Love Sundays

morning pages

Who ever would have thought that it would take me almost a week to enter a "Love Sunday" that was written last Sunday in my quiet time notebook ... despite this I will now entry it on my blog before we have another new week starting tomorrow ...

Love Sunday waking up in Peru

Love Sunday as I wake up to hugs and happy birthdays from my Peruvian sisters and roommates Cecilia and Norma

Love Sunday morning quiet time in the word as the roosters crow outside the guest house window

Love Sunday breakfast of eggs and fruit, all food I can eat

Love sharing the word with Norma and seeing the Holy Spirit open up her heart to Christ

Love Sundays sharing in the fellowship of Peruvian believers

Love Sunday lunch with the team

Love Sunday bus tour of the wheelchair distribution site and the beach

Love sharing my birthday with John from CA, his wife Norma, and the team.
(John, Norma and myself laughed so hard we cried all day)

election day prayer

Heavenly Father I approach your throne today in freedom and confidence that Your kingdom come and Your will be done on this election day!

I like these journal prompts from the Simple Women's Day Book ... Above is the picture thought I would like to share for today ....

evening pages

Outside My Window ... it is now dark due to daylight savings time.

I am thinking ... about the reading I need to do for school and the reading I want to do for fun. Which will I choose?

I am thankful for ... my husband and the awesome eggs, bacon, and hashbrowns he fixed for dinner.

From the learning rooms ... I am learning how to better manage my time and take the time for the things I want to do.

From the kitchen ... I am about to stop blogging and clean up the dishes. I have a plan with my husband that he makes dinner and I do the dishes.

I am wearing ... cords and a short sleeve shirt but I will soon be in my jammies.

I am creating ... a scrapbook of my pictures from South Africa so when I return from Peru I am ready to scrapbook those pictures.

I am going ... to Peru on Friday (I am very excited).

I am reading ... War of Words by Paul Tripp.

I am hoping ... to build relationships with the people of Peru and to bring Christ to people with disabilities and bring people with disabilities to Christ.

I am hearing ... the washing machine as I try to get a load of towels washed and dried tonight.

Around the house ... I found signs that my grandson had visited today while I was at work.

One of my favorite things ... writing, of course!

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week: pray, read, work, eat, play and pack.
