Outside my window... hot, HOT, H O T, oh so HHHOOOOTTTTTT

I am thinking... that I should be balancing the checkbook or working on a cake right now instead of doing this. :)

I am thankful for... prayer. I love being able to talk to the Lord. I love listening to Him. I LOVE that friends can PRAY for me. I LOVE to pray for friends.

From the learning rooms... everything I need for the 2010-2011 school year is on the hutch in the kitchen. The only thing I need is my planner from United Art & Education.

From the kitchen... Cheese stuffed meatloaf tonight.

I am wearing... black jogging capris (with red/white stripes down the side) and a white v-neck tee that Chase got blood on today when he busted his lip. :(

I am creating... a pink poodle, mickey mouse, minnie mouse, & various wording made from royal icing for cakes in the next 10 days.

I am going... to Alexandria Baptist Church on Sunday to hear Mike preach.

I am reading... don't think I read much this past week.

I am hoping... that we can find a product that will get rid of all of the ants in our basement. After a few days of relief I think I ended up killing about 50 earlier today. UGH!

I am hearing... someone stomping upstairs and a couple kids arguing.

Around the house... COOL. Yesterday it was so hot. I waited too long to turn the air on and then it was too late. Today it's a cool 77 degrees in here.

One of my favorite things.. . green beans, onions, & bacon. YUM!

Praying for... Lindsay & fam in FL, self control, Kendra & Eric,

A Lyric or Two...
Next Step- Melissa Greene
(video after the lyrics)

Have you ever been too weak,

Too weak to stand, too weak to even try and understand,

Every tear every pain inside.

Have you ever been knocked down,

Broken & tired, slipping away, losing the fire,

Stuck in your life, can’t ever seem to move on

You don’t have to be the one who see the way this all will end

CHORUS

All you got to do is take the next step, come on come on, and take the next step

When your losing the fight and the finish line’s too far away

All you got to do is take the next step just get back up and take the next step

Deep in your soul there’s a strength just to face one more day

Just take the next step

Have you ever been held, held by a peace, a peace that you can’t ever explain

A calm in the ache, joy that you feel inside

Have you ever been carried, lifted by arms standing you up, up off the ground letting you know that your never walking alone

You don’t have to be the one who sees the way this all will end

You can’t control the future and yesterday is gone, but the God who wrote your story is the God who moves you on.

A verse to share: (God's Word is POWERFUL!!!) When you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet. Proverbs 3:24 (NIV) You can go to bed without fear; you will lie down and sleep soundly. Proverbs 3:24 (NLT)

A few plans for the rest of the week: Pink poodle birthday cake & cupcakes, hanging out at Grandpa Brown's, Niece Autumn's b-day bonfire, Mike preaching at Alexandria Baptist Church

Here is picture for thought I am sharing... Mom Murphy holding cousins Ryleigh & Chase (20 days apart in age)

Come on now... you know you want to do this too!!!
