Tuesday Chatter, VOTD

I skipped posting my to do list yesterday, though I don't feel like I got a lot done. I have found our couch, though it keeps trying to run away under toys and such. We're working on that ;o) So all of those clothes are put away, hung up, etc ... I believe, now watch I'll find another load tucked away somewhere, but I believe that the only dirty clothes I have, are in the washing machine. I'm working on Jackson's bedclothes now. Oh, and I've made the bed- yay - that's an effort thing for me ;o)

The rest of today I need to:

* finish Jackson's bedclothes (comforters, sheets, pillow cases ...)
* Put away the clean dishes and wash what's in the sink (not much)
* Wash the dirty dishes after dinner (as so to not have as much in the morning)
* Straighten the livingroom, try to get rid of some folding chairs that were left from the week of the baby's funeral that have become "catch all's". This means putting everything piled up on them away, too.
* Continue decluttering "my corner" of our bedroom. It has become a "catch all" for winter clothes. I'm trying to get all the winter clothes in one spot, soooo ....
* Find recipes for marinating raw green beans.
* Find the best way to freeze green beans.
* Find a good way to store homemade pickles.
* Write out all of the groceries I have to work on my grocery exile.
* Fill out the letter of intent to the state to homeschool the kids.
* Figure out how we are going to buy our curriculums, and how much longer I have before I need to order them- what my deadline is.

I think that's all the pressure I'll put on myself today ;o)

I've decided to wrote the devotionals on a separate blog, which was my intention anyway to have a separate devotional blog. I'll let you know when its ready for launch. I think I am going to pace myself and schedule them to post every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday then reevaluate in the future if changes are needed. Just letting you know where the devotionals had gotten to ;o)

BUT! I wanted to leave you with these verses that really struck me in my reading this morning as to how holy God really is:

Amos 8:8-12
8Shall not the land tremble for this, and every one mourn that dwelleth therein? and it shall rise up wholly as a flood; and it shall be cast out and drowned, as by the flood of Egypt.

9And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord GOD, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day:

10And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will bring up sackcloth upon all loins, and baldness upon every head; and I will make it as the mourning of an only son, and the end thereof as a bitter day.

11Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:

12And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find it.

Amos 9:
8 Behold, the eyes of the Lord GOD are upon the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the face of the earth; saving that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob, saith the LORD.

10 All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, which say, The evil shall not overtake nor prevent us.

14 And I will bring again the captivity of my people of Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof; they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them.

15 And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them, saith the LORD thy God.

Isn't that amazing?
