February 12. Fifty-fourth day of winter. A warm night and already around 62º when we got up this morning. Mostly cloudy today. After breakfast and quiet time, the first thing I did was look again through all the houses for sale in our County, ones that would be in Christy’s price range, and write down all the addresses so she can run them by our agent. Then sister Beth A called, and we talked for about 45 minutes. Afterward, I got last week’s journal notes ready to go to Connie, and transferred and edited pictures from my cameras so I could get those ready to go to Connie. When those were ready, I put them all in an e-mail and sent them to Connie. In the mean time, Daddy went out to Blacksburg to take another look at the KIA. He went the long way around, though (couldn’t remember what route we took last time) and was gone quite a long time. I was done eating and getting ready for my nap by the time he got back. Part of this afternoon’s time was spent proofreading the youth lessons in Proverbs. They’ve been waiting quite a while for me to finish proofreading them. The rest of the afternoon, I drew up a picture (to the best of my memory) of our house in PNG and how it will be after the church section is taken down and how we can put on an A-frame roof and how much roofing iron we’ll need. “19God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good? 20Behold, I have received commandment to bless: and he hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it.” Numbers 23:19,20 Whatever God has spoken and has determined shall come to pass, it shall come to pass. God cannot lie, and no man can change what God has willed or what He has done or promises to do. What He says He will do. We can always count on Him to keep His word. February 13. Fifty-fifth day of winter. Cloudy, but no rain. Temperature in the 40’s all day and refreshing to get outside. Lots to do this morning. Washed hair and showered. After quiet time and a smoothie, I put a load of clothes in to wash. Then I cooked a pot of cabbage and broccoli and put that on to cook while Daddy and I started checking the last chapter of the gospel of John. When the clothes were done washing, Daddy and I went outside to hang them up. While we were out there, we took advantage of the fresh air and gathered up some sticks that had been blown down during the last wind storm. When we came back in, I heated up some amaranth that I cooked yesterday with some white sauce from a couple days ago and added some of the veggies I had just cooked. Feasted on that while we finished checking John 21. Praise the Lord for His help in completing that. After that, I folded a few clothes left from Friday’s wash, got our bedding out of the dryer, and Daddy and I made up the bed. For my next job I swept the bathroom floor, cleaned the toilet and sink, washed part of the wall where smoke from a candle had turned it black, and scrubbed away at the bathtub, removing a good amount of the red deposit. I wanted to wash the floor too, but had no energy left for that. Took some Primal and white willow and sat down to make corrections in the John file. Then got that last bit of John set up in the print file and also wrote a short introduction for the book of Acts. This afternoon and evening, I looked over Acts chapter 2, starting to prepare Acts for printing and final checking. Had looked over chapter 1 some time ago. Christy and Connie went out to sit ‘n’ sew at the Parkers’ again. I spent a little time searching for some ideas for handmade greeting cards. “Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD.” Psalm 150:6 The last two chapters of Psalms were a wonderful reminder this morning that we, along with all of God’s creation, must continually praise the Lord.
