'that Shunammite'

Whenever I read Prov. 31, I feel inadequate. The list of the perfect woman is exhausting and impossible. My Bible has a footnote listing women of the Bible who were noteworthy like Miriam, Deborah, Ruth, Huldah, Hannah, Esther, that Shunammite. (That's what Elijah calls her!). The story is in II Kings 4. Read it for yourself. There are many more women who are worthy of mention, living their lives as devotedly to God as they could. Wholehearted I would say. That's all I can do. ...'a woman who reverently and worshipfully fears the Lord, she shall be praised.' last verse.
That's what I'll try to remember for today.

I have lots to do again...Lord help me do what's important in Your eyes.
It's barely light outside or seems barely. I'll probably be surprised at what time it is when I go into the kitchen. Chow.

What do you do when your hubby can't keep a secret? It's suppose to be me that can't hold it in. He let the cat out of the bag when we had agreed to not say anything at all. And now it isn't even true any more! Those few who were told will start to think we are a couple of kooks. Maybe they think that already. I think I'll have to gag him or something.
By now I may have to say. But I won't. I just want to know how to get him to be quiet.
On another topic...I had class today. I asked one of the girls, who is able to take notes, listen and tex message at the same time how she thought the midterm went for her. She said fine. I've been shaking my head and studying how to improve on say-it-quick essay writing ever since last Thursday, and she's not worried. Well, tonight I managed to do the outline for my 1200 word essay in only 3 hours, maybe 4. My hope is that I'll learn.
Another new topic...It would be nice to work in a library. I'm studying literature, so....it fits. Will I do it?
My dog is barking, so I have to go.
Til next day..

Wow, the last post was July! I'm really behind. I've been studying, crazy things have been going on and I've hardly had time to write here. My daughter encouraged me to write as a journal entry, so I will try that approach. Isn't it great to have daughters who are such a delight and encouragement!
To my studying then. Will catch up later.

Well, this is later...
I've studied quite a bit. I really hope that I can learn to study more effectually soon. I meant efficiently but the other word will do. Funny what the spell checker comes up with. I'm still amused by that.
I got Advent #3 done, thank God. Now to brood on the last one.
On the whole I'm pleased with today. Schmooky and I went out in the field and we had a rosy cheeked time. He listened well and I ran now and again and that makes me feel like a kid again.
I talked to Oma. I need to keep checking up on her. We are told to take care of our parents. They took care of us after all.
I think I'll get my books together for tomorrow school time. I also have to get something ready for princess..Odette. I've decided to send her a letter once a week. It's my job as grandmother to keep in touch.
So, God bless and good night...
