Pizza Cupcakes and a Rainy Afternoon

Thursday, September 14 - School day 21. I had a ton of dishes to do from the night before. I swear we dirty so many dishes in this house. I did the dishes, cleaned the kitchen, and swept. Put a load of laundry in the washer and fold the towels in the dryer.

I needed to finish up with the front lawn. I did the trimming for all the front. I outlined the front lawn and then Sierra mowed. I then had to clean up all the lawn debris-grass, dirt, etc. from the street and sidewalk. I really need to get a leaf blower cause I look ridiculous with my broom and dustpan. Ha! But I don't care - it looks so good! I can't stand it when people leave all the dead grass and debris on the street and sidewalks. I was completely drenched in sweat but I do love outside work the most.

Shortly after we finished, we had a storm roll in, and here came the rain. Another soaker! Glad we got it all done! I just LOVE afternoon summer thunderstorms!

Worked on my blog a little in the afternoon. It is the perfect feeling to have your work done (even if it is just for a couple hours) and enjoy sitting in a clean home, enjoying the rain, and doing something pleasant like blogging. :)

Autumn had requested pizza cupcakes and apple pie enchiladas so that is what I made for dinner. The pizza cupcakes were pretty good, I have to say! They are a super easy dinner and kids will enjoy them. I pair them with a side salad and it is a quick and easy meal. :)

The girls and I sat around at the dining table and chatted. Cleaned up the kitchen and finished the dishes. Walked Max.

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."...
