October 16. Turned cloudy last night and also very muggy. Had a hard time getting to sleep until I finally got up and opened windows/blinds to let fresh air in and turned the little fan on in the bathroom. By that time it was about 12:30, but I was thankful to get to sleep after that. The weather is cool, cloudy, and drizzly today. This morning, with a prayer in our hearts for God’s mercy, and the memory of God’s promise in II Chronicles 25:9, we sent the check off to Carolinas HealthCare System for Lewis’s medical attention last January. Included a cover letter explaining a bit about our situation and our ministry, and also a gospel tract. We pray that somehow God will use this to help someone come to repentance and salvation. Also got journal notes and pictures ready to send off to Connie. Daddy and I went out for a short walk. It turned out to be a very short walk as a chilly breeze was blowing. Sent journal notes to Connie after we came back. Also wrote a couple other e-mails. After that, I fixed a cherry-banana smoothie to drink. Then it was time to make soup—green soup today—millet, spinach, collards, green beans, carrots, and onions, well-seasoned and creamy. Enjoyed a cupful and a half after it had cooled a bit. This afternoon, I printed fourteen monthly updates and envelopes and gave them to Connie to fold, stuff, seal, and stamp so they can go in the mail in the morning. Then I made a batch of Annie’s brownies. Yum! (Too sweet 😊 but yum.) Must be healthy though—they’re all organic 😊. “6By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth. 7He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses. 8Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him. 9For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast. 10The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of none effect. 11The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.” Psalm 33:6-11 God’s word is mighty and powerful. God’s word never fails. God’s word stands forever. Let us fear the LORD and stand in awe of Him. Let us magnify His word which abides forever. October 17. A very chilly morning—in the mid-forties. and a cool wind blowing. Started wash right away this morning, put rice on to cook for my breakfast, had quiet time, hung out clothes (Lew & I bundled up—didn’t worry about mosquitoes today 😊). Ate breakfast after hanging out clothes. Then Daddy & I headed for Forest City to shop at J’s, a couple thrift stores, and Mighty Dollar. Don’t know what time it was when we got home—maybe around 1:30. Daddy went down to Subway and brought home a sub for lunch, and I warmed up some soup. It was 2:15 or so when we went to nap. This afternoon, I finished another MTC lesson in the course Missions Around the World, and in the evening did some research on an unreached people group. “13The LORD looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men. 14From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth. 15He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their works.” Psalm 33:13-15 God sees and knows everything. He knows everything we do and everything in our hearts. We cannot hide anything from God.
