Day 58...

These things say a lot about me. I am, to say the least, obsessed with lists. I cannot function without one. I have a whole folder filled with lists. This one is just my daily list which I form from all of my other lists each day...tee hee! It helps me from feeling too overwhelmed with all that "needs" to be done by narrowing down to those things that "need" to be done just today. I have a terrible memory(maybe because I'm dependent upon my lists).
I also must do a Sudoku every night to fall asleep. I should have put my Journey magazine in this pic too because I do a Journey devotional (see Lifeway.com magazine subscriptions)before I start the Sudoku. It takes me 30 minutes to 1 hour to fall asleep and if Matt talks to me in the process you can just tack on another 10 minutes or so. I know...totally weird! The last object is my bible. I love my bible. In the last 3 years or so it has come alive for me! I realize what a gift God has given us in His word!! He has given us a guide and in every situation I encounter I can find direction by going to His word. It is such a comfort to know I don't have to guess about how God wants me to live my life. I might not always understand everything in His word but I know that my thoughts are not His thoughts and I know that when I live in obedience to Him, I experience a peace and joy that surpasses all understanding.

Hello fellow list-maker! How funny, I make lists all the time too and the funny thing is that my kids have started copying me - I find lists all the time that my 8 yr old daughter makes about cleaning her room or what to do on Saturday or places she likes to go. One day I was at the park with my then 3 yr old son and I said to him why don't you go down the slide, and he said, "Mum, that is NOT on the list for today!"

Beautiful journaling about the Bible. I need to open mine more often, I admit.
I pea every night before going to bed... hehehe.
Thanks for the insight into YOU.

Nice shot. I just can't figure out Soduku. I guess I'm not as smart as I thought LOL.
