The {weekly} Daybook, II

Outside my window . . .

Fallish (dead) looking trees.

A cute little courtyard with benches, a fountain, and vivid mums.

Sunshine and shadows.

COLD WIND.

I’m not quite ready for this cold-enough-for-snow weather.

 

I am thinking . . .

about the reality of spiritual warfare and the relevance to our churches today. We are so clueless about what is going on in the spiritual realm and because of that ignorance, we are missing so much of the battle. How do we become more tuned in and aware of what is happening?

I am creating . . .

…little autumn banners.

…more flower bouquets and fall arrangements. (Only a few more weeks to enjoy autumn!)

…Christmas cards, designed online.

I am reading . . . {Amalyah’s Search For Love, by Harvey Yoder} I’m not very far into this book, but so far it’s been very interesting. The main character is a Jewish girl who grows up on a kibbutz, which is an Israeli communal farm.

I am hoping . . .

to take advantage of this deal. Buy One, Get One Free on any Starbucks Holiday beverages today through November 17. (2-5 pm) There’s your perfect excuse to take someone else out for afternoon coffee. 😀

Around the house . . .

Switched up the decor in our room. Love our grays and reds.

I am thankful for . . .

• Friends who are open and honest
• Fresh hot coffee (helps keep one awake during a sales workshop)
• Laughter (ask me about the tire episode next time you see me)
• Seasons

In the Kitchen . . .

I made “Skinny Chocolate” for the first time last week. I took the plunge and bought some Truvia for the first time, and made the Coconut Almond Skinny Chocolate. I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was! I’m excited to try different kinds now. Have you ever made “skinny chocolate”? If so, what kind and did you like it?

One of my favorite things . . .

Road trips with my favorite person. 😀

A picture . . .

Lovely to reconnect with this dear friend a couple days ago. 😀
