Young Maiden's Daybook - May 25

Today…
May 25, 2009
Happy Memorial Day!

Outside my window…
Sunny blue sky with lots of clouds.
There's been a break in the rain!

I am thinking…
About graduation... NEXT WEEK!

I am thankful for…
God's forgiveness and mercy.
If we had gotten justice we'd surely be lost;
But we find mercy when we kneel at the cross!
from the song Mercy


I am wearing…
My dark blue dress.

I am reading…
1 Chronicles, Psalms, Proverbs, 1 Peter
"Shadow of the Almighty" by Elisabeth Elliot;
"The Total Money Makeover" by Dave Ramsey;
"Bruised Reed" by Thomas Lambie

I am creating…
Various afghans.
(3 and a baby blanket to be exact)

One of my favorite things…
Music!

For education this week…
Whatever I learn on the way :)

A keeper at home skill I am using/learning...
Motherhood skills.

A spiritual lesson I'm learning...
Dealing with suffering.
I believe I give into being discontent about
my physical ailments more than I like to admit.

A godly character trait I plan to work on…
Still charity, but I desperately need the Lord's help with meekness.

Scripture I am memorizing…
I plan to find a verse sometime this week.
I admit... I didnt' last week :(

I'm praying for…
My poor mommy to feel better :(
She's had a bad cough and now
she's lost her voice completely.
I tried making an appointment, but doctors are closed today.

For the rest of the week…
Whatever might happen today
(something may come up later for Memorial Day),
preparing for family coming next week for my graduation,
resting (fibromayalgia is starting to kick in more lately),
work on a rather difficult fiddle arrangement of
"Guide Me O Thou Great Jehovah" from
Ken Lych's Sacred Solos For Advanced Violin book,
and whatever else the Lord sees fit to add!

A picture I’d like to share...
This was the cake I made for my friend's aunt's graduation reception...

It took me 2 days to make.
Actually, I had hoped to arranged the flowers differently,
but when I made them all, a bunch of them
fell on the ground and got smooshed :(
Thankfully all of the roses survived!!
Have a great week!
