Lisa Notes: On this day in June

On this day in June

Outside my window...a bird is nesting in Jenna’s cow flower pot, but I only see her when I water the fern and she flies out in a mad dash

In the kitchen...don’t ask me; it’s Jenna’s night to cook (gonna miss that in the fall!)

I am memorizing...nothing new; it’s review only this summer for me

I am thinking...about what to say in a meeting we’re trying to get scheduled

I am grateful...Jeff and I are in this together

I am praying...for understanding hearts all around to reflect what is most glorifying to the Lord

I am remembering...many wonderful experiences and times of growth with dear believing friends through the years

I am wondering...how God will redeem particular circumstances; I know he’s got it figured out already

I am studying...Nehemiah with the family girls for year 2 of our summer book club (lovin’ it!)

I am pondering these words...“We may be conditioned to think that God’s wrath or judgment leads us to repentance, but how amazing is it that it is His kindness?” (see Romans 2:4) – Kelly Minter

I am resolving...to stick it out with the chiropractor until either we have success or he concedes defeat (even though my nature is rebelling against a possible inefficient use of time while we try to figure out which)

I am thankful...for schedules and timers and binders and lists and calendars that greatly keep me on track and thus improve my life

I am appreciating...having a precious 23-year-old daughter as of Wednesday. Happy Birthday, Morgan!

I am wearing...a sleeveless shirt and new khaki shorts my daughters made me buy for myself

Around the house...a sweet visit yesterday with this beautiful child and her adorable mother

I am creating...another order with Oriental Trading for more VBS supplies (I love online shopping much more than going to stores)

I am reading...Stained Glass Hearts by Patsy Clairmont (as I look at mosaic heart wallpaper on my laptop; unexpected synergy that shouldn’t surprise me) and these books

I am going...to Georgia for a mini-vacation

I am looking forward to...having a full rehearsal in Spanish with our VBS crew next week

I am discovering...so many more blogs I want to read (this is not good!)

A picture for thought...our funny Sunday afternoon trying to recite John 1:1-14 together

I am planning ... to drop something off at your house. Will you be home this evening or tonight? I can leave it on the porch, but wouldn't want that nesting bird to snatch it away while you're in Georgia! We also have a nesting bird in one of our hanging baskets of double impatiens. She flies in my face each time I water the plants. No eggs, just a warm, snuggly haven for her. So I water anyway, knowing it will be dry on top by nightfall. (troubles logging in)

The gift is lovely, Kim. Thank you. You and your girls are very special. I looked up Beth Stone; she's a marvelous artist!

We have at least two baby birds in our fern nest now. At least they can't fly in my face. . . yet. ha.

I'm still home waiting for the service guy to show up to fix the air conditioning... Yeah, I know, we all can't be so lucky...
Sounds like your plate is full. Happy birthday to Morgan, our oldest turns 24 in August... time flies when you're having fun... like today for instance...

Never fun waiting on service guys. Hope you got your a/c fixed by now!

Time definitely flies when you're having fun...and drags when you're not. ;-)

Ditto to Dianna's wishes. The Living Proof Ministries blog community is doing that same study together this summer, beginning the end of the month. It's nice to see your positive recommendation here. May God guide that chiropractor's mind and hands to give you help and relief. I'm sorry you are still dealing with pain. Grace and peace be multiplied to you, Lisa.

Love,
christina

I really am enjoying the study so far. We watch a 20-minute video then talk about the homework we did during the week. It is labor-intensive, but it's good stuff.

Thanks for your prayers for my pain and the chiropractor. I'm sure good things will come out of it, whether or not it relieves my pain (but I hope it does!). My s-i-l works there so I get to visit with her twice a week now, and the chiropractor is a godly man that I enjoy having conversations with each time. Praying for you, too!

Happy Birthday to Morgan!

I love planning and organizational "stuff" much better than implementing plans.

I'd not heard of that book by Clairmont. Must look it up.

That little girl has such beautiful eyes.

I always enjoyed planning and organizing my homeschool year much more than carrying it out. ;-)

I finished the Patsy Clairmont book today. It was okay; nothing spectacular though.

What a gift you give your client if you listen that way, Barbara. I pray you receive blessings in return!

Sounds like a lovely morning, well, except for the cat. ha. (I'm allergic.)

I love the idea of a summer book club. How fun!

We did it last year and had a blast--sisters, nieces, cousins. Our crowd is smaller this summer (a couple nieces stayed at college for the summer), but it's still great with whoever can come each time.

OH what a fun look into your life Lisa...it makes me smile...through the very happy moments and celebrations AND the little trials and deep prayer requests you offer to God, you shine through it all, sending out a little ray of light to others to remember that God is involved in EVERY situation in our lives...always working. Have fun on that trip to Georgia, and enjoying your girl still in the nest, and celebrating with your girl who comes back to visit mama ... I had to laugh at visiting more blogs..."not good" INDEED! I hear ya. so many hugs to you. Thanks for giving a peek into your day. It was a fun visit. :-) xoxo

Jeff just told me that he's been on these trips before without me, and MUCH prefers when I am with him. So that makes me feel good! :-) A great way to get started. Thanks for stopping in to visit. I enjoy your company so much, Julie--you always leave me feeling so blessed.
