This morning I went over to one of the ladies from church's houses to make two more coverings for myself. We adjusted the pleats in the back to get an even nicer fit, and I am so pleased with how they turned out.
This afternoon I have been busy reorganizing our family closet. Somehow it had become a bit of a mess! It looks much better now, and I think it will be easier to keep tidy.
I am exhausted this afternoon and I think I might sit down to read a bit in my new book. (A Virtuous Woman by Ruth Mast).

About Me
My Family
The inspiration behind everything that I do, my family is so precious to me!
Rick
Our Leader, Protecter, and Provider, my wonderful husband is the most amazing man I have ever met. He is a loving example to our boys of just what a husband should be.
Melly Elizabeth
Wife, Mommy and Homemaker...these are the labels that describe what I do. I couldn't imagine wanting to be anything other than these things. I love being here in my home, taking care of my family and creating a warm and comfortable place for my husband to come home to each day.
Jacob
Intellegent, charming, and witty, Jacob keeps life interesting around our house. Always full of questions and insight, he is never short of words! He relishes his role as "oldest brother" and loves to be my helper.
Joshua
The "Bear". Energetic, rambunctious, and full of all things "boy", Joshua is our little wild bear! He is also one of the sweetest people that I have ever met. Full of hugs and kisses, it is amazing to see the contrast between his rough and tumble ways and his gentle kindness.
Joseph
Joseph is such a joy! His smile lights up the room, and his playful expressions can't help but be endearing. He finds humor in nearly everything. He looks up to his older brothers and tries to keep up with them at every turn.
James
James is my adorable, precious, rambunctious little one! Always eager to be a helper, highly affectionate, and a perfectionist like his Mama, he's the sunshine of my day!
John David
Our newest little addition, John David is such a blessing! He already looks up to his brothers, and seems to be in a hurry to join in their fun. We love him so much, and thank God for sending this darling child into our lives!
I just wanted to comment about what you said. I do not know if you would go back to that post or not. Christians, that is who I had the hardest time from. Those who were not seemed curious, and nothing like the reaction of those we considered our sisters and brothers. But I believe the opposition can be used to practice what God says about loving our enemies. So very hard sometimes, but what we must do.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you have a couple more coverings. It is nice being about to have extras for when you need to clean them. One of your pictures showed the back. Very nice. :)
I'm very happy for you! You look "glowing"! I've been covering since Sept 08. I'm the only one at my church covering...walking through Walmart today, I saw a woman who was covered. I was so excited, I stopped her and talked to her. She was visiting from Ohio. Oh well, guess I still haven't met another covering woman in East Texas yet! Please tell us about the book you're reading. It sounds very good! Donna
ReplyDeleteI just purchased that book 'A Virtuous Woman' from Rod and Staff the other day...along with $75 of other Godly reading material. :) Should get it all today or Monday. Yippee!
ReplyDeleteDo you ever order anything from the GVS catalog? The ministers wife at my church gave me last years and I was sifting through oooing and ahhing over each page calculating what I wanted. :) Maybe I will get a few things when we get our tax return.
Hope you have a safe and blessed weekend!
Dawn
Donna...I am a covered woman in Texas too!!!
ReplyDeleteExcept I live in the Dallas - Ft. Worth area, not the East. :-(
Oh I love it when I see another covered sister in WalMart or Target! It's such a blessing!
Dawn,
ReplyDeleteOh how wonderful! Enjoy all of your new reading material :)!
I have not ordered from GVS's catalog, but I have bought from their store in Versailles, MO. We were actually just there yesterday. They have so many of the little necessaries we need. I really like their store and will likely be ordering from their catalog in the near future.
Blessings,
Melly Elizabeth
