When you are not feeling the greatest, you're supposed to eat chicken noodle soup and broth, nap when you can, take it "easy", take your medicine, and simply rest. (Yes, I did mention 3 forms of sleeping/resting because it's my favorite...)
Despite not feeling well this week, I have gotten a lot accomplished, which is pretty crazy considering most of the time, I was "resting". I couldn't stay "busy" long because my body just needed to quit moving so much. So I had to invest my time this week into "still" activities. Ugh...I think that was harder than actually being sick. (I have a hard time just sitting doing "nothing", which is what all these activities were).
ENJOY THIS PICTURE SHOW OF MY "Nothing" accomplishments.
O-kay, so Monday, I revisited a promise that God gave me after my husband and I separated 1 1/2 years ago.
1 Chronicles 17:7-14. God gave me a few things to write down as I claimed it again, which I am still trying to figure out some:
- My house is established.
- Ezekiel
- My kids are in God's hands.
- Sampson- Guard your weaknesses. Your greatest strength can also be your greatest weakness!
- Holy heart, pure & holy
- I am "clean"
- Sing, sing, sing to the Lord.
- Burnt offerings
- Attitude of thanksgiving
- filter (I'm stumped on this one)
- Keep your eyes open
- Expect miracles
On Tuesday,
I began painting my
kitchen cupboards to
replace my post-it notes:)

On Wednesday, I started sewing.
I haven't done that for awhile...
Then I sewed new pillowcases
that I have been meaning
to make for a couple months:)
...and finally finished
a banner I have been
working on for months!
On Thursday, I picked up
a book I started to read
2 weeks ago. The funny
thing is that this book
is not about the kid's
behaviors, it's about
the parent changing the
way he/she corrects:)
So, for being sick, I actually got more done around here this week than normal. Pretty impressive for a girl who doesn't like to "sit" and be "still"...
Hopefully Monday, I will be back to my regular blogging...

HI,
I love the cupboards too. And I am going to read the Chronicles passage because I don't think I ever have. But my big question is about the book. I have always shied away from it, even though I see it everywhere (is that a clue?). Maybe you could post a review and hit the highlights. In your spare resting time that is!
Take care, glad to hear you can still get some stuff done.
Love ya!

Wow! You're more productive when you're sick then I am when I'm well. LOL!
Hope you're feeling better!
Hope you are feeling better soon!! I'm guessing that you needed a little slow down time. Very impressed!
Wow... that is a great week of work.
Hope you are feeling better!
Sweet Blessings,
