Daybook #3

Outside my window, it's black and starry, but it's been grey and drizzly all day.

I have been listening to Jimmy Needham's Night Lights. It's so full of joy in God and great lyrics; the album lifts the mood and points my thoughts back to where they ought to be.

I am wearing (on my feet) those orange moccasins. Bright happy feet!

I am thankful for the telephone and the way it connects me to all the women of my family. I'm not a phone person in the least, but I love that my mother and my sisters are just a speed dial away.

I am pondering a whole skein of things that's so tangled up I can't find the start or the end of the thread.

I am reading Madeleine L'Engle's Walking on Water and revelling in this insight into the mind of an artist who loves words and loves Jesus.

I am thinking about God's purposes in solitude.

I am creating a little study space that's slowly growing cosy and organised.

Beauty in the home comes via the amazing soy candles I bought at the markets last weekend. I just sniff them when I walk by, because I'm cool like that.

I am hoping and praying for my unmarried girlfriends who are waiting on God's sovereign plan in their life to become clearer.

One of my favourite things is hauling a huge pile of books and DVDs home from the library.

A picture thought I'm sharing is of a happy corner in my study. Vintage map courtesy of Anastasia. Old typewriter and camera courtesy of council garbage pickup (so I scrounged. Don't judge). Photo board made by my clever sister Lauren. Pictures from Mum and Lauren and Amanda.
