On My Mind

Thank you to all who responded to a previous of mine.  It was good to know I'm not alone.

So what is on my mind today? Well, there is so much I think it will make your heads spin.  So I will list a few and not in any particular order:

1.Making crocheted mittens
2. Two women's Bible studies  at church
3. Learning to Quilt
4.Wednesday night Bible study with hubby at church
5. Sundays
6. My washer pees on the floor
7. Why doesn't God answer my prayer
8.  Why is Blogger making changes
9. Is your head spinning yet?

1.So let's start with the mittens. I had never made mittens and this is a challenging project. The thumb is the hardest for me to figure out.
 I currently have mittens without thumbs so I'm going to enlist the help of seasoned crocheters.

2. I'm involved with two women's Bible studies at church. One  study is on the book of Revelation  and the other we are on the Sermon on the Mount. I don't normally do women's Bible studies but I realized that I really don't know many of the ladies so I decided to give it a shot. I love my Sermon on the Mount group. Most of the ladies in the group are what I remember in the black church as the "mothers" of the church. These sweet ladies are in their 80s and 90s and are as sweet as can be.

3. I'm trying to decide if I really like quilting.  I'm going crazy over a quilt top I started weeks ago.

4.I really like going to the Wednesday night study and I have no plans to give it up.

5.Sundays have been a challenge for me. We go to two services because our daughter has worship practice at 8am.
We have three services. The first service  is hymns ( my absolute favorite) and the next two are contemporary with the third a little louder.
That being said there are times that I just don't want to sing and either I lipsync or I just stop singing altogether if the lyrics start to get on my nerves.  It's not a good place to be but I have my reasons. As a matter of fact, I had typed a whole explanation as to why I do this but I deleted it. In this morning's devotion the author had shared  similar experiences of not having her heart fully focused on the Lord's Day.  Singing to the Lord should be done joyfully and with reverence.  This is something I need to work on.

6. My washer acts like it hasn't been potty trained and pees on the floor.  I cleared the drain hose and cleaned the  lint filter ( yes washers have lint filters) per instructions in  the manual. It still leaks even after I gave it a good scolding!

7. I still wonder why God hasn't given me a clear answer to a specific prayer. It would seem to me, if He answered in my favor, it would work out to my advantage. Okay actually God knows better than I what's good for me.

8. Blogger is planning on making changes in the next few weeks and I don't like change! Blogger is fine the way it is.

9. Grab your head on both sides and it will stop spinning. I promise!
