Welcome to My Daybook Online Journal. A weekly post here at The Littlest Way where I gather all the ordinary things that happen or are happening in my day to day. Things like what I’m reading or listening to, eating, cleaning, and learning. These are the small moments that make up my blessed daily life and I want to remember them. My prompts may change depending on season and circumstance.

Praying…
I’m praying for and through some hard situations. I’m praying for perseverance in my writing. Although there are a couple of things going on that are not related, they are combining to stunt my writing…or rather try to shut it down. The opposition is real friends. I’m also praying like Solomon.
Pondering…
Do not confuse God convicting you with me offending you. They are two, totally separate things!
Listening to…
I’m making a November Praise playlist in Spotify and would love your suggestions! Hit me with your favorite Praise and Worship songs so I can add them. If you’d like, I will share my November playlist with you once it’s complete–probably should have started it sooner.

Here are some of my notes I took while reading the Bible in the YouVersion app. If you have the app downloaded, friend me! We can share notes, highlights, and reading plans over there.

Around the House…
We rearranged the living room furniture so that two of our chairs are right in front of the fireplace…so cozy!
In the Kitchen…
We finally have some venison for the freezer! We made the best Venison Stew the other night–actually we’ve made it twice! It has bacon…enough said.
I know we’ve talked about this before, but Aldis friends, it saves me so much money when I grocery shop there! Tell me your favorite things you buy at Aldis. Right now I’m loving their Goat cheese log with cranberries on it. Yummy!

Self Care
Friends, I started working out June 1st of this year and am still going strong, 5 days a week with 2 rest days. I’m not sure if I’ve lost any weight but my body is definitely reshaping, people are noticing, I’m stronger and more confident. There are many days I don’t want to work out but I have never regretted working out.
You don’t need a gym membership or equipment friends, start with Fitness Blenders videos on YouTube. You don’t need to start with a workout, start with just stretching. Just start.
Also and finally, our Online Bible Study Community is studying “Hope” for the month of November and I think I might use some of my Essential Rewards points to buy the essential oil “Hope.” Of course I’m stocking up on Thieves for the Winter and I’m still drinking NingXia every single day!
(I used to purchase my essential oils from Amazon or Edens Garden instead of a distributor. You can read my thoughts on why here, “Where I’m From…” I’ve since decided I don’t have the time or resources to properly educate myself on using the oils to their fullest potential. That’s why I signed up with Young Living under a former Family Practice Physician.)
The Littlest Way
Did you read the part above about struggling with my writing? There’s a project I need to start working on but the opposition that is confusing me, distracting me, and just plain throwing down obstacles in front of me is crazy! Prayers please.
