Last Soccer Game and a Bonfire

Saturday, November 9

Today was the girls' last soccer game for this season. I was glad that Eric was in town to see it.

After we got home from the game, Sierra went to work. Her shift was 3-10pm.

I mowed the lawn and Eric did the trimming. I also took some time to straighten up the garage. And a few other outdoor tasks. It felt really good. The day was warm but overcast.

When I finished up, I decided to make a little bonfire. It was VERY nice. It was just what I needed. A little time to sit out in nature, smell a bonfire, drink a cup of cocoa, and be with my family.

A beautiful ending to the week.

I then turned on a Christmas Hallmark movie. I was about halfway through and my sister called and we had a long chat until 11pm. Late night but good night.

Sunday, November 10

Eric and I went to Connection Group.

Sierra and Summer worked in the 2-year-old preschool and I worked in the baby/toddler nursery for the morning service.

For lunch, I made sausage pierogi skillet. After lunch, I went to Aldi and got groceries for this week. Stopped by Wendy's for a much needed Coke. Then did the dishes and cleaned my kitchen. The girls went to Youth Group and I finished up two Christmas Hallmark movies that I was halfway through and did some blogging. Today ended up a little rainy so it had a fall feel to it. :)

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
