A House

Well finally! we have a new home...sort of! LOL We just werent having much luck with finding what we liked to buy..appartently God is not ready for us to buy yet our house is not ready for us! So we decided to look for a new home to rent that would be cheaper than the one we are currently in. We found one! 400 bucks cheaper a month and a bigger yard for the boys to run in. Its still a 3 bedroom and 2 bath like the one we are in now, plus with this one we are going to convert the garage into another room as well for more space. No carpet! which for me is a BIG thing!! With 3 dogs around carpet is not a good thing! Its not in an area where we would like to stay but for the short time its good! Plus the owners are letting us rent month to month so we are not stuck in a year lease! I am packing now and have about half of the house packed. We start moving on the 1st of August and hope to make the final move of big stuff by the 11th. I am going to unpack as we move things instead of moving everything all at once then unpacking..we did that when we moved to Texas and I hated it...too much and too overwhelming! God is at work this week first the house them today I got some good news about a job I applied for, nothing official on it yet but very promising..hope to report that to you all in the next few days! for now its back to packing....

A Dog's Life

When loved ones come home, always run to greet them. Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride. Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure ecstasy. When it's in your best interest, practice obedience. Let others know when they've invaded your territory.

Take naps and stretch before rising. Run, romp and play daily. Thrive on attention and let people touch you. Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.

On warm days, stop to lie on your back on the grass. On hot days, drink lots of water and lay under a shady tree. When you're happy, dance around and wag your entire body.

No matter how often you're scolded, don't buy into the guilt thing and pout ...run right back and make friends. Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.

Eat with gusto and enthusiasm. Stop when you've had enough. Be loyal. Never pretend to be something you're not. If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it. When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by and nuzzle them gently.

Another deal goes BUST!

Apparently God does not want us to own a house! We have had two different deals on different house not work out in the past several months. On both places I was excited and talked about the house telling everyone all about it what it had this and that...well this time on this third house I kept my mouth shut! I talked to noone about any details of the house where its at or nothing. I just talked to God about it everyday several times a day! Well tonite we have ran out of options on this one as well! Unless we can come up with 5,000 dollars to close on we are out again. We dont have 1,000 right not let alone 5. And I for one dont know anyone that does have it! I cant stop crying! I just feel so depressed, frustrated and feel like a failure! Why cant we get this to work, dont we deserve to live in a house of our own!? A place to do with what we want and have plenty of room for the boys to run. Well, for whatever reason, its not in Gods plans. Am I really that bad that I cant even be blessed with a home!? I am just going to end this right here because I just cant seem to find words to really express how I am feeling and I cant even seem to find strength in God right now and that worries me!

The Ordained and the rain!

Well it started out blue sky and sunshine here in Texas this morning! But apparently July is starting where June left off..with the rain! I woke up this morning not wanting to get out of bed and get ready for church I kept thinking hey I can just stay at home and watch it on the internet..but then I thought no get up and GO! So i got up and showered and dressed then when making breakfast Bruce was like I have so many things to do today lets safe the drive time and stay home and watch church on the internet! UGH! I told him NO WAY! After showering and all we were going! So we did! and we are very happy we did! Pastor George and Pastor Terri (Kenneth Copeland's daughter) have been on vacation so their son Jeremy has been filling in and giving the services the last few weeks! He is great I really enjoy listening to Jeremy! He is the oldest of all the Copeland grandchildren. Anyway to day we get there expecting to hear Jeremy again..not the case. The Lord blessed us with Kenneth Copeland himself to give the sermon. Then following a very special event took place. Brother Copeland mention in all his 40 years in the ministry he never pushed his children to preach and never laid hands on them as they were ordained. He wanted them to follow God on their own not his influence. But today for the first time he laid hands on someone in his family to ordain them as a reverend of the ministry...it was Jeremy! I cant even explain it how uplifting and blessed experience it was to watch! But back to the rain....because the sun was shining and we had beautiful blue sky's going into church my brilliant husband decided to leave the truck windows down...despite the fact I told him rain was again in the forecast...well two hours later coming out of church its not only raining but its a freaking down pour! Needless to say the truck seats and dashboard were soaked!! Guess its gives new meaning to the Copeland message of Blessed coming in and Blessed going out! LOL!
