May 7. It was 6:22 before I woke up this morning. Showered and washed hair. Had quiet time. Ate a bowl of fruit and yogurt for breakfast while amaranth was cooking to eat later in the morning with veggies. It was after 8:30 when we headed to the girls’ house. We took a number of items out to the shed this morning to get them out of the house. Did a lot of sorting and packing in Connie’s room today, and it is looking much better. Daddy put up screws/nails for several items that we hung on the wall, and he also attached the mirror to Connie’s dresser. “7In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God. 8Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.” Psalm 62:7,8 Praise God for all that He is. He is my salvation, my glory, the rock of my strength, my refuge, He is completely trustworthy, and we can trust in Him at ALL times. We can pour out our hearts before Him and He will always hear and meet our need. May 8. It took me a while to get awake after Daddy came to get me up this morning. I’ve really been sleeping hard the past few mornings. After shower, quiet time, breakfast, washing a load of clothes, and gathering things together to take with us to C&C’s, we headed over. When we went outside, it looked like it had rained a bit during the night. But as we got closer to the other side of Shelby, it looked like they had had a storm. Fields of grass had been beaten down. Connie said the rain had really come down hard here, although there were no severe storm threats or warnings. I had planned to help Daddy hang out the clothes this morning, but didn’t have the right kind of shoes for going out back in the wet grass. So I put a few things away, got my computer turned on, read a chapter in Joshua, and added a Bible thought to yesterday’s journal notes. When Daddy came in, we spent about an hour checking fourteen verses of Acts chapter 1. The first half hour we struggled over verses one and two until we finally arrived at something that was accurate and that made sense. By then it was nearly lunch time. Oops! I hadn’t remembered to bring something to make a meal for Daddy. Oh, well. He can share my cabbage soup. This afternoon, Daddy put in screws to hang a couple more pictures over Connie’s craft desk. Then I got last week’s journal notes ready to send to Connie. I tried to import pictures to send with the notes, but the computer wouldn’t import any pictures. Finally Connie figured out that there were no pictures in my cameras. I guess I already transferred them some time or other. After getting an e-mail ready with pictures and the journal notes to go to Connie, and then getting that sent, I had a snack and then made a batch of Annie’s brownies. “1O LORD, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things; thy counsels of old are faithfulness and truth…. 4For thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall…. 8He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the LORD hath spoken it. 9And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the LORD; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.” Isaiah 25:1,4,8,9 Comforting verses in the midst of all the chapters in Isaiah on judgment.
