Bronchitis was a phenomenon Josée was very familiar with... a few times a year she had to contend with it and then she had to stay inside for quite a time and to take medication. As a child already she was troubled by it...she often coughed yellow lumps and she drank quite some cough mixture in the course of her life. Having a phone call with Ann she told that she invariably used to have a bronchitis in the period between Shrovetide and Easter.
Pronouncing this, she realised it was not a good pronunciation. Together with Ann she broke these words and she picked up that Jesus wanted her to be healthy, also between Shrovetide and Easter. This happened quite some time before Easter 2007. Since then she has not had a bronchitis any more. In the beginning of November she did get a cold but this time it did not develop further into a bronchitis... very quick she was completely recovered again!
In 1996 she went through a TIA (transient ischemic attack). It started with a painful, sleepy foot and went up to her leg and arm and the corner of her mouth was weird. She was thinking all the time she would not become 60. Also this thought she let go with the Lord. In the meantime Josée is almost 72 but a lot healthier than before she became a Christian. She is living alone but she does everything with Jesus. She also talks about everything with Him. At the moment she is making and installing a new kitchen by herself. For this she had to make a hole for a passage in a 17 cm thick wall. Recently, when coals were delivered for her stove and she could not get help right away, she herself took 95 coal-sacks of 25 kg each in a wheelbarrow to the back of the house... Where again it is written "in old age, they will stay fresh and green..." For also Moses only really started his ministry when he was 80... At the 25 year jubilee of Hugo and Inger last summer she blessed them with at least another 25 years... they accepted this but they added to it they expected Josée to be there then with them too... and she is very willing to! She is grateful for every year she receives from the Lord and is transforming her little house in order to keep on living in it a long time...
