I have been struggling through the summer heat but now things seem to have cooled off. The light rain on the landscape is lovely to see on the green grass. I have been checking on my little gardens and flowers each day on my walks around the property.

There have been worries and health trials over the last several weeks. In the midst of it all, I have been trying to regain strength and energy to live joyfully each day. I have been watching (or listening) to a sermon most mornings. I take notes because it helps me to concentrate and remember what I am hearing. This has been such a blessing and a great source of peace for me.
I wanted to give you a little update on the blog. Sometime ago, I had set up a second channel on YouTube. This one was just for scenes of our peaceful river and local lakes and such that I wanted to share. I used my main channel for things like sharing how to bake or sew. I recently took down all the videos on the scenery channel and was going to shut that one down. I also took down my videos on the main channel because I was so tired and wanted a break. A problem happened when I finally went to delete the scenery channel. Without my realizing it, the account was connected to my main (sewing and baking) channel I use for the blog. You may have noticed it is missing! I did not intend for this to happen, but now both channels are now permanently deleted. I was shocked at first, but now at peace. I will focus on other things. I have another book idea I want to do but am so tired, I will have to wait.
Summer has been lovely here. We have had frequent visits from the grown children and grandchildren. They are my favorite kind of company!
Today will be a lovely day serving the Lord. It is an honor to be at home and to trust my Heavenly Father for everything.
Blessings
Mrs. White

Please dont delete this blog page! I always enjoy your posts.
Be sure to take good care of yourself, Mrs. White, and the Lord will do the rest. Blessings!
Wishing you health, peace, rest, and joy. I also hope you don't ever delete your blog. It is such a source of inspiration to me. Your books and blog have helped me to prioritize time with God and motivated me to spend more time reading the Bible and taking care of my home. You have also given me many practical tips and ideas. I keep you and your family in my prayers. God bless you!
Dear Mrs. White, Visiting your blog is like hearing from a dear friend.
I just said a prayer for you for God to strengthen you and restore your health.
So very sorry the videos were deleted.
God richly bless you,

I swear the Lord makes happen everything that needs to happen! I was hand-wringing about getting rid of Facebook. I just didn’t like it any more. I first thought I’d get all my photos, as many were of my daughter and our family when she was young. After successfully doing that, I mistakenly clicked to delete the site. They check with you and give you time to change your mind, but I felt like I’ll take the sign:). I stuck it out and got rid of it and haven’t thought about it since, nor all the hours of work I put into it. So glad for the “nudge”.
Sometimes it does seem like life can be a real struggle. But we are to trust the Lord and persevere. It sounds like you are doing just that. This summer has been difficult for many people with storms and floods, and up here in northwest Minnesota, smoke from Canadian wildfires. Some days the smoke is almost unbearable. But I stay inside on those days and get caught up on household chores.
I will pray the Lord's strength, peace and provision for every moment will be sufficient for the day and that His presence bring you great joy.
Your yard and home are lovely and so peaceful.
We are blessed to have an all sufficient Savior caring for each need as it arrives,
Have you read George Muller's testimony on how God met his daily needs and the needs of his orphanage?
If you would like I can send his book to encourage you.

I'm so sorry to hear you are struggling these past few weeks, plus having unexpected expenses is especially daunting. Your blog brings me such peace (as I am going through a lot of stress right now ) to keep serving the Lord and my family. I also take notes on books that strengthen my walk with Christ.One is "Waiting on God" by Andrew Murray a preacher from the 1800's.Its transformed my thinking and I go thru my notes almost daily right now! Gods richest spiritual blessings to you!❤️
