Monday Meanderings - Sept 1

Bible Study... just finished Interrupted by Jen Hatmaker (another life changer, sheesh!), The Excellent Wife by Martha Peace

Memory Verse...  1 Corinthians 13:4-8

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails." 

Husband Encouragement...

♥ Provide lunch stuff for this week's work schedule

♥ Organize and tidy the house. 

Train Them Up...

* Homework routine--math and spelling each night, without interruption-ha!

* Evening reading time--loving what we're reading right now and the kids are really into it. (a biography about missionary Amy Carmichael) 

* Hannah--we're dealing with brattyness right now (basically ungrateful fits because something isn't good enough.)

* Eli--quality time and conversation with him. 

* Carter--obedience and respecting other people's space, being nice to E & H's babydolls--for some reason he likes to pound them and it doesn't seem right. 

Personal Goals...

* starting workout routine! 

* schedule times to help in the kids' classrooms at school

2. Last week was busy and nerve wracking planning and preparing for a church event. I'm thankful this week is much more relaxed!

3. God working in me. And good friends that understand and listen to my processing.
