TWENTY SIXTEEN - PART THIRTY FOUR

                                         TWENTY SIXTEEN               PART - THIRTY FOUR

  Hello folks,

  we are now in the danger         zone.  The place that I               probably dreaded the most.

We moved onto this property on the 8th September and our rent was paid up front for one year. I don't know what the contract says whether the rent is due on 1st  or 8th September.  But whatever the case we do not have it and do not know how to get it. 

We have both tried our utmost over the past six to seven months to earn some money, but all the doors  have closed in our faces. If you have been reading this blog from the beginning you will understand what I am saying.

God has been very good to us and has provided us with all our other needs.  We have had to make many sacrifices but that is between God and us. But it hasn't been an easy road to travel. We know that the reason for this is that our Almighty Father is molding us and shaping us into the people He wishes us to be and so we thank Him and are forever grateful.

All along the way, God has been showing us that we need to wait on Him - this particular Bible verse has come up a few times :

"This plan of Mine is not what you would work out, for just as the heavens are higher than the earth , so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts."
Isaiah 55: 8- 9

So we wait upon the Lord our God.

It is now Saturday the 10th September, We have been invited to a "spoil day"  by Amanda, (our landlady) we are in a group of invited guests, which is held on the property. 

 We are treated to facials, manicures, including gel fingernails, Haircuts and tints, washing of our feet,
free books including a New Testament Bible, jewelry, perfume, new handbag and lunch.

Tuesday, 20th, Ruth sends inventory to Rand coin - gets an immediate reply - Jason Brady cannot open email - need to redo on "word excel"


  22nd September -                     wonderful uplifting news -       Amanda tells Ruth that             they will not be charging us     rent as I am a widow and         Ruth is an orphan. (Don't understand the orphan part.)


Also yesterday were given R1000 by a very good friend, just when we needed it most.

Ruth has been working very hard on our coin collection inventory - resent by email to coin dealer on 23rd or 24th.  Ruth also does some urgent shopping.

28th given another R1000   - just in time as Ruth had to renew her yearly car licence of R840. -
Also we sent Steve  an sms for monthly script, comes to R561, including new eyedrops, my eyes are now much improved but not yet 100%.  Ruth bakes muffins for us and Amanda.

29th September , my back has deteriorated some more. It is now affecting my shoulder and my ribs, which it has never done before.  Very painful, living on "stilpane"  only way to ease the pain.

30th - woke up at 11.am - I must treat  my eyes,  then try to sort out this blog - pages somehow got all mixed up. It is really in a mess. Two days to go to next post.

Trust in the Lord.  He will get you through.

next post 4th December
