Page from My Journal: Chronicling A Day in the Life of A Reader

Tiffany is the oldest of two children, a 2007 homeschool graduate, and now a twenty-year-old college graduate as of May 2010. She majored in English literature and has a passion for reading, writing, and discovering God's plan for beautiful womanhood. For over a year she has been blogging at True Femininity, which chronicles all the little things in her life as she journeys towards true femininity, such as her favorite interests: homemaking, cooking, fashion, frugal living, homeschooling, and theology.

8:25am--I'm awakened by a phone call from a friend. I drowsily chat for five minutes, and then immediately get out of bed because there is much to be done today!

8:30am--I grab my Bible and head downstairs to where it's cooler, so I can curl up and read for a while. I'm currently reading Judges, Proverbs, and Mark. Getting to read the Word and pray in the morning is so important in starting off the day right.

9:00am--After finishing my Bible reading, I pick up another book that I've been reading the past week: "The Doula Book." Doulas are trained labor companions that are there to provide both emotional and physical support to women giving birth, and I am just beginning to tackle the required reading list in the process of becoming a certified doula.

9:30am--I get dressed and do my hair for the day. I'm excited to be wearing my favorite dress--a bright red, retro 1950s housewife dress--and I put my hair in an old-fashioned updo. I love wearing older style dresses, and sometimes I wonder why I wasn't born sixty years ago!

10:00am--I call and set up an interview with a potential employer. I've been searching for jobs for well over a month now, and this will only be my second interview. Nevertheless, I am thankful that God has answered my prayers and that I'm at least getting an interview!

10:10am--I go outside to help my father with the gardening. My dad loves gardening and its been part of my brother's and my routine to help him with the garden every Saturday for as long as I can remember. I help out by watering and fertilizing the plants every week. This year, our backyard is looking especially green (for California, at least), because it hasn't been excessively hot yet!

11:55am--Dad helps me screw on my alumni license plate cover on my car. I can't believe I've graduated from college!

12:00pm--After two hours working outside, I come inside and eat lunch with my dad, and we play a game of cribbage.

12:45pm--I set my camera up and take some picture examples of modest dress for feelinfeminine.com. This is by far my favorite:

1:30pm--I set to work learning how to create my own blogroll. When it comes to working with HTML, google is my best friend! I'm not at all a tech-savy person, but with google's help, I can almost do anything.

3:30pm--The blogroll is up and running and I'm happy that I was able to conquer all the problems that presented themselves!

4:30pm--I begin making pizza dough by hand. I'm trying out a new gluten-free recipe, but once I taste it, I decide that food has gluten in it for a reason...

6:00pm--After dinner with my family, I play another game of cribbage with my dad, and we watch AFV with the rest of the family afterwards.

7:00pm--I open up my mail and find some printed pictures from graduation. It's so hard to believe it's almost been a month already.
8:00pm--I join my brother in doing an excercise program that he's been doing recently. Ever since I got home from college, he's been doing an awesome job of motivating me to push myself to workout.

9:00pm--I go upstairs to my room and answer emails from blog readers while listening to two sermons: "Obey the Master's Call" and "Praying in the Will of God."

10:30pm--I talk to some friends and then read Calvin's Institutes and a book about autism before going to sleep. Reading is the perfect way to slowly wind down from the day, and I think ending it with reflections on theology and the Lord makes for a peaceful night's rest!

Is this something you would like to be a part of? I'd love to hear from you. We are in need of people who are willing to chronicle a day in their life to post on this blog. If you are interested, please email me: modestpatterns @ sbcglobal.net (remove spaces)
