May 31. The students had a lot of independent work to do today in math, English, and science so I was able to get some computer work done this morning, except for times when I needed to grade papers. I was thankful for the extra time, especially to work on the next Bible lesson. For some reason, I was having a bit of struggle in getting this lesson written. Worked on that for most of my computer time throughout the day and evening. The students were late leaving school as they struggled too, trying to answer their science review questions. Then Sunny stayed to fill up the washing machine, and the two men stayed to cut firewood. So it was a little after 2:00 before we even got settled down to nap. The men were still working when we lay down, but were gone before we got up. “And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.” Psalm 27:6 No matter how difficult the circumstances around us, we too can determine to offer sacrifices of joy, singing praises unto the LORD. June 1. It’s the beginning of a new month. How fast the days and months speed by! It has been a busy day, and is going on 9:00 p.m. already. There were only three men in lotu this morning, besides Daddy, and maybe 10 or 12 women. Garden work still keeps a number of them away. I was thankful to have a good amount of prayer time after lotu while Anna Jean did the laundry. Then I washed the chalkboard, and afterward looked for verses to answer a couple questions asked by the students in yesterday’s Bible class. Anna Jean was still here working — washing and cutting up greens, and an onion to go with them, and cutting up a pumpkin and a couple more onions to go into another pot for soup. Then she swept the floor before going home. Yunis was here again, finishing the job of weeding the yard, particularly around the flowers today. She worked a little over three hours today. A little before 11:30, I went to the kitchen and made a small pizza for our dinner. Also peeled and started cutting up some kaukau to add to my soup. Finished cutting up the kaukau after lunch, and set the soup pot aside until after nap. Daddy went out and brought the clothes in, and then we put the clean sheet on the bed, got the bed all made up, and lay down for a welcome afternoon nap. After nap, I seasoned the soup and set the pot on the stove for the soup to cook. Also cooked the greens that Anna Jean had cut up in the morning. Finished finding the verses I need to answer the students’ questions and started adding some discussion questions to the next Bible lesson. Did the dishes right after supper. Apekio came while I was working, and she sat and visited a while. Shortly after she left, bath water was hot, and I enjoyed a nice bath. Afterward I wrote several e-mails before pureeing the soup and putting it into bottles. I saved out a cupful or so to warm up and have for my snack. Tasted so good. I am happy to have soup again. Thank you, Lord, for providing the ingredients for a tasty, healthy soup, and the blender to make it smooth and easy to digest, and for keeping the generator working so we have the necessary power. “13I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. 14Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.” Psalm 27:13,14 A wonderful promise to those who are willing to wait on the LORD.
