Young Maiden's Daybook - November 30

Today…
November 30, 2009


Outside my window…
The sun is shining brightly in a bold blue sky!


I am thinking…
Of the things I plan to do today with my best friend.


I am thankful…
That November is almost over
and December is soon!!!


I am wearing...
Khaki skirt and brown jacket/blouse thing.


I am reading…
2 Chronicles, Proverbs, Ezekiel, Mark;
"Fascinating Truths" by James Knox
"The Lost Cause Series" by James Knox
"Do Hard Things" by Alex and Brett Harris
"Choosing Gratitude" by Nancy Leigh DeMoss with Mama ;o)
"Passionate Housewives Desperate For God"
by Jennie Chancey & Stacy McDonald


I am creating…
A scarf that I'm going to post about, a wool shawl,
homemade Christmas gifts for my immediate family,
and a list of things to make (when I get more yarn) for my etsy shop.


One of my favorite things…
A day spent with my best friend (like today!)


For education this week…
I really need to call around for some field trips for our HS group;
"homecollege" a.k.a Daughter at Home University =)
preparing to be a Keeper at Home, for the mission field,
and studying in-depth Ecclesiology.
Also getting fluent in Modern Greek.


A keeper at home skill I am learning/using...
Knitting :-) And I've brought back out cross-stitching.


A spiritual lesson I'm learning...
That not everyone has the same convictions I do,
and I need to have an active grace with those who differ.


A godly character trait I plan to work on…
Honoring parents (not just obeying)...
boy, is that more difficult the older you get!


Scripture I am memorizing…
"So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom,
and apply thine heart to understanding;
Yea, if thou criest after knowledge,
and liftest up thy voice for understanding;
If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures;
Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD,
and find the knowledge of God."
Proverbs 2:2-5 with my online friend



I'm praying for…
The Lord's guidance through my life.
That He would show me His truths from His Word,
and help me to be forgiving and have grace toward others.
The Lord to bless and to grow our church.
Also praying that He sends more missionaries to
the much needed country of Greece and the rest of the world.


For the rest of the week…
Going throughout the neighborhood
with my best friend to invite people to church today;
going to W*l-M*rt for fabric & yarn;
keeping up the house; a trip to the chiropractor (hopefully);
adding rick-rack to my Christmas skirt, and sashes for the children involved in
a "Keepers At Home" group we recently started;
working on instrument arrangements;
responding to some letters, comments and emails;
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 favorite family picture that we took Saturday...



Have a great week!

Have A Blessed Thanksgiving...

"Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands.
Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing.
Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us,
and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise:
be thankful unto him, and bless his name.
For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting;
and his truth endureth to all generations."
Psalms 100

Young Maiden's Daybook - November 23

Today…
November 23, 2009


Outside my window…
The sun is... rising!!!
(yeah! I actually got up early this morning!)


I am thinking…
Of the song "It Wouldn't Be Enough".
(which song I'll be (hopefully!) composing a steel guitar
arrangement of this week for my my and Stephani's CD!)
"If I had all the riches this world has to give
and the comfort that it brings, never needing anything;
I could search the whole world over far and wide
tryin' to buy this precious love that was sent from heavn' above.
But it wouldn't be enough, no it wouldn't be enough
to buy one splinter of the tree that Jesus died on.
And I couldn't pay the price for a single drop of blood
that was shed for my salvation...."


I am thankful…
For another day on this earth,
and for all the people I share my days with.


I am wearing...
Sleepytime attire for now!


I am reading…
2 Chronicles, Proverbs, Ezekiel, Mark;
"Do Hard Things" by Alex and Brett Harris

by Jennie Chancey & Stacy McDonald

A scarf that I'm going to post about, a wool shawl,
homemade Christmas gifts for my immediate family,
finishing a cross-stitch project for my best friend,
and a list of things to make (when I get more yarn) for my etsy shop.


One of my favorite things…
A nice big, warm, morning drink
inside of my big mug that mama bought me!
(chai green tea this morning)


For education this week…
I really need to call around for some field trips for our HS group;
"homecollege" a.k.a Daughter at Home University =)

A spiritual lesson I'm learning...
That not everyone has the same convictions I do,
and I need to have an active grace with those who differ.


A godly character trait I plan to work on…
Praying without ceasing.
All throughout the day, just like I'd be talking to a friend.


S cripture I am memorizing…
"And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these
little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple,
verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward."
Matthew10:42
Reminding me how I am to treat children as Jesus would...
even by doing something as small as getting a cup of water.


I'm praying for…
The Lord's guidance through my life.
That He would show me His truths from His Word,
and help me to be forgiving and have grace toward others.
The Lord to bless and to grow our church.
Also praying that He sends more missionaries to
the much needed country of Greece and the rest of the world.


For the rest of the week…
Posting something; starting a possible book;
going to W*l-M*rt for fabric & yarn;

Ü Thrift Store and Etsy Gifts Ü

My sweetie Mom has been spoiling me *Ü*.
As I came home from soul-winning Saturday,
Mom surprised me with a package!!
She had bought me a nice suit dress!! (picture below)
(I looove ladies suit dresses and have been wanting to get one!)
Then we went thrift storing yesterday and I had picked out
2 shirts and a skirt I liked...
and she purchased them for me!!
She also bought me a pair of dress shoes that
I've been wanting to get some day!

Here are some pics of the newly bought clothes...

The ladies suit and matching shirt she picked.
I'm, also, wearing the dress shoes she bought =)



A white blouse and skirt I picked from thrift store.


Thanks for all the stuff!
What a sweetie you are, Mom!!

Young Maiden's Daybook - November 17
