I am thinking... About how much Dr. Myles Munroe's sudden death affected me. I haven't listened to his teachings in almost 20 years, but the messages that I remember stuck with me. Knowing your purpose and not wasting your time here on earth was something that I was reminded of. Another was that a spirit without a body is illegal on the earth. The spirit realm works through people. I've got to position myself, "while it is yet night," and "a great while before day," if I want to allow the Ruach HaChodesh (Holy Spirit) to have full access of me so that I can be used by Him, and so that I can request His presence in the lives of my family, my worship community, and my nation. I had been getting up at 6:45 a.m. to pray, but Abba let me know that even that was not enough time. I now get up at 6:00 a.m.
I am thankful... I got to be a socialized homeschool mom and go on 2 play dates with my friends this week.
I am wearing... A velour warm up suit and a long-sleeved T. This is my favorite casual outfit. I've got to get more of these!
I am creating... I've finished a couple of more squares, the black ones that go around the border. Knitting club is this Friday. I'm going to show my two squares and the lady who sat next to me is going to show her entire new winter wardrobe. LOL
I am reading... I have read 19% of the Impeachment of Abraham Lincoln. I love how GoodReads tells you the percentage you've read. I'm sure no one is as excited by that as I am. LOL
I am learning... Some of my notes from recent study.

From the learning rooms... We've had some great successes and some steps backwards. Overall, I think our schedule is working well. We've had a lot of distractions, but defaulting back to our basic schedule when we are done.
Pondering these words... From Chuck Swindoll in a message called "Deepening our Roots with God": "If greed is the demon of money, if lust is the demon of sex, if pride is the demon of power, speed is the demon of depth."
Isn't that the truth? We can't rush through studying and expect to get an A. We can't rush into a relationship and expect to really know that person. We can't run on a hike and expect to absorb the beauty of the scenery around us. We can't rush through pray and find the peace and assurance to know that our prayers have been heard. We can't rush through a Bible study and expect the Word to stick to our soul.
