Walk in the Spirit

Monday, Feb. 6, 2017

Saturday, Feb 4th, Judy was packing up to leave the park on Sunday and she popped over on her breaks.  We were talking and she was telling me how this lady she went to church with in Oregon, had encouraged her to sing in front of people at church because she was very shy.  She mentioned her name, Myrna, and it turned out to be one of my friends and Shaklee Distributors in my group!  She was sponsored by, and also a good friend of, Rosemary (who's daughter-in-law drove me with Uber in Las Vegas).  She lives in Portland near where Judy is from.  Wow! 

I went to the pool after dark, and met a lady that desired to go full time RVing.  She had a bunch of questions and she is coming over Monday before she leaves to check out my RV.

I had a conversation at the hot tub with a couple from Canada on Wednesday who encouraged me to check how many days I could go without dumping my tanks.  They suggested that I test it, while I had it connected to the sewer, so when I was "boon docking" ( parking without being hooked up to sewage, water and electricity) I could determine how long I could go without dumping the tanks.  Also I needed to know what happened when the black water (Tank from the toilet) got full.  Well I did it and I found out!  At 10 PM, I noticed that the black water tank was full.  I was ready for bed, of course, it was dark and I wasn't "feeling" going out to dump the tanks.  So I calculated that if I didn't drink any water and I was frugal with the flushing, I could manage until morning.

Sunday, Feb. 5

Well, I did, but 5 AM in the morning I had to go outside, walk a block to the bathroom and come back and dump the tanks in the dark anyway!  It did let me know I could go "boon docking" 4 days.  Sometimes We just need to resign ourselves to do unpleasant things.  Then I also found out that the rug in the bathroom was wet.  OH! NO!  Well I ended up having to wash 2 rugs and clean the whole bathroom with Shaklee Basic G (Germicide). All is well now and back to normal.  The rugs didn't smell, and I think the wet was caused by my water pump issue (it got turned on by mistake).  Oh, well, such is the life of an RVer.  You take the unpleasant (for a little bit) with the wonderful most of the time.

 I watched FTHCM streaming live and heard a great message from Rev. Sis. Wright. The subject was "Comfort through power."

         

          Her point was that to be Complete in Jesus, we need to be comforted by the power we have in us.

·        When we are filled by His Holy Spirit,(surrendered):

             1.  We can see who God is and who we are in                                       relationship to Him.

                             2.  We have no fear, God's got it.

·        When we are led by His Holy Spirit:

             1.  We can hear from God with a mind to obey.

             2.  We are always led away from sin and towards                                          righteousness and out of bondage

·         When we walk in the Spirit:

             1.  We can stay the course under the power of the Holy                         Spirit.

             2.  We become credible and fruitful

             3.  I will not fail!

             4.  We have everything we need to have Comfort in Jesus.

Then Judy came over about 9 AM to borrow my ladder because she wanted to pick Grapefruit before she left.  We also used a fruit picker that they had at the ranger station.  Only the ones at the top of the tree were still there. She got a bucket full to take with her and I will see her in Menifee next week.

All this happened before 10 AM Church in the RV park.  It was good, the Family that had the Concert led the praise songs, Pastor Jack was still fired up:  He said that "we could just wallow in God's love" (like pigs wallow in mud) .  "When we abide in Jesus, people will be drawn to us and we need to die to the flesh daily."

This is Superbowl Sunday, a great day to go to the pool and wash clothes without any crowds.  I put my clothes in the wash and went to the pool while they were washing.  I met a Lady in the hot tub, we had good fellowship and I was able to Minister to her.  When I went back to the Laundry, I met Joey, a former heroin addict that has been clean since June.  He was just discovering all the things in nature he missed while he was "shooting up" for 13 years.  He is into Eastern religions, and a lot of others and he thought they were all the same, in other words, he didn't know Jesus.  I ended up adopting him, he is from Chicago and real sweet.  He is coming over on Monday before he leaves.  We hugged.

Manday, Feb 6, 2017

Brian from Canada,( the one referred by Andy, the one I shared Shaklee with, that had the neck issue), knocked on my door and said that the pain relief cream did nothing to help, but I gave him a few Alfalfa and he said it was like a miracle.  So we set up an appointment to go through the catalogue and answer some questions he has.

PS.  I lost 3 top's (t shirts) in the laundry mat.  They were still damp and I rolled them up together and I thought I had put them in my laundry basket??? When I returned to my house, they weren't there.  I retraced my steps and didn't find them.  It will be interesting how this turns out.
