It’s a bit late for spring cleaning, but it’s been quite a year. I’m clearing out old stuff and making room for new. But I never want to forget some of the places I’ve been or how I felt. So it’s good to have the chance to reflect on things I thought were forgotten and trivial, but through the process of cleaning and rearranging these little ¢â‚¬Ëœtidbits’ are like ¢â‚¬ËœFragments of Past’ years waiting to be remembered.
So here’s a few things from an old address book/journal dating to the early 1990’s. Wow! I remember when recanting the ¢â‚¬Ëœpast’ would have been to remember the early 1960’s.
- Rachael ¢â‚¬â€ takes driver’s ed with me. We found a loophole where a parent can monitor the hours behind the wheel with the minor to be applied toward Driver’s Ed course.
- in remembering, I don’t know if that was bad or good
- it was really hard and stressful for both of us
- I was probably tougher on her than on others, and probably tougher than an instructor would have been
- I hope (after years have passed) that we learned valuable lessons about how to interact together
- I’m not sure we did¢â‚¬¦ but I like to think so!
- We learned Leavitt women are a ¢â‚¬Ëœforce to be reckoned with, darn it ¢â‚¬â€œ I will be heard!’
- We learned Leavitt women should never be left in closed quarters (like a car for extended periods – or on periods)
- I love that we had time to spend together
- Now that she is grown with her own family in another state, when I look back I cherish all the time we spent
- Would I do it all again
- ¢â‚¬â€ You Betcha’ in a heartbeat!!
- Would I do it all again ¢â‚¬â€ NadaChance’in¢â‚¬¦!

- “God kept our home SAFE thru all the quakes
- 2 glasses, 1 saucer, 1 vase was all that broke
- Psalm 91 was reality and IS REALITY for us. No weapon formed against us prospered.
- Looking back — I don’t remember the glasses, saucer or vase.
- I remember I was tormented with such devasting fear that my life had become fragments
- Just as a ‘token breaking’ began in the natural realm, a ‘breaking’ took hold in the supernatural realm
- Without warning, my areas of struggle began to shake and break
- Almost too small to notice — like a glass, saucer or vase; I could feel a shattering of fear
- quaking, quaking
- shaking, shaking
- breaking, breaking
- bit by bit

- The Lord reminded me of all the times I’ve given water in ministry to saints and said I’ll never be without.
- although the entry says “I’ve given” — it’s really “we’ve given”. The Lord was speaking truth to me, but the greater revelation is that Rich and I hav alwayse been ‘in this together’!!
