March 2023

We were living in Scott County, Minnesota at the time. The prayer journey around the state started here. The county government offices were big and modern.

…all winter for this.

A snowless winter has turned into a snowy spring.

…all year for this. There must be a lesson in this somehow. Waiting? Waiting for beauty to appear?

1 Corinthians 2:9 …”No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him.”

Enjoyed the lard Ruth gave me this past summer, so made some for myself. Long process, but the result is worth it. We are also making our own brats with the venison and pork we have. Fun learning these new skills.

A tornado in ‘22 took down many trees on our place. My husband cut the oak and ash into 8’ logs. A year and 7 months later, thanks to a neighbor with a portable sawmill, we have many beautiful boards. Now, what to build when they are dried and planed? It will be another year for that. Somethings take awhile…not everything is instant.

…to carry everything to God in prayer. Was my honor to pray in all 87 Minnesota counties this year. About half of those I had others praying with me. Minnesota belongs to Jesus. May there be light, life and love here in honor of Him and for the benefit of all people living in the state.

My husband declares this time of year is his favorite. I like spring, but fall colors on a warm sunny September day are something to admire.

Since the peas first ripened in June we have been enjoying the produce from our garden. We are getting toward the end and I still am reaping what was sown. There has been enough to process by canning and freezing and to share. For this we are thankful.

Nice to have a dog who enjoys Lake Superior as much as we do.
