierra and Summer quizzes and tests.  Can you believe we are over halfway through November?  I really want to stay on track to get done with this nine weeks before Christmas vacation.  With our busy schedule, we may not be able to do that but we will just do our best.


My little beauty posing for me. :)



Cuddling with the cat.


Summer's work for one of her American Heritage Girl badges.


A memory that popped up recently.  Sisters. :)


I downloaded photos off my phone and updated some blog posts.  I do this in the morning.  Once I start on other things, it seems I never get back to it.  So I do it first thing in the day.

Summer wanted to make dinner - a recipe she found.  Sheepherder's Breakfast.  It was good and I love that she loves to cook and bake.

I took Summer to her horse riding lesson at 5:30pm.  Autumn called and we talked for 2 hours!

Wednesday, November 20

What a warm and humid day!  I almost turned on the AC but I knew the temps would drop that night so I didn't.  I fed my starter and made a batch of sourdough.
I did my regular housework.


Sierra heading to serve as part of the Student Leadership Team - SLT.


Little Jackson loves this sleeping spot.


Autumn got a part in one of the college plays!  SO excited for her and can't wait to come and see it!


My husband took this photo of me singing on the praise team.  :)

I did feel in slow motion today.  Probably the heat and humidity.  

Sierra left to be at the church at 3:30pm.  She was helping for the church Thanksgiving dinner as part of the Student Leadership Team.

Summer and I went to the church at 4:30pm.  There was a Thanksgiving meal - turkey, ham, mashed potatoes and gravy, stuffing (or dressing as they call it here in the south), green beans, a roll, banana or chocolate pudding and sweet tea/lemonade.

I then had practice with the Praise Team at 5:20pm.  We had our Family Worship Hour at 6pm. This is a quarterly service we have.  Here is the link to watch it if you would like.  I enjoyed so much singing on the Praise Team.  My husband took this photo while we sang. :)

Pastor Keith gave a message on Paul and thankfulness.  Then we had the Lord's Supper.

After the service, we had choir practice to run through all our upcoming Christmas songs for December 22.  

It was a busy evening but I enjoyed it very much!  I am so thankful for this church.

You May Abound In Hope

Today I completed a devotional book by Candace Cameron Bure.  100 Days of Joy and Strength.  I was struggling last night.  Darkness seemed to overwhelm me.  The last day of this devotional gave me exactly the encouragement I needed to go another day. Here are the verses she shared from God's Word. "I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in His word I put my hope."  Psalm 130:5 "We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;"  II Corinthians 4:8-9 "As for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me.  Do not gloat over me, my enemy!  Though I have fallen, I will rise.  Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light."  Micah 7:7-8 "I remain confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.  Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord."...
