Young Maiden's Daybook - August 3

Today…
August 3, 2009 :
The first day of Vacation Bible School at church.

Outside my window…
A gloomy and rainy day.
(Has been this way for the past week & 1/2)

I am thinking…
Of the things I need to do today.

I am thankful…
That mom is feeling much better!!!

I am wearing…
Pajamas... I'm not sure what I'll wear today.

I am reading…
2 Chronicles, Psalms, Proverbs, Ezekiel, Mark;
"The Church That Jesus Built"

I am creating…
Crafts for Vacation Bible School-
this year I'm working with the 4th-6th graders.

One of my favorite things…
Music! It sure lifts the soul & helps make life brighter.

For education this week…
"homecollege" =)
preparing to be a Keeper at Home
and studying Bibliography, Theology, & Christology this month.

A keeper at home skill I am using/learning...
Motherhood skills and interacting with young children.

A spiritual lesson I'm learning...
Really staying focused on the eternal perspective...
anything I achieve or do in my flesh will just burn someday.
I need to really be "laying up treasures in heaven".

A godly character trait I plan to work on…
Charity.

Scripture I am memorizing…
I'll be reviewing my old ones,
as well as hopefully finding more.

I'm praying for…
Vacation Bible School this week.

For the rest of the week…
VBS (Polar Extremes), keeping up the house,
Park Day Friday, cookout at our friends' on Saturday,
hopefully get to work on more Chirstmas gifts,
start sewing the young girls some dresses I cut out,
spend extra time with my wonderful Savior,
and whatever else the Lord sees fit to send my way.

A picture I’d like to share...
My handsome young brother on his 11th birthday, Saturday...

It's hard to believe that my 'baby brother' is growing up so fast!
He was my first sibling, and my one-and-only brother. :-)
I love him so much and am very proud of him as I see him,
not only 'growing up' in age, but also in the love of the Lord.
Happy Birthday, Will!

Have a great week!
