Currently listening: Indelible Grace; Spotify list Classical Movie Soundtracks; Glorious in the Mundane Podcast with Christy Nockles; VeggieTales on the car ride to school

Currently creating: “Christmas in a box” care package for my college kids; crocheting throw blankets; this never ending website

Currently making: Curried Acorn Squash soup with naan; challah is my current baking recipe of choice

Currently thinking: Must tackle Christmas shopping; order Christmas cards NOW since pictures were taken last weekend; this Christmas will be extra special for my two daughters who both have babies (one new born, one in the oven still).

Current Spiritual lessons: Am I obedient to God like Abram was when God doesn’t hand me the road-map and give me all the directions first?; Pondering Isaiah 30:15 “This is what the Sovereign LORD, the Holy One of Israel, says: In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength, but you would have none of it.” I need to be mindful of when I’m to be quiet and I need to embrace rest and weekly sabbath as part of my salvation, rather than rushing past it.
