A Week Begins
Jan 4th, 2009 by Sylvia
What a night I had last night. I laid down and turned on my mp3 player and began praying. Soon I was just a mess there before the Lord, but it was good to praise Him and talk to Him. I still don’t know much about a decision I know I have to make. But I guess there is no hurry. I just want to be open to God’s leading and direction. He is going to have to change me though, I’m not ready for what I think is coming. Maybe I am ready and He will show me that I am… don’t know.
Monday school starts again. I am sort of looking forward to it because we’re starting our Latin curriculum. We may also begin our yearly Prairie Primer session. My 4th grader uses it from January til June.
We got the new wood floor down in the kitchen and living room and it looks really nice. I will try to get pictures this week for you. I also got some new curtains; they’re red and I realllllly like them.
Mark and David worked for about 3 days to get it all done. I think it would have gone even faster if they had not had to make house repairs and changes along the way. We closed in a door, changed transition pieces, put in new thresholds, etc.
The color of the floor is Antique Cherry. Its not a dark color, sort of light reddish orange. It matches the bookshelves perfectly.
On the topic of floors, my son pulled up the carpet at my mil’s house this week and found gorgeous poplar planks that had been stained and then covered with rugs or carpet since ….. you’re not going to believe this………… about 1840. Yes, the house is old. My daughter found a little sail boat and clouds carved into one of the planks. That was so cool!
