Quiet October Weekend

Saturday, October 26

In the morning, Summer had her soccer game.

I finished up this book by Jonathan Haidt. The Anxious Generation - How the Great Rewiring of Childhood is Causing an Epidemic of Mental Illness.

Buy this book. Read it. Apply it. It is so good and so important!

Sierra left the college and drove back home from Pensacola. She arrived home around 4:30pm. I am so glad she got to go to this event. She made new connections, spent a little time with her sisters and cousin, and experienced more of Pensacola Christian College. I am very grateful for Pensacola Christian College! Let your teens do things like this. On their own. It will help them to grow so much!

Then they left at 5pm to go to a youth activity. It was on a farm so everyone dressed as farmers and animals. They had chili and grilled cheese and games. I'm grateful for a church that truly invests in young people.

My My Pillow order finally came in. Mike Lindell had a sale for $14.99 for their standard pillows. I decided to get all the girls their own My Pillow. They are such good quality and hold up so long.

Warm day!

I was at home by myself. I watched a new Hallmark Christmas movie. :)

Connection Group @ 9:30am.

Church @ 10:45am. Always a great day in the Lord's house.

Summer made lemon rice soup for lunch. We worked on a few things for school and I prepped a few things for the week.

The girls then went to youth group. I watched some of Trump's Madison Square Garden rally which was incredible! Then I watched one of the new Hallmark Christmas movies. :)

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
