Day 28

It has been four weeks today!! I have almost made it a month. I have completed my 10 things for the day. I had just about everything done before dinner tonight. Doing 10 extra things a day is really easy now. The hardest part is actually writing a blog. There are days when I just sit and stare at the blank page, after writing and deleting several times I will finally post what I wrote.

I am still teaching myself Spanish. I have memorized two more words today. I am learning new things in my piano lessons book. I was having so much fun today I ended up playing for twenty five minutes before I realized I needed to go do something else. It is easy to get lost in music. As much as I love music I do not have the gift to sing. My mom tape recorded me singing Deck the Halls when I was in fourth grade and then she played it back. She thought it sounded wonderful but I was traumatized by what I heard.To this day I don't even like to leave my voice on an answering machine. I think God knew if he gave me that gift I would have a hard time not making it my idol. That would be all I wanted to do. He knows whats best.

I worked on my algebra today. I was very excited when I looked in the back after doing my lesson and saw that I got them right. I am still enjoying my book I am reading. I think I only have two chapters left. I am a little bummed I really enjoy reading it. You know when you watch a movie and you are really enjoying the story line and you don't want the movie to end . That is the way it is with me sometimes when I read a book I really enjoy. You want to hear more. That is one really cool thing about the bible it does not matter how many times you have read the same book God always continues to show you something new. He never stops teaching us.

I am still reading my devotionals too but I have been skipping around between devotional books there. I did more organizing today and at dinner time I had a candlelight dinner and served them restaurant style and garnished their plates and glasses. I gave myself another facial and you know upon close examination I think it is working . I think I have knocked a day off my age. I also created a tea I am going to try for breakfast. I am a little scared. I mixed dried hibiscus, dried passion fruit, loose leaf earl grey, dried orange peel granules and a little bit of that loose leaf  black tea that was brought to me from Egypt. It smells really good, but the taste is what is important.I had an enjoyable day. I look forward to my next ten things tomorrow :)

Because of the lord's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, The Lord is my portion ; therefore I will wait for him.The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him.   Lamentations 3:22-25
