| Thanks again so much for the prayers. I’ve had a lot of time the past few days to spend in prayer and spending time with my Jesus. When I draw close to Him, I am reminded of all His promises. I know His timing is perfect (not mine) and He is my Provider! The time I’ve had just to meditate on His Word, talk to Him, and worship Him has been awesome. I had a much better day yesterday and today. Let’s see if I can recap my week.
Wednesday I was able to help out at the church, which I enjoy doing. Yes, I’m weird. I find joy in many monotonous tasks, such as alphabetizing anything, copying, stapling or in Wednesday’s case folding letters, stuffing envelopes, applying stamps and labels, and sealing the envelopes. Fascinating, huh? Well, I had fun.  I wrote my post Wednesday before prayer meeting. We had a special prayer time for our Believer’s Conference which begins Sunday. If you don’t hear much out of me over the next week, that is why. We are going to be doing DRIVING FORCE by Saddleback’s Craig Jutila with the kids. It will be fun!
Thursday I got to talk to my Momma and my bestest friend April. Andrew had his meeting and it went well. I started on some VBS stuff. I can’t wait!!! We are doing Serengeti Trek this year. My mind is already reeling…
Wednesday my pastor’s wife, Stella, asked me if I would like to go to Picasso To Go. It’s a paint your own pottery place. So today we went and I painted a picture frame and Stella painted a popcorn bowl. They came out so cute! I’m going to be so impatient waiting for them to be glazed and fired!!! Stella is absolutely precious and it was so great just to visit with her. Tonight I finished my notebook. If you have been reading MrsCatherine’s site, you know what I’m talking about. If you haven’t been to her site, you must check it out! Great stuff!!! Part of the reason I have not been around xanga much is that I am working on whipping our home into shape. I’m looking forward to using my notebook to help me get into a daily routine and I know starting with a clean house, will help me from being overwhelmed! Andrew offered to help me this weekend, so I will start using my notebook Sunday! Yay!
Here’s my notebook. I decided to call it my Home Blessing Book…
And I put Joshua 24:15b, just as a daily reminder
This is my daily schedule. I’m going to laminate these front pages, so they will not wear out from daily use.

I made these Grocery Lists over a year ago to help make grocery shopping easier. Once I have all the items I need to get divided up by category, it is easy to flip through my coupon box and make little notes on my list so I know what coupons I have, which has made shopping so much easier! I made cute little menu pages at the same time. What better place to put them, than in my handy dandy notebook?
I’m going to use the rest of the pocket dividers in the back of the binder to set up a bill organizer. I’m in the process of typing a check list in Excel to keep up with due dates, date mailed, check numbers, etc. I bought a bill organizer for $12 last year! All the supplies to make my notebook cost less than that organizer did. Crazy!!!
I hope that you have a super fun weekend!!!
Just a bit of fun...
Obviously this thing has never heard me speak.
