I cannot believe that I’ve been so busy that it has been two weeks since I posted on this meme… but there have many prayer meetings and I’m doing two very deep Bible Studies so I suppose that is my excuse, and I do know each weekend when I realize I missed this yet again, I felt pretty bad! It seems I don’t have a whole lot to write about but let’s just start!
Sunday’s have been pretty hectic the last month.. of course, there is church, then we always dine out for lunch with our best friends from church, from which we usually get back home around 2:30 .. just enough time to get comfortable before it is time to be back to church Sunday night. Then we are home by eight and that is when I enjoy getting cosy in bed and watch a good movie etc. so that’s our Sundays.
Monday is a day we have the whole day to get our agenda under way. This week I worked on taking down autumn decor to make way for Christmas… you might question why… because we leave in less than a week on our journey to New England to celebrate Thanksgiving, Christmas, and our youngest’s 8 th birthday. We plan to take our time driving. ..over two days.. we generally take several state highways, and try to miss especially Interstate 81 which is HORRIBLE. So, I am working every empty day on decorating for Christmas which I really enjoy. I, also , have some beautiful medieval Christmas cd’s I love to play while decorating. These are gorgeous but not too Christmassy. Just right for enjoying during these early days.
Tuesday is a Bible study day… at church I am taking a ladies’ Bible Study on the 7 feasts. This study has been so enjoyable and eye opening. It is amazing the many connections the original feast days have through scripture and especially in relation to the coming of Christ. I love the discussion, but the homework is a bit grueling. Much writing and thinking, but it really pays off. By the time I get home I’m ready to eat lunch and settle into a lazy afternoon. I usually pick myself up around 3-4 to do something worthwhile around the house.. especially to think about supper!
Wednesday is about the same as Tuesday. Hubs and I both are in a couples study that again is quite intense. We are studying the Minor prophets and how they relate to the church in the end times. We love our group and appreciate the huge amount of study our teacher does in preparation!
Thursday, today, I enjoyed driving up into the mountain to my dear friend , Gerri’s home. It was her turn to host our bimonthly prayer meeting. There are 5 of us ladies who meet, but today there were 4. I so love this group because we are so close , like sisters, we can be completely candid about our true prayer needs and concerns. Today we shared for two hours over coffee and goodies, and prayed together for an hour. It was glorious! The day was so gorgeous it may be our last warm and sunny day for some time. So I cherished the drive back into the city! I barely had time to grab a half of a ham sandwich before I had my second hair cut in the new salon . I am so bad I couldn’t remember my new hairdresser’s name. I wrote it down in my wallet this time! But she is very good and I’m getting more compliments about my hair and paying 20 dollars less. So glad I made the move!
Friday, tomorrow, the day starts out with my usual diet breakfast and then on to Weight Watchers to weigh in. So far I have lost 36 pounds…since June. They say losing it slowly is good but I am anxious to make it 40. On Friday nights we actually go back to our Wednesday Bible Teacher’s home to pray with Intercessors for America. There are so many things to pray for and we are honored to be called to do this , now for almost twenty years.
So this is much as every week goes, except there are monthly prayer meetings depending on what week it is. I am not complaining, nor not trying to impress, I am thankful to be spending our days doing something for His kingdom. Since hubs and I really have no other family than these wonderful folks we have chosen to spend this precious time together, it truly is a blessing!
