Goal Planning Monday ~ Flea Market

Focus on giants - you stumble.

Focus on God - your giants stumble.
     (from Facing Your Giants by Max Lucado, pg 21)

I had a GREAT week. I really enjoyed my time with God, almost every morning. It is a lot easier to focus on God and not on my giants when I spend quality/quantity time with God each day.

I got a lot of reading done and enjoyed every minute of it. That puts me only one book behind in my reading for the year and I know I can catch up this month, and maybe even get ahead.

I got my cake done!! and instead of eating a few pieces and putting the rest in the freezer like I usually do, so I can eat it little by little, I shared it with the family. They love sweet things and we don't get many treats these days.

By the way...

Happy Labor Day

We are not taking off today, we are doing school. My older son has to work, and we have NO plans, so I figured we might as well.

My dd Rachel is struggling with poison sumac. It is all over her left foot. Pain and itching, sleepless nights, swollen lower leg, foot, and toes. She has been unable to do anything but sit all week. So I had to do more than usual. I was able to keep up with the pots and dishes and cooked a few extra meals. Boy do I miss her helping out. She is doing a little better but still off her feet. So this coming week will be just as busy.

No, I take it back, it will be more busy, because we are going to sell some things in a Flea Market on Saturday and we have a lot to do to be ready. It costs $15 for 3 parking spaces, one space for the car and 2 for our stuff. If hubby can figure a way to keep the lights from being on with the hatch open, we can sell some stuff from the back of the van. I hope we sell a lot, enough to pay for our space and a bunch extra would be great. I am selling some of my Star Wars collectables and some Beanie Buddies and regular size beanies. We will be selling some books the girls don't want to keep.

Participants... It is not a requirement to comment on each others blogs but it would be nice to encourage each other. Please try and come back and check who else links up and go comment on their blog post. And comment on mine as well, we ALL could use some building up and community.
