(written on the 4th from notes) Today started out with the same light as yesterday, and the light only increased. 🥳 I did my morning routine stuff, and then had a wonderful gospel back and forth with Richard via text. Well... it was pretty much mostly me sharing, but was still wonderful on my end. … Continue reading 2025-06-03 (Tuesday) — Comfortable and Uncomfortable Blessings

2025-06-02 (Monday) — Hard Spiritual Work
(written on the 4th from notes taken previously) Well, the sleeping portion of last night started a little bit later than originally anticipated. As I was lying there in bed, the wind was getting pretty strong, rocking my van from side to side, and because my bolts to secure the solar panels hadn't come yet, … Continue reading 2025-06-02 (Monday) — Hard Spiritual Work
2025-06-01 (Sunday) — A Friend’s Joy
Not much to report today for me, but a friend of mine I chatted with a bit today had one of those spiritual days, the kind where you're just so filled with the Spirit and with joy, and so full of gratitude to God that the tears flow, and the verbal expression of feeling just... … Continue reading 2025-06-01 (Sunday) — A Friend’s Joy
2025-05-31 (Saturday) — The Battles
(written on June 1st) Well, after a late night, getting to bed somewhere around 1:40 a.m., my body woke me up bright and early at just after 6:15, I think it was. 🙃 Not sure what's going on. But I've always wanted to need less sleep, so that I could do more, so maybe this … Continue reading 2025-05-31 (Saturday) — The Battles
2025-05-30 (Friday) — SBS Shingles or Standing Seam?
(written on the 31st) Woke up a bit later, with Hans already up and working on the backhoe. I did some morning routine stuff and then spent most of the day doing research into roofing stuff--trying to learn the ins and outs, pros and cons of the shingles vs. standing seam. Take questions on just … Continue reading 2025-05-30 (Friday) — SBS Shingles or Standing Seam?
2025-05-29 (Thursday) — Arresting the Slide
I'm actually writing my post on time. In fact, it's not even 9:00 yet. 🙃 Tired. Body is sore. Definitely been a test of my ability to be grateful today with the various things that have been going on. 🙃 Hopefully I can end on an up note after a long day of feeling not … Continue reading 2025-05-29 (Thursday) — Arresting the Slide
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 … Continue reading 2025-05-28 (Wednesday) — Spiritual Slow Down
2025-05-27 (Tuesday) — Blessings, Just… Blessings 🙏😊
(written on the 28th from notes) Well, I can only blame myself for the night sleep last night. 🙃 I ended up staying up until after 3:00 in the morning looking up stuff online related to the house-building project here because I was so concerned about everything. 🙃 Aaaaaaaaaaand then I woke up at 6ish--wide … Continue reading 2025-05-27 (Tuesday) — Blessings, Just… Blessings 🙏😊
2025-05-26 (Monday) — The Privilege of Pain
(written on the 28th from notes taken previously) Just not getting much sleep. 🙃 I was both tired this morning and starting to migraine. I was supposed to go with Heather and Hans up to Rapid City, but with my being in my little pre-migraine phase, I didn't want to be hanging out in another … Continue reading 2025-05-26 (Monday) — The Privilege of Pain
2025-05-25 (Sunday) — Made It!
(written on the 27th from notes taken previously) Wow, the cankers were bad this morning, so bad I was actually worried. What's going on?!?! I took some pictures. At least 5 big sores. Why?!?! I looked up different mouth sore issues. Doesn't look like oral thrush. Doesn't match a viral outbreak of some kind. They … Continue reading 2025-05-25 (Sunday) — Made It!
