(written on the 11th) Tough day today. I've been procrastinating all this New Zealand stuff because... Ugh. It's weird: Why would God want me to go to New Zealand? It doesn't make logical sense. Yes, it's true that multiple times God has directed me to do things that don't make sense, and after following that … Continue reading 2025-08-09 (Saturday) — Procrastination Beaten Back… For Now

It's been an odd day today. Spiritually, I was both more grounded today and also more troubled... for a time. Quite the journey. 🙃 I can't really remember much of the day. I slept in a bit, but I was praying pretty much every time I woke up and then dozed back to sleep. Finally, … Continue reading 2025-08-08 (Friday) — Solar Powered! (Again 🙃)

I'm not getting anything done. I'm on overload for some reason. I tried to work a bit today, being the last day and having not worked at all yesterday, but I think I only answered something like four questions today. I just... I'm having a hard time getting going. My brain doesn't work well anymore, … Continue reading 2025-08-07 (Thursday) — Need to Dig Deeper

Happy big day to a dear friend. 😊 Got up a bit later, and did some morning routine stuff. Helped Heather a bit with River (one of the horses), until Heather had to go to work). Spent probably an hour vacuuming up flies. 🙃 There were so many flies all over the side of my … Continue reading 2025-08-06 (Wednesday) — Bubbling Springs

My alarm went off at 5:00, and I made the conscious decision to sleep in another hour so that my brain would work well enough to do gospel study. I think it worked, as I was much more awake at 6:00 then I think I would have been at 5:00, and I had a decent … Continue reading 2025-08-05 (Tuesday) — Hungry to Love Like Father

B. My day actually started at 5:00!!! 😶 Hans came out and hollered at me to help me get up as he was heading out for work. 🙏 Aaaaaand... I didn't want to get up. 🙃 And I almost didn't, but then... I did. I was pretty darn tired because I didn't get to bed … Continue reading 2025-08-04 (Monday) — The Light Returneth. 🌞

I tried to get up at 5. I did. And I was so close to succeeding. My alarm went off, and I got up... briefly... but I was exhausted, and I just crashed again. During the night, I woke up, I'm guessing somewhere around 2:00 a.m.? To skunk smell so thick that I felt like … Continue reading 2025-08-03 (Sunday) — A Day In The Springs

I did it! No, I didn't get to at 5, but I did a really good job at putting first things first today!!! 🥳 I don't think I even left my van until like 10:00? I got up late, somewhere around 7:30, I think, but I spent my morning hours focused on the things that … Continue reading 2025-08-02 (Saturday) — Best Things First 🎉

(written on August 2nd from notes taken yesterday) Another day today... fairly doldrumy again. 😕 Got up to see Heather off for the work day, try to do some good morning routine work, and started working a little bit. After messing around with the Jetta a little bit, working on brake stuff, we needed parts … Continue reading 2025-08-01 (Friday) — Rapid Rerun

(written on August 2nd from notes taken previously) Little bit of collateral damage from the Rover renovating. I have a hole in my roof still, the size of an exhaust fan, and it decided to rain last night. 🙃 I also had all of my bins of clothing outside, as well as tools and whatnot, … Continue reading 2025-07-31 (Thursday) — Rapid Rescue
