Jeremiah

For I know the thoughts I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
Then shall you call upon me, and you shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.
And you shall seek me, and find me, when you shall search for me with all your heart.
And I will be found of you... (Jer. 29:11-14)

Yeah, I have loved you with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn you. (Jer. 31:3)

Call unto me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you know not. (Jer. 33:3)

How wonderful are the promises of God!!!

Just recently, one of my coworkers and I were discussing the mercy of God. We are both outdoor people that love to be surrounded by God's handiwork. When you spend your time outside, among God's creation, you begin to realize how small you really are. The scripture teaches that if God's people fail to praise Him the rocks will cry out... and how true it is. All of nature sings in symphony a glorious melody of praise to its Creator. So why can't I? God help me to speak of His wonderful mercies and amazing grace.

"What is man, that you (God) are mindful of him?"

Tribute to a Friend!!

 Jake was a rescue from the Humane Society that was going to be put down if he was not adopted.
A friend gave me a wonderful lifelong gift in Jake.
This year has been amazing, sharing it with my little friend. We have had nothing but good times.




Learning 'wait' and how to not run out of the house when the door is open... hmmm, that may be like putting a large slice of chocolate cake in some people's faces... haha... HARD TO DO!! For some anyway! :)

Learning to Sit up Straight! Now he does it all the time and he stays up forever.
For those of you who may wonder, yes he has been a good doggy sitter. He still has his puppy and he does not mistreat him he carries him and snuggles with him but does not tear him apart.



I was doing yoga in the morning and as soon as I stepped off the mat, Jake took over and started doing his own doggy yoga. I laughed so hard it was hilarious!! He still stretches with me in the mornings.. no prompting needed. :) 

This was his first time 'Packin'.... he did great!!

Spending time with his friend Alyssa.

King on the mountain!

Hiking so many different trails... longest hike recorded just under 10 miles at one time.

Finding shade under a 'uh' tree?! Hmmm, gotta' do what you gotta' do!
 
 There's nothing like having the wind in your hair at 90 miles an uh... I mean, 55 miles. Hehe! Sorta' like humans wrestling with the wind while driving.... good times!

He's a great travel companion... better than a cup of coffee. Awe, well maybe he needs one, but I was doing fine. :)



Helping mom with her homework... I think he got the hang of it. Look at the book, highlight a few lines and then take a nap. Haha!! :)


He loves the mornings!

 Bein' cute makes you tired.... awe, Jake that is! Hehe! :)


Friendship at it's finest!!
