it rained real heavy out here just the other day. i love it when it rains! don't get much of it out here in vegas, so when it rains its like a miracle lol. well, i mean it poured, not for long but it did just the same. when the rain cleared two rainbows stretched across the sky from one end of the city to the other. they shone side by side, one more prominent than the other. it was as if the one were leading or supporting the other. i stared in utter amazement. i'd seen rainbows before, but this time i was taken, and i could feel Gods encouragement reminding me that He honors His promises. just wait. GOD HONORS HIS PROMISES. i cried, and from my mouth praises began to flow.
thank you Lord for honoring your promises, and for reminding me that my wait is not in vain. I love you Lord. Thank you Jesus.

went to the park with my puppy (she is still a puppy to me even though she is not really a puppy :) Olivia is my girl. i love her. she is cute, and cuddly and rambunctious! but she's mine and i love her. for those of you who do not know... she is a pittbull/rottweiler mix. beautiful brown eyes and brindled golden brwn and black with a white chest and white feet. 54lbs, 2yrs old
anywho. the park was fun but since she is not the most social dog (understatement) we waited till all the other dogs cleared out of the run so we could go in without any distractions. it was fun! we hung for a tad and then were on our way home for a bath, or something like it. (outside with hose, nothing like playing in the hose :)
i love my animals. i have a cat too. Sassy. long haired siamese, piercing blue eyes, cream colored body, coffee painted face, ears, feet and tail. and she is definately a sass! she loves telling you what is on her mind. so loving and at times i don't know who is more protective, her or the dog. lol.
they also go by olie or olie molie, and cha cha or chachie (lol, my neice couldnt say her s's for a while so she called her chachie. lol.)
i can't forget my plants, phil and bella. YES i named my plants :)

sometimes we anticipate failure to come but we push and try to make things work even when we know that eventually that very thing will be unsuccessful. its not to say that we are so pessimistic that we believe in failure, but that it fails because it, knowingly, is not the will of God. and when it finally comes to that point where it can be pursued no longer we still suffer the hurt and disappointment of the whole thing. it still stings...even when we knew from the very beginning it would not work. we become hopeful in a place that hope really does not exist, perseverant to reach a target that cannot be reached, caught up in the possibility... of nothing, consumed by the flame of death instead of the fire of life. we attempt to build, even though we lack a foundation. a house cannot be built if you do not have all the proper materials, and certainly not without a foundation. but we desire it, so in our desperation we attempt to build anyway. what is wrong with us? don't we know that our flesh cannot be saved. in our selfishness we, gradually blink our sight away from the face of God. the even more absurd direction of all of it is this, we don't fail once and walk away. we shoot and miss the mark, so we shoot again taking another aim, and miss the mark, we take a better aim and shoot again, miss the mark... and you guessed it... shoot again, and again, and again...taking a step closer with each attempt, thinking that it will improve our marksmanship. but it doesn’t. well, eventually we have taken so many steps that we reach the end of the range and realize there was never a target to begin with. when we have exhausted ourselves with attempts and tears, shots and misses, our brokenness opens ours eyes to the reality that existed the entire time. IT knowingly, was not the will of God, and thus the anticipated unsuccess surfaces so strongly that we cannot swim against God's all consuming tidal wave.
The Lord shows us when we are heading in a direction that He is not leading. i urge you, don't ignore it...don't, ignore it.
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
i pray Lord that you would give us a greater hunger and thirst for your righteousness that we would be found in no other place but in the center of your perfect will. Lend us your strength that we may resist the enemy that seeks to destroy us in the desires of our flesh. Search us oh God and remove everything that is not like you. Cast the devil out of our minds and loose us here today. Create in us a clean heart and renew in us a right spirit.. Cover us Lord with the Precious Blood of Jesus Christ. In Jesus' Name. AMEN.
God bless you. i love you. mo~

The sacrifice of Jesus Christ is a prime example of that love. John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
38For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
