I am praying for you.

Jan 13, 2017

Good morning, the sun peeked through a little and the temperature is 46 degrees...but the "real feel" is 52.  Of course I saw all that on my phone and I don't intend to "real feel it" until later when it goes up to 56...maybe.

What a life!  I hope you don't feel sorry that I am out here all alone, in the wilderness "camping" in a small RV with none of the comforts of home.

Let me explain my choice to go RVing full time. 

I woke up this morning at 7:30 AM with a full 9 hours of rain-on-the-roof  sleep and joy in my heart.  I made half of my queen sized bed (with a tempurpedic mattress top, very comfortable).  Let me explain:  I only sleep on half the bed, so it didn't make sense to me to have to go around the whole big bed to make it up, change the sheets, etc...  Sooo I devised a plan.  I use 1 queen sheet, fold it in half long way, and put it on my side of the bed (only) with the fold toward the middle of the bed and sleep between the folds after flipping back the comforter & decorative pillows.  Walah! I only have to make the one side I sleep on, and BONUS, I only have to wash one sheet!  This will only work for those who sleep alone.  Not for married folks, sorry.

When I am hooked up in a Camp ground, I have water, electric and sewage that functions just like a home.  I have lights, heat, air conditioning, a microwave, gas stove, oven, double sink, large enough refrigerator and large enough freezer.  I have 2 TV's, 2 DVD's (one for the bedroom and one for the living room), VCR, lap top Computer, Printer, phone, wifi hotspot. fully functioning bathroom, and shower.  My home sleeps 6, seats 10+(20+ with extra chairs) has plenty of storage space and that is just the inside.  Outside I have a stove (runs on propane) table, chairs, all the equipment for cooking and enjoying the outside (if it is not raining) even have an awning and ground cover.

When not hooked up to a Site in a campground, I have all of those functions available, just on different systems ie. generator, batteries, water tank, disposal tanks etc...  I can stay unhooked comfortably for about 4 days before I have to dump the disposal tanks.  If I park near a bathroom, it could be longer.

Just thought I should explain in case you were feeling sorry for me.  I love this life!  Oh, did I say that I can stay for 21 days in any (gated) Thousand Trails RV park (with pool, hot tub, store, exercise rooms, laundry, activities like volley ball, ping pong, water volley ball, shuffel board, horseshoes, minature golf, all of the ball sports, and more, like a resort) go from one park to another park and stay 21 days or stay out for 7 days and come back to the same park for another 21 days for the rest of my life and now it only costs me $500 a year?  When we bought it, it was not a good deal because we hardly ever used it, BUT NOW!!!!  There are over 80 parks all over the USA to choose from.  Whoopee!

The wonderful friendly environment creates an atmosphere to meet interesting people from all over and they all have stories.  And if I don't like the neighborhood...I can move in an hour). What a life!  Do I miss having a house??  You tell me.

I do miss your fellowship, but I am so glad I can do this blog, so those of you that are interested can follow my journey. Now, when I do talk with you, I can hear what is going on with you, and if you are following me, you  already know my story so we don't have to do that again.  If I had to share with each of you individually and at different times, I would be crazy trying to remember and you would be crazy trying to listen to my long stories.  At least now you can stop reading, and I will never know (except when we talk and you are so far behind, I will know then)(smiley face).

(I am writing this on "Word" on my lap top, does anybody know where the smiley faces are?)  Please text me on: 301-580-2824 or email: lonnaswann2gmail.com

I pray for you daily, and my prayers are getting longer,(as I add people I meet).  My prayer for you is that you be saved, filled with the Holy Spirit, walking in the fullness of Christ Jesus, walking according to the fullness of His will and according to the purpose in which He made you, that you are guided by Him, protected by His Angels, keeping you from hurt, harm or danger. Amen.

He loves you, wants you to have His joy and fulfillment, and He will do it, if you are willing to receive.  He can't go against your will, once He gave it to us, we have to choose Him.  He's the best and only!!!!  I just love Jesus, he's so "cool"!  Get to know Him, He is everything you are searching for, let Him prove it to you. (He did it for me!).
