Welcome to my weekly Daybook post here at The Littlest Way. This is a post 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 and cleaning and learning. These are the small moments that make up my blessed daily life and I want to remember them. I would love to read your Daybook, just leave it in the comments section below. You can use my prompts or make up your own to include items important to you; mine change depending on season and circumstance.

Praying…
For Chris. For an unforeseen situation that could change every.thing. Smooth transitions no matter what. Fortitude, patience, empathy, understanding, knowledge.
Pondering…
How things can change in an instant.
Listening to…
Parts of this are being written Sunday evening…Luke is mowing. Chris and the older girls are borrowing a dryer since ours is acting funny. They are moving it in the laundry room.
Reading…
My large print Bible
Sirach Bible Study and Journal
Devotion to the Sorrowful Mother
Bible Journaling…
Still using my Travelers Notebook for Bible Journaling and loving it! It’s so portable I wrote my daily prayers in it and took it to Mass with me. Someone emailed asking specifically what I’m using.
Websters Pages Travelers Notebook (Walnut)
I love the way this feels and smells, lol! I like how protected my notebooks are when I toss it in my purse.
Color Crush Travelers Notebook Notepads
These notebooks are lined, grid and dotted. They are pretty, have nice thick pages and fit neatly into my Travelers Notebook.
Illustrated Faith Embellishments–stamps, stickers, die cuts, pretty paperclips, washi, etc
Around the House…
Shower still demolished, water and ice dispenser still not working on the fridge, borrowing a dryer, hot water heater went out to the bathrooms…
In the Kitchen…
This past week I made Chris a Singing Canary Shot from the Trim Healthy Mama cookbook. It’s supposed to help with stress, fatigue and worn out Adrenal glands–I don’t know about his Adrenal glands, but he needs a pick me up and I’m hoping this does it.
Our Domestic Church…
Tomorrow is a Holy Day of Obligation–the Feast of All Saints. And Wednesday is the Feast of All Souls. Let’s pray for each other’s departed family family members on Wednesday. Leave a comment below asking for prayers. You can just say “My departed family members.” We don’t need every name–God knows who they are.

The Littlest Way
My verses about patience posting have been sporadic for the month of October…Life…I’ve also been thinking about expanding The Littlest Way some. These topics I touch on in my Daybook posts–they’re my life too, not just reading the Bible and praying which are the frequent subjects here. “How to Cook Beans in a Roaster” is one of my top searched for posts along with “Big Family Breakfast.” I’m also a writer/blogger/goal setter. I’m a homeschooler and homemaker. I take pictures and have taught myself or taken classes on blogging as a business and ministry. These are all topics I would love to write more about.
Before the chickens and dog got them.

Praying for your intentions. The test is always hard. We know how it will end: God’s will. By it’s very nature, the struggle feels like it will never end. I am speaking from experience, as I’m sure everyone has been through something in life that has felt like it would never be over. We just have to trust, believe and wait.

I keep coming back to this Kellie. Thank you.
