Happy Homemaker Monday

You can visit Sandra and join HHM HERE 

It was a strange week. It started with me forgetting to post my HHM post. I wrote it, just didn't add it to the list. Then I ended up taking my sister to the emergency room (see last week's post for more information). I was out there several times this week and today brought her home. It's all just a mess. I'm stressed out and trying SO HARD to rest in the LORD and be a good representative of Jesus, but I am not doing a great job. 

         *** The weather in my neck of the woods*** 

It is going to be in the upper 50's most of the week, starting with sun and then several days of rain. Most excitedly, we have our first chance of SNOW on Sunday!! It'll be the first time we've hit freezing. 
 
*** What I am wearing *** 
A Fleetwood Mac t-shirt, black yoga pants 

*** Book I'm reading *** 

 I'm currently reading: 
I did not read at all last week 

Bible: 
Still enjoying the Gospels, although it is time to read through the crucifixion - and I never like to read about everything Jesus had to endure. 
 

*** What's on my tv *** 
YouTube 
Days of Our Lives

    I always love visiting and looking at your photos! I just added you to my follow list so I can visit more than just on Mondays :) I love your scripture memorization. Keep your head up, we all endure stressful times that bring out the worst in our hearts, but you're staying in the Word and allowing that to guide you. :)

    Hello dear Friend! Prayers for you Sister. And never feel badly for getting overwhelmed and sidetracked. Life keeps life-ing (it sure has been here too) and we are all just doing our best. I believe if we stay close to Him and His word...and give ourselves grace - especially for weeks we really need it, then it will all grow more calm. I think sometimes we may have to be more patient but if we reach for Him through it all, He is always there to lift us up. Love your beautiful photos! Sending you big hugs and prayers for healing, peace and calm. 🙏🏻🍂🧡

  You can visit Sandra and join HHM HERE                           Hello, sweet friends. I'm going to ask for prayer right up front! I have a doctor's appointment and an ultrasound to find out what a bulge in my abdomen is. I'm leaning towards ventral hernia - but there is always the possibility of something worse. I would really appreciate knowing that I'm being lifted up to the LORD.              *** The weather in my neck of the woods***   Cooler weather! What a blessing Monday  -  Sunny and 79 😍  Tuesday  - Rain, 76 Wednesday  - Partly cloudy, 78 Thursday  - Mostly sunny, 80 Friday  - Sunny and 83 Saturday  - Partly sunny, 82 Sunday  - Cloudy, 76     *** Things that make me happy *** Journaling, art journaling, planning, prayer journaling - all the journaling   *** Book I'm reading ***    I'm curren...

I am linking up with Sandra from Diary of a Stay at Home Mom for Happy Homemaker Monday On My Breakfast Plate: It was actually a bowl of chicken noodle soup!  The weather in my neck of the woods .....  Today is in the mid 50s - tomorrow the mid 80s!  I am hopeful there will be some sunshine so I can enjoy my new bench on my balcony and get some Vitamin D. Right now I am.... THE COVID CHRONICLES Right now I am recovering from COVID-19.  Back on Easter Sunday my girls and I went to my dad's to cook dinner.  Once we were already there, my dad mentioned he wasn't feeling quite right.  Soon after he and my sister found out they were positive.  A couple of days after that my daughters both tested positive.  Then me.  Then my other sister.   Dad was hospitalized for a few days at the beginning.  His oxygen dipped down into the 80s.  I am so thankful to God that he was released shortly after.  NO pneumonia!  No blood clo...

This is my first time participating in Saturday 9, hosted by Samantha @ Samantha Saturday 9  Saturday 9: What Hurts the Most  1)  Any aches and pains to report?   Achy all over - but I'll take it over other pain!  2) What's the last thing you misplaced? Did you find it? A receipt my mom needs to return something she received for Mother's Day.  Have not found it yet!  3) Lead singer Gary LeVox sings that he's not afraid to cry. When is the last time you shed a tear? Earlier this week when I found out that an  acquaintance  of mine had passed of cancer.  It was very unexpected and she was just a wonderful woman!  4) Tell us about something you thought you wanted, but later weren't sure? Seat covers for my car - I've wanted them for the past couple of months, but once I put them on, I hated them and took them right off!  5) What else is Ohio known for? Losing to the Michigan Wolverines?  :)  6) ...
