 The works of a godly woman can be the same thing day after day but all to the glory of God if done heartily unto Him. Colossians 3:23 And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; I'm sure you do many of the same things I'll put here but maybe some will be an encouragement or make you smile at what is good, pure, true..... Philippians 4:8-9 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you. I'm thankful to be a godly woman, set free from being an ungodly child of the devil through the gospel which you can test yourself to HERE.  As we travel down the gospel road we stop at waysides and put out gospel cards. Brother Tupos drops me off at one end and I walk to meet him while he puts out cards at the other end. I hope people read and heed the gospel. We've had people reach out to us who have found our gospel cards in such areas:-)  Part of my Titus 2 duties are to map out our travels where we can park along the way and this is what a recent set up looked like, flying my gospel signs while doing so in the marketplace. Brother Tupos took this picture to send to a brother who works a second job as a cook and the place he works makes similar things there.  Almost $10 for that?! We always marvel at the cost people will pay for food today. There's no sin in someone eating out or buying convenience foods but to make a habit of it (if it's expensive) is not being wise with the resources that God has provided.

Van life brother fixed a hole in his shirt and made a pizza from his second job. I don't think that even if I had an iron and a big patch that would fix the big hole in brother Tupos shirt:-) It's getting pretty worn through (many years old) so I might just save it for the material needed to fix his other shirts, but we'll see if I try fixing or just save it.  Click the picture below to go see our fish fry:-)  This stain treatment works great!  I used it on the (really dirty) cuffs of brother Tupos long sleeve over shirt and I was surprised at how clean it got them. I put it on just before tossing into the washer. Just sharing in case you have this product and wonder if it works:-) Click the picture below to go to a new salad recipe.  When I see sweets like this and the over abundance of prepared foods.....  I think of this.... Proverbs 23:1-3 When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what is before thee: And put a knife to thy throat, if thou be a man given to appetite. Be not desirous of his dainties: for they are deceitful meat. 'Desirous' means to lust after or covet. It's not sinful to buy (or make) and eat such things but they shouldn't become a daily part of our lives, overtaking what should be healthy and we shouldn't be lusting for them, being gluttonous over them. Give God glory for His awesome creation! There's a store brand around this area that I have found kombucha for $1.50 / bottle....  So when we can, we stop in and I go see and this time I found 7 but better yet, 5 people got the gospel and truth!  Click the picture above to see a post called 'Name Brand vs Off Brand Savings' to encourage us all to be very frugal in the resources the Lord has given us. Every morning I make myself a little cup of hot tea and sometimes I look at the words on the tag hanging on the string.  It might as well be signed 'satan' because it's a wicked thing to say to such a dark, fleshly, carnal world. Romans 8:7-8 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. We want to do more of what makes God 'happy' or better phrased 'pleased'. Romans 8:1-4 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.  It's almost April and where we are it's the beginning of garden season with the rest of the country following close behind. I thought I'd give encouragement to godly gardening women who have a big task ahead of you. After we park for the night (if it's a grocery store) I go in for a witness walk, flying my gospel bag. I walk up and down the aisles, in and out, between the racks and let people see my bag. This woman commented on it, got a gospel card and listened to truth for a few minutes before she moved along on her way.  On that night, as I was leaving the store, I saw these...  I thought all the pot colors were pretty hanging there and when I got closer I saw the plants were pretty much dead. It reminded me of man made religion....people going to church and thinking they look all religious and faithful but pretty much dead (spiritually). Those plants were lacking physical water and true saints can become that way if they turn away from the spiritual waters of life through Christ. Be like this...  ...alive and vibrant in the Lord.  As I type this, it's raining out (has been off and on all day) and it makes for more trials in van life than in a house, but that's okay. My small floor is really easy to clean but constantly gets extra dirty really fast in the rain from gravel, dirt, and parking lot gunk....  ...so I have to kill my flesh and wait until we're done going in and out, let it dry then sweep / wipe it at the end of the day. In a house you can have a spot to enter in, take off really dirty shoes and then walk around but not in van life where floor space is limited and you're in an out all the time. It's a mental adjustment but once you let that all go, you get to focus on other things rather than worrying about a dirty floor:-) I'm off to go do some other things that need to be done but I'll leave with a few more glimpses out here on pictures. Keep pressing into your duties as godly women (I hope you are one) and rejoice to be able to do so.
