When one doesn't have time...

...for a real blog post, one (namely me) can always use a handy fill-in-the-blanks form. Right? Of course, right.

Because it's been so long since I last posted, I felt like this place could use a bit of action. But a glance at the list of things-still-to-be-done-tonight cast a slight damper on that idea, so this will have to suffice for now.

Date: Tuesday, November 29, 2011

Time: 8:45 p.m.

Thought/Quote/Verse/Idea for the day: "The man who has forgotten to be thankful has fallen asleep in life." -Robert Louis Stevenson

I got up at: 7:00 a.m.

I am listening to: Christmas music! :D 

I most recently ate: Leftover turkey from Thanksgiving.

I am currently working on: A whole conglomeration of things

Comfort food/beverage at the moment: Hm...not sure.

I am looking forward to: Christmas. Snow. Packages arriving in the next few weeks (possibly the best part of online shopping!). Several of the things happening this week.

I am reading: Choosing Gratitude by Nancy Leigh Demoss. And I'm still plugging my way through Broke by Glen Beck, but I'm very nearly finished with it.

I am memorizing: Still working my way through 1 Corinthians. Very slowly.

I am thinking: About many different things, as always.

Plans for the day: Bible study and errands this morning, and the rest of the day has been full of those random scattered tasks around the house.

In my hair: A loose messy bun.

Most recently wrote: Part of a letter.

I am thankful for: Hope.

I am wearing: A denim skirt, fuzzy socks, a teal t-shirt and a cozy white sweater

Latest gift listed in my notebook: The living, active, transforming Word of God

Christian self-help book I am currently reading: The aforementioned Choosing Gratitude.

My surroundings: Unless I get a laptop, the answer to this question pretty much doesn't change. Just saying...

I am craving: My big fuzzy blanket and a book. And my journal.

I should be: Writing a couple of letters, finishing cleaning my bedroom, taking a shower, etc.

Tomorrow I will: Hopefully get a lot done around the house in the morning, go to GNC in the afternoon, then to Truth Project in the evening.

Book I am contemplating reading next: Hm....not sure. One of my library books.

Random fact about myself: I am so stubborn...and frequently so dense. *frustrated sigh*

The weather is: Clear and cold. And dark.

Any library books at the moment: Just about always! :)

Movie(s) I watched within the week: None, unless the Packer game counts, which it doesn't.

Indignant about: Indignant? Me? :)

Random movie/book quote that's running through my head: Nothing at the moment, surprisingly.

Scratchy pen or smooth pen: Smooth.

Last thing I threw away: A napkin.

Last book I bought/received: I just bought a whole bunch of books for Christmas gifts.

I am wondering: Hm....many things.

Song stuck in my head: He is God, one of our new CEF songs.

Most recent crazy plan: Ha ha...I actually did have one the other day, but it can't be shared here. ;)

Under the clip: The clip has burst. I really need to sort through this mound of paperwork....

Random English word, compliments of the word-a-day on the dictionary app on my phone: Serry: to crowd closely together.

I learned today: That 'Serry' means to crowd closely together ;)

Picture-thought:

Because I just decorated my Grandma's Christmas tree...and I'm currently unable to upload pictures from my camera onto the computer (Grr!)

Well, that's all for now. Hopefully more soon! :) (And something a bit more substantial...:P) 

Dreams

"We all dream. It is our dreams that define our lives. It is our dreams that define the way we spend our time. A set-apart young woman dreams differently than the rest of her female contemporaries. Instead of dreaming dreams that bring her to center stage in society's spotlight, she begins to dream God's dreams for her life. And God's dreams cause her to seek her Prince above all else, prior to all else, and at the risk of all else. She becomes fantastically preoccupied with her gallant Jesus...To be great at anything demands great amounts of time. To be great at knowing our Prince is no different. It takes time--and lots of it. It demands that every last drop of our physical energy be focused on Him. He can't be conveniently fit into our lives; He must become what our lifestyles are built around. From the moment we wake up until the moment we go to sleep, He must become the center."  -Leslie Ludy, 'Authentic Beauty'

...that is how I want to dream.
