I’m participating in my Month in Numbers with Julie. February… the shortest month that lasts the longest… now done and March is roaring in with giving us MORE snow. I’m not sure why February numbers have been hard to come by this time around.
1 – book finished! Something More by Catherine Marshall… very vintage, (c) 1974, but the teachings are good. Each chapter was a pile of truth and a whole book in itself. I have several good things from the book tucked in my pocket.
2 – books started AND finished… in one little month!! :) I pulled out Ann Kiemel Anderson‘s book, First Love, and enjoyed reading that again. I think I have nearly all of Ann’s books and this was good to reread. After reading it, I searched to find her current information and found she was struggling with new diagnosis and as the month went on they found it was cancer. I picked up her book, Seduced by Success and read that one next. Once again, good. New points hit me this time through and old points were still good from my original read. (this book I had marked the first time through) And then Ann left life here and saw Jesus face-to-face on March 1. Ow. I’ve learned a lot from her books in the last 35+ years of having them. I’m sorry to think she is gone from her earthly family now and so suddenly.
11- hours or more of painting trim; baseboards, doors trim, closet trim, window trim, window itty-bitty bits, nearly endless!
Really the room re-do will get a post of its own in the future. I’m so thankful with how well it has gone and my super-good helper!!
12 – scallops were given binding!
This is my favorite… I have my tree skirt done and bound and labeled! I hate to put it away until Christmas so it is on the bed in the extra room where there is no heat and we keep the door closed. Is this different from being in a box labeled “Christmas”? A separate post on the tree skirt is coming as well.
Hopefully, I can count better in March! :)
Ah, your blog brought back a good book memory from The 80s. I have Ann Kiemels, “I’m running to win” – which influenced and challenged me back then. She was, feet on the ground, loving others as Christ. I’ll look for her other books!
Yes, her life and writing showed her ease and simple way of being Jesus with skin on to others. Thanks, B!
Hi again Jules, nice to have your company.
How coincidental for you to delve back into the author at that particular time – must have been something drawing you to her.
That looks like a very useful cupboard space in your room – and it’s all looking very bright and just perfect for a fresh start in spring. [With that lovely Christmas tree skirt waiting patiently for its star turn later in the year!]
Thanks for joining me – I’ve popped you on the board alongside the others now: http://www.pinterest.com/notesonpaper/my-month-in-numbers/
Happy March to you + yours Jules.
Julie :-)
Thank you, Julie, for finding me even though I posted later in the month. :)
