You Will Be Missed Little Dude

I haven't been able to face the truth about this little guy for a little bit now. But I have decided to finally  write about him.

We had been taking care of  this little kitty (5wks old)  for my Aunt for the past week. He had seemed healthy and loved to play and he was starting to thrive until last Saturday he developed difficulty breathing after eating...my Mom and Aunt rushed him to the vet they discovered that his ribs and sternum didn't developed properly and they were pressing in toward his spine and constricting his heart...there wasn't anything they could do for him...we only had him for a week, but it seemed like a life time. It has been hard dealing with this little darlings death and will be for a while. I am glad My Aunt and my family were able to take care of him so he didn't die alone.

He is buried in an area where our other Family pets were buried.

2011 has been a hard year for me I have been coping with a lot of deaths and its been hard but somehow I make it through and that some how is GOD.  Even though I can't feel God with me sometimes doesn't mean he isn't. He cries with everyone when they cry and he keeps your every tear. He never put us through anything that we can't handle even though it is hard to believe at times.




I forget where I read it but I read one time that with every bad thing we go through it makes a knot and all those knots are bunched together. But when you flip the knots over there is a Beautiful tapestry. God makes  good things come out of every bad thing and it makes that Beautiful  tapestry.  I said to myself "wouldn't that be awesome if God hung my tapestry in my mansion in heaven. That way I would be able to take steps back and see what God has done in my life."


 

I MISS THE LITTLE BABY!!!! 

This little kitty was found by my cousins girlfriend Jessica. She found him in a covert in the side of the road. His Mother was killed a couple weeks back:( He is around 6 weeks old and weighs around 11oz. Unfortunately Jessica couldn't keep him because she lives with 3 labs. So my Aunt (who lives across the yard) is keeping him. He is the cutest little kitten ever!!!!! His little mew is adorable!!! Below is a picture of me and him...We call him Peek-a-Boo;)

As The Wind Blows

This is a poem I wrote while watching a rain storm.

Tree tops being tossed around in the wind, rolling back and forth, the wind testing their very strength. At times they roll peacefully like tall grass and I feel relaxed watching them. But at other times they are being thrashed around like the wild waves of the sea. Sometimes I feel as if I am amongst them being tossed around as they are.
The wild, wild wind swirling stray leaves through the air while the trees limbs bend after them begging for their return.
Can you imagine being a tree? Can you imagine the stories you would have, the feeling you would have of being thrown around in the breeze. What an adventure that would be.

The Peaceful Life of a Country Kid

Ok so I was at a friends house for a party and most of the people there were adults that I didn't know. So I went on a walk by myself and wrote this in my diary.
The pictures are pictures of my friends property:)



Dear Diary,
The peaceful life of a country kid.
Right now I am sitting on a bench by the creek at Chrissy's house.
Just sitting and listening to the sounds of the peaceful gurgling creek. The suns rays glistening like diamonds on the surface. The sweet smell of fresh water. The cool breeze gentaly blowing on my face.
I could sit here for hours just thinking, thoughts from my past and thinking about my future.
My mind wanders as far as the heavens. I can't help but let it.
The beautiful purple flowers pop out from the luscious green grass, the butterflies Pirouetting across the land.
I can't help but wonder if God has a place for me like this in Heaven. If he does...well then...you'll know where I'll be. :)


God created the Heavens and the Earth. What a beautiful Earth he made for me!

Car Show

Dear Readers,

Yesterday my family and I went to the car show about 10 minutes down the road from us. It was the last one for the summer:(
I love going it is so much fun!!!! We buy an ice cream cone (chocolate for me) and then we browse around and look at all the different cars. I just LOVE car shows!!!!

Well anyway here are some snap shots from O'Kenny's (that is what the place is called)

