November 8. Last night, I loaded myself with medications and went to bed as soon as the Benadryl started taking effect—about 10:00. Didn’t get up this morning until around 7:00. It took me a while to finish breakfast and quiet time and get around to doing anything else. Made a large pot of herbal tea. Looked for a birthday card for Cilla and got that ready to mail along with Pat’s which didn’t go out yesterday. Then Daddy and I spent some more time checking John chapter 7. It has some tough spots so it went a bit slowly. Made a pizza for Daddy’s dinner. Washed dishes while his pizza was cooking. Slept almost two hours at nap time. This afternoon, I got last week’s journal notes ready for Connie and sent them off with some pictures. Connie stayed home with me this evening while Daddy and Christy went to church. We wondered at first if we were going to be able to get tonight’s meeting livestream because it didn’t seem to be working, but finally after ten minutes or so, we were able to get a good connection. November 9. Thankful to the Lord that I am feeling quite a bit better this morning, except for a headache and a little nausea from all the medications. Looked at houses for rent in the Shelby Shopper online before going out shopping this morning. It was a chilly morning so I bundled up warm and off we went to Aldi and WalMart. I was thankful that a cold wind wasn’t blowing, and thankful for a lot of good produce purchases at Aldi. As we were pulling out of the parking space at Aldi, I noticed a familiar car pulling into the space next to us. I recognized Carolyn’s car by the EBC sticker and the God Is Good sticker so Daddy pulled over to the side; and as soon as Carolyn got out of her car, I got out to say hello. It is always such a joy to talk with her. She is so cheerful and delights in the Lord’s blessings. It was a blessing to have a few minutes to share God’s goodness together before she went on into the store and we went on to WalMart. It was about 10:45 when we got home. Glad we weren’t out long. I was already tired by then. After putting away groceries and making a start on getting thoughts together for our monthly update, I ate an early lunch and went for an early nap. This afternoon, I got the monthly update written, and Daddy proofread it. Then Daddy took Christy out to look at some new apartments with rent based on income. It doesn’t look like this will meet their needs, however. So we will continue to look and to wait on the Lord. Received an e-mail from John Gray this evening saying that we should make sure we have all our documents and medical reports finished. This was the first it had been mentioned, and we are not sure what documents we need so we have written back to ask him. (It turned out that an email had gotten lost in cyberspace somewhere and Mom and Dad had never received it.) Decided to turn the scarf I was making into a cowl and finished that this evening. Will wait until I wear something matching before I take a picture of it—it is red,white, and blue. “So the posts that rode upon mules and camels went out, being hastened and pressed on by the king's commandment.” Esther 8:14a We too have a commandment from the king, a message to take to every people in their own language, an urgent message that should be taken with haste, a message that means the difference between life and death.
