Discouragement
Discouragement is a wedge that keeps us from the abundant life. I pray that you walk in power. Speak it out... Tell the enemy to flee. Wield your sword. Speak the WORD to him. He knows the truth -- if he can keep us discouraged and keep our focus off the truth, off of the promises, off the Love of the Father -- then he holds the power. I can tell you, I don't want to give the enemy any of My Power. Just typing this gets me fired up.
Walk in Power - know who you are. A Child of the Most High God!!!
Life is like a vapor...
Life is a like a vapor... A mist. James 4
Sometimes it is so hard to ask for help. I speak from experience. After shoulder surgery last year -- I was unable to drive for almost two months. I had to get to physical therapy three times a week.
It was hard for me to ask for help. I didn't want to be an imposition on anyone. I sent out an e-mail
to a ladies prayer group that i attend. Several ladies responded and volunteered to take me to therapy.
It was such a blessing. And all I had to do was ask.
Now I am doing great and recovered from my surgery... driving again and trying to be more aware of
the needs around me. I recently had opportunity to take an old friend to therapy. It was such a blessing and to be able to help her like those ladies helped me. It was a special time of reconnecting with an old friend that I haven't seen in several years.
Webster says: inconvenient means an annoying occurrence that makes you go out of your way.
Do you ever feel like an inconvenience? Do you make others feel like they are an inconvenience?
What a blessing to be treated with such honor as the Samaritan treated the man who was attacked by robbers. He went out of his way to help this man. A Samaritan who most likely had been treated as an inconvenience his entire life. What an honor for Jesus to use the Samaritan as an example.
30 Jesus said, “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he was attacked by robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. 31 A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. 32 So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 33 But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. 34 He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him. 35 The next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper. ‘Look after him,’ he said, ‘and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.’

Another Catch UP Post ......
It was so Hot in Texas August 2013
-- I couldn't wait to get to Cabo again. However, it was hot in Cabo too!!! And it was a stormy two weeks.
The locals claimed that storms was not normal but they helped to make the heat more acceptable - Along with the Pacific waves crashing on the beach and a steady breeze.
Angela made a last minute decision to go with me for a few days. We didn't go on the same flight -- and I didn't even know what time her flight would arrive.
But Of Course -- When I finally made my way through baggage, customs, passport control and all the Time Share Salesmen -- there was Angela on the curb waiting for Cape Travel Van to pickup us up. God works out all the details as we stumble through this life. I love seeing His Hand guiding us along.
We had a great room on the 5th floor with this awesome view from our balcony.
You could also call this view from my Airpets Office in Cabo.
All Glory to God for His mercies are New Every Morning!!!
November took me to Las Vegas for an Pet Shipping Conference. We stayed at the Paris with the other 300+ Pet Shippers from around the world. It was good to see all our Colleagues and we learned a lot from each other and from our speakers. This is a very interesting job. And Las Vegas was just like Las Vegas -- Casino's are smokey and the traffic was crazy.
We were so busy with the Conference every day, there wasn't much time to do the Las Vegas stuff. Just as well!
When the conference was over we rented a car and drove to the Grand Canyon.
I have to say -- I love the Grand Canyon. It is so Majestic and Amazing!!!
God's Handiwork for sure.
The GRAND Canyon
HELLO, Grand Canyon.......
November 2013.....
We arrived at Sunset!! We rushed to the South Rim as quickly as we could to catch the beautiful colors. We wanted to make sure the Canyon knew we were there again and that we would be back in the morning for an all day visit.
The temperature was about 40 degrees when we jumped out of the car and started to run to the rim to take these pictures. A young family was leaving and as we passed them the dad said, "It's Closed".
We were stopped in our tracks for a second and then we all started to laugh. Such a mean man. :) He was pretty funny.
God is so good!! Yes, the South Rim was open and very inviting. What an AWESOME Creator. The Beauty is continuously overwhelming from one minute to the next.
GOOD MORNING GRAND CANYON!!!
It was 19 degrees when we woke up this morning -- however by the time we had a cupa coffee and and made it to the Rim the sun was warming us at about 40 degrees and rising.
