New Dresser and Chance of Tornado

Wednesday, October 11

Today is warmer and more humid. Overcast skies. Rain is coming in this evening. I have enjoyed having the AC off and the windows open for the last three-four days. So different but enjoyable!

I took some time to download photos off my phone and update several blog posts. I do this best early morning and it was nice and quiet. Cloudy skies, soft music, husband is gone (ha!).

I have been looking for some furniture/home items on FB Marketplace. I found a very nice dresser for Autumn and Addie's room. Thankfully, the seller was very responsive and I was able to go to Fruit Cove/St. John's County and pick it up in the afternoon. Thank you, Jesus!

Jackson may become a lap cat in the winter. :)

Dinner is super simple - chicken patty sandwiches and french fries. I then took the girls to Youth Group. We did hit a couple Goodwill stores today as well but no luck.

Rain is coming in tonight with a chance of severe thunderstorms and tornadoes.

This is at a neighborhood close to us - wild pigs/boars! Ugh!!

Snow at Crater Lake! I just love the first snows of the season in the west!

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." Psalm 27
