October 28. After lotu at Liberty, Judy came to wash clothes. I was busy crocheting and praying. A little while later, the other school students came to work. Wan came as well. Wan and Mike worked inside the entry room and on the roof. They took the rest of the silver paper down first and there was a big puddle of water in it. No wonder water was leaking in. There was a low place in the roof, and there were places where it had not been nailed properly or had not been nailed at all. The roof had dips in it where puddles had collected on top. They worked on repairing the roof, and it appears that they got the leaks and dips taken care of. Then they put some things under the house that were taking up space in there and moved some other things around so they are ready to start building a wall for the schoolroom which we plan to move into that part of the house. The rest of the crew worked outside, cleaning up the yard and taking away rubbish, weeding, thinning out some flower areas that were getting overcrowded, raking, cleaning out the ditch on the west side of the house. After writing a letter of reference for Maura, I went out for a while, too, to get some sunshine and trim some flowers that had dead leaves and stems. This afternoon, I wrote an e-mail to C&C and attached the journal notes, but Daddy couldn’t get it to send. So this evening, I divided it up, and put the journal notes in an e-mail by themselves. They always seem to give a problem when I attach them to an e-mail with a message. “57) But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 58) Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.” 1 Corinthians 15:57-58 Another of my favorite portions of Scripture. Praise God that we are victors through our Lord Jesus Christ! The promise of the resurrection and the knowledge that our labor is not in vain in the Lord should certainly spur us on to be stedfast, unmoveable, and always abounding in the Lord’s work. October 29. It was a fire-in-the-wood-stove morning. Billows of fog, with clouds overshadowing the world as well. Half of my morning was spent in the kitchen, with Bible reading first and prayer time while breakfast was cooking and more later while I was crocheting. Bible reading this morning was the last chapter of I Corinthians with admonition to “13) Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong. 14) Let all your things be done with charity.” 1 Corinthians 16:13-14 Also a reminder that “If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha.” 1 Corinthians 16:22 And encouragement that “The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.” 1 Corinthians 16:23 Amen! Praise God for His grace! His grace to help me stand fast in the faith. His grace to help me not to quit. His grace to help me be strong. His grace to help me do all things with charity. And his grace to help me tell others how to love the Lord Jesus Christ and escape the wrath of God. First kitchen “job” this morning was to make a smoothie for my breakfast. After that had been consumed, I made a very small batch of granola pancakes and ate a couple of those. Then I got busy putting ingredients together for soup so the soup would have time to cook and then cool down a bit so some of it could be blended for our dinner. A little soup mix, some chicken bouillon, fennel powder, and butter in the bottom of the pan plus water, one kaukau (that’s what was left in the cupboard), three yams, a pumpkin, two onions, seasonings, carrot powder and moringa leaf powder. Was thankful for sit-down time after that—prayed while crocheting another couple rows on the afghan. Then had a cup of coffee before making the bed and working on a Revelation lesson. Spent more time on the Revelation lesson this afternoon. We praise the Lord for answered prayer for Dallas and that he is feeling much better since taking the parasite and malaria treatments. “Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the LORD'S anger.” Zephaniah 2:3 An admonition for the people of Israel; but can it be applied to those in America who are meek and have been faithful to follow God’s judgments and ordinances? How long will God withhold his anger from our wicked land? May those who seek righteousness and meekness be hid in the day of His anger.