A Capital Experience

Dear Readers,

We all know that the Same-Sex marriage bill hit the floor and was passed.
I was at the Capital for 3 different days along with my sister and my Mom. We went with a group from our church only once and that was the HARDEST day I ever experienced.
I was made fun of, they kept nagging me, I was yelled at in my face and in my ear. I admit I have a short fuse and I'm pretty sure some of you know that. Well there were times I wanted to turn around face to the woman who was yelling in my ear and slap her in the face. BUT I didn't even turn around. I took a deep breath and just stayed where I was. God spliced a longer piece of fuse in with the one I was burning. They were trying and pushing the Christians to get mad and to make them say something. That's what they wanted.
On the bus ride home that day I just cried, it really cut me deep to see so many people hate us and hurt us because we did nothing other then not supporting their belief.
I said to mom "Mom I never want to go there again."
But sure enough that night my mind was changed. We got an email from Katy Key (our Pastors wife) saying that she loved seeing us stand up publicly for what was right and she looked forward to standing up for Christ again with us.
The next day we went...in the afternoon. It was very quite because we stayed out of the pit and just stood in the Senate lobby and the Senate chambers and prayed. We were made fun of and teased while we were in the Senate Chamber. They were taking pictures of my sister and I and trying to make us mad. We had to go pick up my brother from school so we got up and and left and when we did that you could hear the woman yell "Yes" because she thought she got rid of us.
Then we came back on the same day during the evening. We went with a friend of ours and we were there from 6:30 to 10:00pm standing holding signs and singing praises to God. There was one time where all the Christians were on their knees praying and singing. It was truly AMAZING!!!! The news people filmed it but they never showed it on the news. But it doesn't matter...the ONLY thing that matters is that God saw us.

Well that was my experience.

Dinners ready I have to go now:)

David Tyree - “Being the fact that I firmly believe that God created and ordained marriage between a man and a woman, I believe that that’s something that should be fought for at all costs,” said David Tyree, a former New York Giants star who spoke outside the New York Capitol today. “I’ll lay down everything I am to preserve the honor and integrity of the God that I serve.


STAND UP FOR WHAT YOU KNOW IS RIGHT...DON'T WAIT FOR THE OTHER GUY TO DO SOMETHING!!!!!

My Mom sister and I are possible going to the capital this week today or even Thursday or Friday to support TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE and to pray. If any of you who are reading this wants to go as a group not only with us but possibly with more people call my church...

Note

Dear Readers,

These last couple of months have been a total doozie!!
I am constantly thinking of Mrs. Murphy and just what could have been changed so she would be alive today. I wish there were such thing as a rewind remote for life. I think everyone thinks that at one time or another in their life.
I have a small shelf above the head of my bed that has a photo of all the animals I have had plus one of my Aunts dogs that have passed away. So every night when I go to sleep I always see all of their faces and I think of how much I miss them all. But I have been thinking a lot about my 2 kitties Moses and how it wasn't right for to die of kidney failure at only 8 years old. I think and regret how I couldn't cry for him because he died within a hour after I found out about Mrs. Murphy.
I think about my other kitty Pumpkin who was Moses' "wife" who died within a week or a couple days from him for no reason we could find. I think of how both of their deaths could have been prevented.
I recently have been thinking of my cousin. Also how my Great Grandpa fell and how scared I was that he might have died.
But most recently as today I have been thinking about my Grandparents and how they had to put their dog down.
My heart has been aching non stop for the past 3 months not only for me but for all of those effected and in pain from all the happenings.
I love all of you guys so much and I pray in the months to come there are brighter days For all of us, for those who are going through a rough time and for those who have already.


Deuteronomy 31:8
The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.



Lots of Love
Becca

No More Tears

Psalm 42:11
Why am I discouraged?

Why is my heart so sad?

I will put my hope in God!

I will praise him again—

my Savior and my God!


No More Tears

Chapter 21 in the book of Revelation is a vision and emotional masterpiece describing heaven. There are layers of precious stones including sapphire,emerald,topaz and more that form the foundation of the city. The city walls are pure gold. The streets are pure gold so polished that they appear to look like glass. There will be light everywhere. The light will come from God himself. The most incredible part of heaven may not be what you see; it may be what is missing that most demands your attention.
In heaven you will not find sin, Satan, or death. Anything in your present life that causes you pain, sadness, or even difficulty will vanish. Ignorance and misunderstanding will give way to complete understanding. Fear will be replaced by peace. Complete healing will occur, restoring every person. Nothing will wear out or decay; everything will be made whole and perfect. There will be no more good-byes. Best of all, death, both natural and violent, will cease to exist. Tears will no longer be needed.
It is a great comfort to know there will be a time and a place where the worst of your present circumstances will be gone. For you, all the questions will be answered, and your faith will be complete. He will touch your face, wipe your tears, and welcome you to joyful eternity.

Revelation 21:4
God will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death, sadness, crying, or pain, because all the old ways are gone.



Blessing
Love and Prayers
Becca <3 Love you all
