Just for today...Monday, January 20
Outside my window...a different view than last time we stayed in Honiara. This time, our SITAG house is in the valley, so we've traded our ocean view for a lush, leafy vista.
On my bookshelf..."The Sacred Romance: Drawing Closer to the Heart of God" by Brent Curtis and John Eldredge
From the learning rooms...starting back to school today after a week off for moving.
Hearing...Mendelssohn's "Elijah". How Aaron and I missed this gem, I don't know. The last few chords at the end of the overture build and build until they climax with the chorus's entrance, "Help, Lord!" We are so hooked.
A heart full of thankfulness...for a little bit of sunshine poking through today. The hot water heaters are solar powered, so a little bit of sun means a little bit of warm water for a shower tonight!
Crafting in the kitchen...I'm loving being a full-time homemaker again. I made cottage cheese this afternoon and chopped veggies to my heart's content. We're having spaghetti pie tonight, and the rest of the cottage cheese will go into a dilly cheese spread to eat with crackers for lunch tomorrow.

One of my favorite things...love, love, LOVE these thermoses my mom had made for us for Christmas. One heart is on top of our hometown in Arkansas, the other heart is on top of our village in the Solomon Islands, and a dotted line connects the hearts.

A few plans for the rest of the week...continuing to settle in, welcoming two more village teams back to Honiara (yay!), meetings for Aaron, just reminding ourselves of what life looks like in Honiara

Beautiful view, cute thermos and even cuter girlie. Glad for the sunshine and for you being able to busy nesting at home.
Aren't those mugs awesome?!? We aren't going to risk washing ours, so they're going to be "stuff" holders in our new kitchen Mom just helped us redo (they match!). Thanks for sharing your day with us; it's always a delight to know how you're doing.
Love,
Liss
Oh, Elijah! We did some selections from it last spring - my favorite is Lift Thine Eyes :D

And don't miss He Watching Over Israel, which seems to me like a beautiful lullaby. "He slumbers not, nor sleeps" may seem ironic, but I can rest in His vigilance.
