Phew...Made it! Last week was very busy here and I didn't have any time to sit down and blog. It was a good week filled with good things but very busy! On Monday the kids had a 2 hour delay so they had a shorter school day. I spent the time after they left deep cleaning a room. Tuesday I was blessed to get to visit with my sister; we don't live far apart but it just seems we don't get together nearly as much as we'd like. Wednesday I had some time out with a friend and then another friend and her daughter joined us for dinner. Thursday I was able to be home and Friday was errands and a much needed hair cut. So, again, a great week but busy. I'm happy to join in this
week's
Happy Homemaker Monday with Sandra over at Diary of a Stay At Home Mom. I hope you all are having a great week and start to this new year.
The Weather:
It's chilly here but sunny!!! It has been soooo dreary and gray the last few weeks that having sun is such a blessing. I'm very ready for spring and warmer weather.
Outside my Window:
The sun is shining. There are buds on the ornamental plum tree and the magnolia tree; which seems very odd for the beginning of February.
Right Now I am:
Taking a minute to sit and blog while laundry finishes and the bread finishes it's first rise.
Thinking and Pondering:
How patient God is with me. He never tires of us bringing our thoughts, praises, requests and concerns to Him. He is always there to listen, teach, guide and correct. I'm so thankful for the relationship He provides through His Son, Jesus.On my T.V this week:
No idea. Maybe catch up on some YouTube channels I follow. Oh, and my husband introduced me to a new one called Sandwiches of History. I already follow Tasting History and love that channel so the sandwiches one should be fun...I just really love history.
On the Dinner Plate:
Tonight is Moo Shu Chicken using this recipe and substituting chicken for the pork. I'll cook up some brown rice to go with it since a few of the kids aren't fans of tortillas.On the Menu this week:

Highlight from Last week:
It was great to hang out with my sister one day and a friend another day. I'm so thankful for the ladies God has brought into my life.
I'm studying through Hebrews and this verse in particular caught my attention. As my readers know, I love to dig into the original forms and meanings of the words. The two words merciful and faithful are the ones I focused on here. Reading through the original meanings brings so much beauty of this verse into focus.
eleémón - merciful, acting consistently with the revelation of God's covenant. Actively compassionate.
pistos - faithful, trustworthy. Trusty, faithful, of persons who show themselves faithful in the transaction of business, the execution of commands, or the discharge of official duties.
This made me think of the verses in 2 Corinthians 1:19-20 where we are told that " For all the promises of God find their Yes in him." Jesus is faithful to fulfill all that God has promised! He always acts consistently with God's covenant.
