Reading with Katie (Day 5)

So, today was a very busy day.  We got a little Bible reading in this morning.

I started my morning with Psalms 128 and 129

Then I read with the kids Proverbs 3 and 4.

We recited Proverbs 1:7

Then we read and discussed 1 John 2:18-3:9

Then we got busy for the day.  We started a big project yesterday.  The project was a small surprise for Lydia.  But a big job.  Lydia recently bought a bunch of studio equipment and software to record her music.  So, we wanted to make her a special studio.  There was a perfect place in our house for recording.  The only problem was it was our family clothes closet.  That means this little room/den was full of shelves and clothes.  Everyone in our house keeps their clothes in this same closet.  19 people have a lot of clothes to keep track off.  So, to make this new studio for Lydia would require that all those clothes find a new place to be kept.  So, Lydia left to go to the Elliott’s house for the day at 8:45 am.  The rest of us went into work mode.  We emptied out every closet and bedroom on the second floor.  We actually prepared for this process starting yesterday.  Yesterday, we emptied and organized all the closets on the main floor, and then we also cleaned and organized every space in the basement.  We knew for this to work we would need more closet/storage space in the basement and main floor.

So, this morning we began the process of redoing the whole upstairs.  I forgot to take before pictures.  But here are a few pictures of the process and the finished studio.

So, we got a lot of work done today, and only read a little in our Bible.  But we were able to bless a sister.  Oh, and during this big project i had to take little Anna, age 5, to have her eyes checked.  On the way home she sang to me as I drove in the snow.  She sang , “I got the peace that passes understanding down in my heart, down in my heart, down in my heart to slave.  And I’m so happy so very happy.  I got the love of Jesus in my heart.”  She sang and sang, and I never told her that it was suppose to be, “in my heart to stay.”  Cause it was just to precious listening to her way.

Happy reading, and God bless.
