 Isaiah 25:1 O LORD, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things; thy counsels of old are faithfulness and truth. Saludos en Cristo! The Lord has allowed us to continue to travel down the gospel road (test yourself to the biblical gospel HERE) and during all this, I'm still being faithful in my Titus 2 / Proverbs 31 duties as a godly woman on the move. The Lord be glorified as I share a few glimpses of my works in this post and go HERE where Brother Tupos and I share more of van life on the road, glorifying God through His creation and many other things.  Isaiah 61:11 For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations. It's that time again (spring) to think about gardens and what will be planted in them so I send encouragement to those who are going to be busy in them, or already are, depending on where you are in the world. I can't garden like I used to but I think there might be another small mobile garden coming soon for our little van home. 🚐🌿  I'm thinking a smaller garden than last year (see that HERE) but let's see how that goes because just like when I was gardening on the homestead, there's always room for something else to be planted so it's quite possible I might end up with as many as last year but let's see if we get those days and how that all goes:-)  Good earthly wisdom on that cup but the Lord's word is more thorough...  All the experiences we go through can give us wisdom on what to do or not to do going forward. In our years of serving the Lord, we've made a lot of mistakes and yet also, through the wisdom of God, avoided many of them by following the word and wisdom from past experiences. Philippians 1:9-11 And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment; That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ; Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God. I can't harvest from a big garden to feed my household but I can harvest good deals from the stores, which I'll share some with you as well as some of the good works cooking and putting them together. I found some discount tomatoes, peppers and zucchini, they were not the freshest for salads, but good for cooking so I thought I'd show what I did with them:-) These are cute, I saw them in the thrift store:-)   Brother Tupos sent me a text picture while we were doing a witness walk through a store (we split up and walk the store for a while looking to witness) and the picture was of stuffed mushrooms. We didn't buy them but I did buy some mushrooms to stuff with cheese and spinach to make our own, you can see a video HERE. I also stuffed some mushrooms with a cheese / pizza sauce mix and they turned out really good. I think we'll be having them pretty often as they're inexpensive to make, healthy and filling.  I made a video recipe of sweet potato burger bowls that you can find by clicking the picture above and a new recipe for stuffed peppers, click the pic below.  If you want to see a post about some catfish we fried up, click the picture below to go to the post. We made fish tacos the next day from some of the left overs.  This next pic is of a dessert I made with a recipe to come the next time I make it:-)  I wrote a post a long while back about savings / cash back apps / coupons / receipts etc, (you can see that HERE)...  ...and I'm still doing all that, saving some here and some there, being resourceful, frugal and responsible for what the Lord has given us.  Just this past month I cashed in quite a bit on my receipt apps, that happens about 3-4 times a year when they add up. I use that money to buy more groceries.  Speaking of apps, I have quite a few on my phone and one of them is for McDonalds where we get .99 coffees and earn points. We call it paying rent when we park in their lot to fly gospel signs on the van or some of them, like this, have a big spot in the back that we can stay for the night. This is an iced coffee and it's plenty for the both of us. I add a bit of cream (that they give with it) a stevia packet and a squirt of chocolate syrup and we have an inexpensive, refreshing treat. I did a witness walk through a store and saw those bins. It reminds me of many years past before all this packaging when you could scoop out beans, rice, pasta, oats, grains etc. It's interesting to see such things still going on today. It was an expensive natural food store but I did find a couple good deals and most of all, a Hebrew Roots man that works there, came over to talk a couple minutes and got the gospel and an invite to email brother Tupos!  We have a curtain by our big door and the white rings you see in the picture were what we were using to slide it open and closed but brother Tupos found some of those metal things laying in the grass and they work great. (Don't know someone would toss them out in the middle of town but they're useful:-) I have to confess, in years past, the thought of having two different, unmatching things like that would have been really hard but today, in being thankful for all things, I don't care about such things anymore. Good reminder to ourselves, perfection can be a hindrance in many areas. Gracias Padre por las flores. I took this picture in a store or laundromat, I can't remember where, but there are cameras all over in this world....  ...and I think about all the people who get mad at us for taking videos or pictures while we're out at the synagogues of Satan (the false churches that teach false gospels and leave people in their sins). If they weren't willfully sinning and reveling in it, we would have no need of documenting that proof and we do it to love our neighbors to warn them not to partake with them. Good warning for godly woman, people are watching, they may be videotaping or taking pics of us but most of all, God is watching. 2 Chronicles 16:9 For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. Herein thou hast done foolishly: therefore from henceforth thou shalt have wars. I'm trying something new this spring to see what happens....  As of this post, we're still in desert areas without many birds so we'll see what happens when we're by more birds as we travel this year:-) (We did see a roardunner bird that you can see HERE in the children's area.) I can hang it from the back of the van on the poles I use to hang dry our clothes. It only cost $3 so if the birds are too scared to come that close then I can always leave it in a park for someone else who has a better spot.  The door on my old microwave was really loose and things were rattling around while traveling across the country so we decided to buy a new one. I was surprised that the price had not gone up on them in the past couple years so that was a bonus. It's one of the smallest, cheapest ones you can get at Walmart (700 watts) and it works great on our generator. I mostly use it for heating up coffee water, reheating things for a few minutes, baking sweet potatoes and mostly for my rice heat packs that I use every night. They help some of the issues I have so having the microwave is such a blessing. A lot of people are fearful of them and I used to be anti microwave, but just like all things, moderation is the key. I used to be wrapped up in all the natural stuff and not wanting to touch anything that might have pesticides or a chemical or been in a microwave or wasn't organic, sprouted etc. I've since then (long ago) learned that the Lord is over all and that we just do the best we can in this world lest we have to leave it completely to avoid everything. Can't even breathe the air without having chemicals...yep. Do your best, don't sweat the small stuff and focus on the Lord. 1 Samuel 2:6 The LORD killeth, and maketh alive: he bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up. Speaking of rice packs....  ...I found a couple of these for neck and shoulders for $7, a great deal. I thought I did a post on making rice heat packs but I guess I didn't. All you do is sew up some cloth into a bag, fill it with rice and sew it shut. They heat in the microwave and offer a deep, soothing heat. These neck packs are already getting good use because they are great for any spot on the body to wrap around.  I started this post with gardening and I think I'll end it with this. I saw this strawberry growing on the plant at the store and thought about how productive strawberries can be as I used to have a huge garden of them with multiple types that would come to maturity at different times. Some had runners....  ...and they would shoot out and try to grow in the surrounding soil to produce more. It could become a mess if you weren't careful with an overly abundantly producing plant and when I took this pic, I thought about how awesome it would be to have those who claim the name of Christ, producing so abundantly...but sadly we know not many will be and few there be but I will rejoice knowing that the Lord has his few abundantly producing children wherever He has them. John 15:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. Before I go, I want to rejoice that I shortly after taking those strawberry plant pics, I was able to witness to a Mexican woman and she was a great encouragement to me. She mentioned that she went to school for 7 years to learn English and still has to work at it because she doesn't get to practice. It was encouraging to me because I don't have a lot of time to study Spanish, just a bit here and there in my days but words slowly adding up and I hope that over the next few years it will all come together so that I can put it all together for even fundamental conversations but let's see if we get those days. There's so many things for godly women to do in their days that we do what we can and I want to leave with this.... Galatians 6:7-9 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. Con amor ferviente por los Santos de Dios.
