It's the middle of summer here in southwest Ohio. Hot, humid, sweltering, the sound of cicada's drum in the air constantly, the birds are chirpping and darting all over, enjoying the flowers, and berries and insects that are in abundance. I caught some pictures of a lightening storm the other night after house church, and that was incredible...up on the hill and Ki in the background with a concerned voice, probabably more out of fear, because it was pretty dark up there, and we were the only ones, but she tried her best to convince me to leave, because she has to potty, NOW she says. But, I being stubborn and in awe, was not about to leave just yet and suggested she get out of the car and go on the ground! Well, then she didn't have to go anymore...foiled again! I supposed she worked through her fear of that immediate darkness and the craziness of her mother, because she was stuck with me up there in the dark all by ourselves with a storm coming! Poor kid! But OH the awesomeness of the lightening within the clouds was WOW!

Been reading "Crazy Love" by Francis Chan. We have actually been doing it on Wed nights at house church, figured I needed to get the book and actually do it, too. Another ...Wow!

Been seriously considering the options available to do. OT or Vet tech..and grooming. All I know is I want to take the gifts God has given to me and glorify Him with them. I have a love for animals that is obvious. And even when I was little, I wanted to be a vet. Nothing else. Every experience I had with animals I weighed in my mind, how to treat other's pets/animals. I could very well be the obvious. And here I have run all over creation looking and looking, but it was in my heart the whole time. See what pleasing others does. Get's you into places YOU weren't created for. I am also considering volunteering for Vitas, to love on the pts and families. I know, I know. But, I wouldn't be involved in the bureaucratic side of things. Oh, that would push a few buttons :) Not that it is my intent, just considering the reactions from others. Who blatently took full advantage of me, and then for me to show up in the volunteering side where there is NOTHING they had over my head, but quite the opposite. And to show them what GRACE looks like. (Maybe even get my dog :) Lord lead the way!


Read something this am in Crazy Love....Unapproachable Light...Still chewing on it. The Creator of the Universe is...maybe I struggle more with reverence than intimacy...Idk :)
