Daybook - New Year, New Tears

Outside My Window - it's a Monday in Winter, so it goes to follow that it's cloudy and cold. Will next week's daybook be sunny? A girl can dream. I don't mind it so much if I feel well but on a day like today when I'm a bit under the weather and can't go for a walk it is not helpful.

I'm Wearing - wool blend pants, black cardigan and a hole-y shirt under. Didn't realize the holes until I took off my cardigan so the remedy was just put it back on lol. I love my Loft tees, hole-y or not. A grey knit cap because it's cold in Ohio.

I'm Listening To - the steady hum of our old desktop computer. It's probably on its last leg but with all our laptops, phones, and tablets I don't foresee replacing it.

I'm Reading - the Bible In A Year. So technically speaking it's a podcast but I do read along with the chapters for the day. It's packed and informative and I'm learning new things and re-learning things that I've forgotten. 

I'm Pondering - that passage on Genesis 3:21, The LORD God made for the man and his wife garments of skin, with which he clothed them. Not gonna lie, I ugly cried A LOT on this chapter having recognized myself in some of the more intricate drama of this chapter. The Father's love replacing the fig leaves with animal skin (an animal, of whom Adam and Eve was originally stewards of, was sacrificed) before banishing them from the garden. There's just so many layers in this deep chapter that pierced my heart with the gravity not just of sin but of God's love. To ponder both, in my case, was to shed so many tears.

What's Cooking - spaghetti for dinner because it's National Spaghetti Day!

The Week Ahead - preparing to move our oldest in to college campus after a semester of virtual studies. Will I cry over that too? Probably!

Homeschool Is Cool - we bought the boys new story books as Christmas gifts so we are excited to crack those open. We didn't go back to school today as I haven't been feeling well. We should be good to go tomorrow.

Mom Treat - a dark roast Tim Horton's coffee. Because it's Monday and Mondays need a strong jolt of caffeine.

Prayers - I feel like covid is closing in on us with so many we personally know who have tested positive, most symptomatic. So we are praying for the end of this pandemic, friends who have asked for intercessory prayers, and of course, to a better year ahead.

Life Snaps-
