2025-05-28 (Wednesday) — Spiritual Slow Down

(written on the 29th from notes taken previously)

Gratefully, I was able to sleep in a little bit today. Definitely haven’t gotten enough sleep over the last while, so a bit more is nice. 😊

I chatted with Hans while eating my yogurt with Frozen mixed berries in it, chatting about house construction stuff and whatnot.

I found and dug out my shavers from one of my bins for Hans to try, so I set those charging. Spent most of the day, on and off, working and writing my journal posts trying to catch up.

Long journal entries. 🙃

Played with and loved on Zora. 🙂

Helped Hans get the roof safety anchor stuff figured out, and he went up and anchored it in for future roofing efforts. Unfortunately, we found when we ended up there that the people who did the roof didn’t seal up any of the screw holes.

That’s why it was leaking.

That’s pretty much my experience everywhere I go in life when I have someone else do something for me as well. Corners cut. Sloppy work. People just trying to make a buck.

Sad.

Hans found a different kind of sealant that I guess is specifically for this issue, so I ordered some of that. Should be here on Friday, in time for our efforts on Saturday before the storms roll in.

Hans spent a fair chunk of the day, having taken the day off, using the big backhoe that the neighbor rented and is letting him borrow, and I helped briefly in that effort as well.

Heather came home while moving piles of earth around, and we pretty much stopped at that point. We talked about what we’d found with the house. We talked about plans for the building project going forward.

Spent pretty much the rest of the night eating dinner, chatting, planning, joking around, etc.

I kept taking work calls as they came in, as it was a bit better of a day today than usual, as per lately. I think maybe I got 16 or 17 questions for the day. 🎉

Think we called it the night about 10:00 ish, and I headed out to my van for the night.

Good day. 🙂

I’m feeling a little stunted spiritually over the last few days. I’m so used to having gospel stuff filling my ears all day everyday, and though I’m doing good things here, I’m not filled up like I’m used to. It’s easy to fill my self up when I’m driving down the road just listening to wonderful stuff all the time, but when I’m back and forth jumping around between the gazillion different things, it’s a bit harder.

I feel like I’m slipping a little bit. Definitely need to make a concerted effort to arrest the slide as soon as possible. I’ve had so much focus on temporal things, and I’ve realized that’s taking a chunk out of my spiritual well being.

Gratitude:

  • I’m grateful to have been able to get so many questions answered today. That’ll be a little help to the pocket but it’s been hemorrhaging money with so much driving and so little pausing. 🙃
  • And grateful to have had my feet not really have any of the really sharp pains, just the aching all day long from the nerves being unhappy.
  • I’m grateful to be able to help with house-building stuff.
  • I’m grateful to be caught up on my journal posting. 🙃
  • I’m grateful that I’m able to live such a flexible life right now.

Success:

  • I’m recognizing that I’m slipping, and that’s the first step to arresting the slide.

Improvement:

  • I want to make sure I’m better prepared for potential spiritual slowdowns.

Loves!

Lift the world.

Bring it on.
