March 15. Very cold today. Low 20’s this morning and only up to low 40’s during the day. I put lots of layers on but still had a hard time getting warm. Wore my slippers most of the day to keep my feet warm. Today’s projects included sewing a hem on the Americana tablecloth and clearing off the kitchen table so I could put that tablecloth on it and throw away the plastic winter table cover that was getting holes in it; working on the presentation; making onion/mushroom soup; photo copying, printing, and getting packets together to send to pastors whom Daddy contacted and who will consider having us come for meetings; doing the dishes; making a shopping list. Christy and Connie went in Christy’s car to church this evening so they could pick up Cindie and also pick up something at a friend’s house. Daddy and I left later, but got there plenty early enough to fellowship with several people before the meeting. After the meeting, we talked with the Workmans about our house plans for PNG. Sara has been doing some research about the types of wood used in PNG and the types of mold that grow out there so she can give us some suggestions. What a blessing that will be! “ And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.” II Timothy 2:2 How we desire to see the leaders of GIBC following this advice in their ministry. March 16. Up a few minutes after 6:00 today. We had a busy morning ahead -- shopping and errand day. Had quiet time and breakfast and started getting ready to go out -- get purse out, print coupons for Hobby Lobby, get snack and drink to take, address letters to take and mail, get shopping list, don’t forget check to cash, also items for thrift store, oh, yes, ice packs and cooler too. Did we forget anything? Hope not. Bundle up warm - it’s wintry out there. It was nearly 9:00 by the time we pulled out of the driveway. First stop, Aldi. From there to Office Max to get ink for Christy’s printer so she can finish printing our newsletters. Hobby Lobby next to get buttons for the baby jacket. Big Lots for jam, and a few other things we found that weren’t on the list. Last stop WalMart. Shopping went quickly, and we would soon be home, so we thought. Stand in checkout line and wait for someone to get a price check. Then another customer needed a price check. More waiting. I finally went and sat down. And Daddy finally went to another checkout. 12:00 now. Decided not to stop at thrift store today. Stopped at bank to cash check and then at post office to mail letters and get stamps. Glad to get home and have lunch. Wound down a bit working on the presentation. Then had nap. Worked more on presentation (with supper in between) until Microsoft Word (which has my script) froze up. Computer fan started over-heating too. Shut down computer. Connie cleaned out fan and rest of computer. I did dishes. Had little snack and then our family time. So that was our day. Praise the Lord for His help through the frustrations, His strength, and encouragement through His Word. “Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.” II Timothy 2:3 We would like to see them learn to endure hardness too. So many of them tend to let the hard places turn them back from following the Lord.
