My continuing education…so to speak

February 7, 2013

“No one can get an education, for of necessity education is a continuing process.”

-Louis L’Amour

I love to read!

We have books in almost every room in our home, and I am usually reading at least three books at any given time. I have always loved to read. I was the one who would get in trouble for reading past my bedtime with a flashlight. The flashlight would be taken away, but that didn’t stop my. I would sit by window and dream of living with Laura Ingalls out on the prairie…

A few years ago, I was reading a blog post of a friend of mine where she talked about a commonplace book. In this particular blog post, Cheryl talks about the importance of investing in ourselves as wives and moms to be reading good books to encourage us to continue in this path we have chosen to follow.

I have now filled up two composition journals with quotes and Bible verses that have spoken to me over these past few years. I was just thinking today what a gift these will be for my daughter when she is old enough to become a wife and mother.

Have you read any good books lately?

First day of advent, a season to focus on Him. Our society puts so much focus on wants and unrealistic expectations during this time of year. Yes, I have been guilty of this in the past, and probably still do at times. But I am choosing to make time
Recently finished another sweet little quilt. Pieced this one together with my sewing machine, but then I hand quilted this one. Not sure what price I would ask for to sell it, but I would be willing to take a donation for our upcoming Guatemala trip
Lots of Guatemala VBS prep happening! Hoping to teach the kids how to sing Jesus Loves Me in English ❤️
The weather has definitely cooled down and it is a bit more of a challenge to get my sourdough dough to rise, but I have been using my oven to create a warm environment for my dough to rise 😊 so happy when I woke up this morning to see how well the
Not that I ‘needed’ any more books in my ‘waiting to be read’ pile, but I just knew I would want to have these on hand to read very soon 📚 after all, my goal was to read 35 books this year, and so far, I have finished 46 book
Thankful #veteransday ❤️🇺🇸❤️
After being gone what feels like half of October, it feels good to be home, making homemade bread ❤️
