Ps 91 (NKJV)

3 Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from the perilous pestilence.4 He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler.5 You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day,6 nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.

Q is for...

Ordinary Lives. From a 2 z 4 u & me



Quiet

As you know I'm a homeschool mom with seven children. Although my two oldest are gone from home a great deal of the time, I still have five at home making a lot of noise - even when they're trying to be Quiet.

If I want Quiet, they have to leave or I do.  :-) It's usually me, since they don't know how to drive (and even if they did, it wouldn't be safe).


Now you have to understand something about me...I was the youngest of three and the only girl. The brother closest to me is fourteen years older. I like to say I was almost an only child. I spent a great deal of my time alone. I LIKE QUIET. I NEED quiet to rejuvenate. It's just who I am.

So many times, like this coming Thursday (I have to plan it), I will take a few hours away for myself. Sometimes I will shop, but I'm not much into "retail therapy." Most times I will go sit in our local BBQ restaurant (where my eldest son works - yeah, Lawler's) and work on my book. It doesn't have to been long - a couple of hours - and I'm good to go for another couple of weeks.

What do you do to have Quiet?
