July 9. Praise the Lord for a nice cool night and a cool morning. Enjoyed a brisk walk in the fresh, cool morning air. Then we got busy packing. We had done quite a bit before so weren’t overwhelmed with a big job. Took a sit-down break and worked a while on an MTC (Missionary Training Course) lesson before fixing dinner. Chicken with gravy ‘n’ rice ‘n’ green beans for Daddy. Chicken ‘n’ soup for me. This afternoon, we did the vacuuming. Daddy did the dishes, and I continued working on the MTC lesson. Then we checked Romans 3 together. Praise the Lord for His strength and help in all that we did. After supper, we loaded up the van with boxes of food and some office items and a couple shipping items. Then we headed for the girls’ house. I was thankful to find places for all the food and to get that all put away. After coming back to the prophets’ chamber, I made corrections in Romans 3, added it to the print file and organized it alongside the English, and then added English chapter 4. “7Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is. 8For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.” Jeremiah 17:7,8 Oh, that this might be applied to our lives! That we might trust in the LORD, and in the LORD alone, and make Him only to be our hope. For it is only the LORD who can save us and make us fruitful and without care even when drought comes. July 10. What a morning! Started out with a migraine even before I opened my eyes this morning so got up and went to the kitchen for a small bite to eat before I started feeling too sick. Then I went ahead and took a shower and washed my hair. After that, I went and had breakfast right away. By then I was already getting a bad headache. But there was lots to do. Three loads of wash—the bedding, towels, and our personal things. Fold the bedding and towels after they were dried and put them away. Do last minute packing—the rest of our clothing, toiletries, food, computers, Bibles, etc. Empty freezer and fridge and load up the big cooler, a cooler bag, a box, and a paper shopping bag with all the contents. Clean the bathroom toilet and sink. Shake out bathroom rugs and sweep floor. Sweep kitchen floor. Empty trash. Wash up dishes, dry them, and put them away, and load up the van. It was well-loaded too. Didn’t even have time to look at the clock, and was I ever surprised after we got on the road to see that the car clock read 11:45! After arriving at C&C’s house, Daddy unloaded the fridge/freezer stuff and I got busy reorganizing the girls’ fridge and freezer and putting everything away—almost. A few things are in the cooler with ice packs to keep them cool. While I was doing that job, Daddy was out back hanging out our laundry. By then I needed to get something to eat as I was starting to feel weak and felt the headache coming strong again. So I warmed up some soup and sat down to eat that. I was good and ready for nap by now, but first the bed had to be made. Christy’s bedding was taken off, and our bedding was brought in from car, shed, and utility room. Bed was finally ready, and about 2:15, we lay down for nap. How thankful I was for a nice restful nap! This afternoon, I set up my computer and turned it on only to have Microsoft doing updates. When I thought they were done, I got into Outlook, only to have the computer freeze up on me. Had to force shutdown. Then restarted, only to have the same thing happen again. Finally gave up on the computer and went to opening the packages that had come for us the past few days. This evening, the girls went to Ladies’ Bible Study. I washed up the mountain of dishes that were by the kitchen sink. Then I had something else to eat, and after that Daddy and I had our devotional time together.
