To everything there is a season.....

For God is not a God of disorder but of peace. 1 Cor. 14:33
Well it's winter, and it's usually when I delve into deeper cleaning and organizing! There's always a "buzz" about being healthy, being fit and getting organized so it is an encouragement to get moving on stuff! But it's the stuff I DISLIKE!! HA
Books! it's not at all that I dislike books, I LOVE books and I love reading......it's finding as much time to read as I would like! and I love looking through cookbooks too! This pile on my bedroom desk are some I got for Christmas....I think I got six new books to read and 2 cook book and a cute book from my mom called Dates On a Dime, sounds interesting! I also got and oldie but a goodie called Fresh Wind Fresh Fire by Jim Cymballa...I'm looking forward to reading it over the Winter to gain a Fresh Fire for God! I tend to read in spurts, depends if I'm in the mood for a good romance, or something new on parenting (although I think I know all there is to know there...it's just putting it into practice that's the problem!) ha or perusing a good cook book for new recipes to try!!
PICTURES....the are my biggest weakness.....I do NOT scrapbook. I tried it once and could not bare to hear my friends say "I'm only behind 2 years now in my scrapbook!" If I did scrapbook I'd be a decade behind!! ha So I do buy photo albums in doubles usually with the easy slide in sleeves with little side margins to record the date or something about it....although I am years behind in doing THAT! so here on this book shelf are 4 packages of developed photos (and let's just say that's a trip in itself to go unload 400+ photos at the store....I'm always on the watch for .10 cent deals then) and now......the camera shows 477 pictures in it now.....I'm always able to condense that by 1/4 since I take alot of food or my kids are playing around with the camera....Gotta love digital! ERASE! So I'll go out in this next few weeks hopefully and get what's in the camera out and pick up several photo albums.....hey at least that way I have matching albums for that year! ha


And last but NOT the least...(I wish) the packing away of CHRISTMAS!! iyiyi this year I said there's too many boxes.....You know how it goes each year you don't put something out or you buy something new and you don't take great care in putting it away orderly! well this is the year I'm going to condense, pitch and reorganize this "stuff!" I'm on track with this project since it's all just come down but when I go into the storage room and see this pile I say "OH I think I'll do some laundry first or vacuum upstairs.......SOUP that sounds good today, I'll make soup!" ha Luckily Mike helps me on this job so we should have this one wrapped up soon.......
So.....Winter has many things for me to do, but I feel like my kids "I'm bored!" OR" There's nothing to do!" OH REALLY? Go read your January post again girl! So.....I'll work on it slow but sure.....I'll enjoy reading the most but I don't' think I take time during the day to read as often because I think I'll get sleepy! haha
Hope this Winter finds you all well......With lots to do and MOTIVATION TO DO IT! haha
