Simple Woman’s Daybook

17th Nov 2008



for Monday, November 17……….

Outside my window….. a light snow has fallen, 32degrees   ((Brrrrr))

I am thinking….. that God is good (all the time)..even when we don’t understand

I am thankful for…. my family and friends

From the kitchen….. Can you guess? Yep!! Oatmeal with raisins and lime water

I am wearing…. dark blue sweats, a light blue sweatshirt, black socks, black clogs, black jacket

I am creating….I’m working on a gift   Shhhh   (It’s a secret)

I am going…. to continue to look for a job  (and try to sell a scrolling sign)

I am reading….in Ezekiel and James

I am praying….that God will show me His will

I am hearing….a train approaching from a distance

Around the shoppe….I need to work on my paperwork (taxes- from shoppe in New Mexico)

One of my favorite things….to get together with (all) my family

A few plans for the rest of the week… get a new registration for the car (and driver’s license), pay the bills, find a job (so I can pay the bills), whatever else God has for me to do

A picture thought I am sharing….here is a new picture of the driveway that had those pretty trees.

Can you see the light covering of snow?

You can see the snow much better on my car…. :)

Saturday Psalm & Praise

15th Nov 2008



style=\

    John 14:2,3

    In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you.

    I go to prepare a place for you.

    And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto Myself,

    that where I am, there ye may be also

    Mansion over the Hilltop

    I’m satisfied with just a cottage below,
    A little silver and a little gold;
    But in that city where the ransomed will shine,
    I want a gold one that’s silver-lined.

      Chorus
      I’ve got a mansion just over the hilltop,
      In that bright land where we’ll never grow old;
      And someday yonder we will never more wander,
      But walk the streets that are purest gold.

    Tho’ often tempted, tormented and tested
    And, like the prophet, my pillow a stone,
    And tho’ I find here no permanent dwelling,
    I know He’ll give me a mansion my own.

      Chorus
      I’ve got a mansion just over the hilltop,
      In that bright land where we’ll never grow old;
      And someday yonder we will never more wander,
      But walk the streets that are purest gold.

    Don’t think me poor or deserted or lonely,
    I’m not discouraged, I’m heaven bound;
    I’m just a pilgrim in search of a city,
    I want a mansion, a harp and a crown.

    Chorus

    Psalm 1:1-3

    Blessed is the man

    Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly,

    Nor stands in the path of sinners,

    Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;

    2.  But his delight is in the law of the LORD,

    And in His law he meditates day and night.

    3.  He shall be like a tree

    Planted by the rivers of water,

    That brings forth its fruit in its season,

    Whose leaf also shall not wither,

    And whatever he does shall prosper.

    Blessings,

    Saturday Psalm & Praise

    8th Nov 2008

    Jesus Hold My Hand

    As I travel through this pilgrim land,
    There is a friend who walks with me.
    Leads me safely through the sinking sand,
    It is the Christ of Calvary.

    This would be my prayer, Dear Lord, each day,
    To help me do the best I can.
    For I need Thy Light to guide me day and night,

    Blessed Jesus, hold my hand.

    (Chorus)  Jesus, hold my hand,
    For, I need Thee every hour.
    Through this pilgrim land,
    Protect me by Thy power.

    Hear my feeble plea,
    O Lord, look down on me.
    When I kneel in prayer,
    I hope to meet you there.
    Blessed Jesus, hold my hand.

    Let me travel in the light divine,
    That I may see the blessed way.
    Keep me that I may be wholly, Thine,
    And sing redemption’s song some day.

    I will be a soldier brave and true,
    And ever firmly take a stand.
    As I onward go, and daily meet the foe,
    Blessed Jesus, hold my hand.

    Chorus

    Proverbs  18:24 A man who has friends must himself be friendly,
    But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother .

    Ephesians 2:13
    But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.

    Luke 10:18-19
    Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

    Acts 1:8 But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”

    Rev 2:25-26 But hold fast what you have till I come.  26 And he who overcomes, and keeps My works until the end, to him I will give power over the nations —

    Thank You Lord, for the promises in Your Word.

    Blessings,

    Here I Am To Worship

    Light of the World You stepped down into darkness

    Opened my eyes, let me see

    Beauty that made this heart adore You

    Hope of life spent with You

    Here I am to worship

    Here I am to bow down

    Here I am to say that You’re my God

    You’re altogether lovely,

    altogether worthy,

    altogether wonderful to me

    King of all days, oh so highly exalted

    Glorious in heaven above,

    humbly You came to the earth You created

    All for love’s sake became poor

    I’ll never know how much it cost, to see my sin upon that cross.

    John 8:12
    Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world . He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”
    Psalm 95:6-7
    Oh come, let us worship and bow down;
    Let us kneel before the LORD our Maker.
    7 For He is our God,
    And we are the people of His pasture,
    And the sheep of His hand
    Revelation 17:14
    …..for He is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those who are with Him are called, chosen, and faithful.”

    Oh Lord, let us never forget all that You have done for us.  Help us to show Your light to those

    who do not know You, and always be ready to give a reason for the hope that we have.

    Blessings,

    judi

    James 4: 8      Draw close to God, and God will draw close to you

    Draw me Close

    Draw me close to You
    Never let me go
    I lay it all down again
    To hear You say that I’m Your friend

    You are my desire
    No one else will do
    ‘Cause nothing else could take Your place
    To feel the warmth of Your embrace
    Help me find the way
    Bring me back to You

    You’re all I want
    You’re all I’ve ever needed
    You’re all I want
    Help me know You are near

    Dear Jesus, You are all I need

    Blessings,
    Judi

    for Monday October 20…………………..

    Outside my window…..the ground has a little frost covering this morning, but the sun is out and it looks like it’s going to be a beautiful fall day……..

    I am thinking….about what to wear for the “interview” this afternoon.  I have been self employed for so long! lol

    I am thankful for…for all the blessing I have…….

    From the kitchen…..I’m still thinking

    I am wearing…..black pants and clogs, a gray sweatshirt with the American flag on it……

    I am creating…..nothing right now…..

    I am going….to check out a couple of other places before my interview…

    I am reading…in Jeremiah and Timothy…..

    I am praying…for my family, unsaved loved ones. the elections

    I am hearing….the clock ticking, and a train off in the distance

    Around the Shoppe….just a couple more  boxes to go through soon, and tons of paperwork to organize.

    One of my favorite things…is to have all of my kids and grandkids ( and other relatives, too) gathered together for a meal and fellowship…

    A few plans for the rest of the week….Stay in the Word and follow God’s plan ……

    A picture thought I am sharing….. a couple of weeks ago, I moved from New Mexico (after 23 years) back to Indiana.  Since I had accumulated so much stuff, it was difficult for my son, David,  to figure out where to put everything.  He did a great job!!!  Thanks Dave….
