June 25 2015 Greetings My I am on the front porch with my laptop. I find myself struggling with bronchitis and at the same time longing to go outside and sit so the porch sitting and writing sounds like a winner to me. Junior has found a contractor online and he is to come install a 2nd toilet in our laundry room. I believe Junior wants to get an idea of the quality of his work before seeing about asking him to do our other renovations. My prayer is this is the one to help Junior finish up the renovating process. Getting that 2nd part of the bathroom will mean that down the road we will have 3 and I am not upset with that either. I also hope Junior can get the plumbing hooked up for the washing machine which would give us a lot more room in our current bathroom. The birds are singing and I marvel as I listen to them. I will hear a bird or two over by the road and then almost like an answer I will hear birds towards the back of the property. It quiets down and I hear a small song. The dogs are sleeping at my feet and the breeze feels good. My heart keeps pondering if I should be out here at all. The humidity is 64%. I tell myself a bit longer and then I will go in. I will sit in the air conditioning with it pulling all the excess moisture out of the air. I will breathe deeply and enjoy the indoor time because I spent time outside enjoying God’s awesome sanctuary. Right now I have noodles cooling to make mac and tuna salad and we will have that for lunch. It is an easy meal to put together and the coolness tastes good on these hot days. I ponder all the foods we have to eat. God created cows to eat grass and hay and they are happy. We were created to taste an abundance of food and it feels good. As a wife and mother one the purest joys I have is cooking for my family. Some days I thank God for teaching me to cook because I enjoy my cooking so much. I marvel at the textures, the aromas and the smiling faces of those I cook for. To me this is the DNA God created in me to give to my family. Later I will make the bed, pick up, sweep and feel Junior’s contentment in our home. He feels my contentment as he creates the structure of our home. He understands that I am short, he has studied my likes and dislikes and strives to create with them in mind. More often than not we are on the same page as far as our tastes in decorating go which feels awesome. I trust him to make decisions from time to time when I am not around. As I sit here writing I understand on a deeper level that I am responding to the way God created me/us. The more I learn how to live the way I was created I find that I am at the place I need to be and I no longer question God. May God bless you and keep you Love Janet
