get out and walk those trails!!!

Tire Air Pressure Check
 |
| Discount Tire provides free 3 minute tire air pressure checks/ refills! Keep your tires properly inflated for maximum mpg. I have decided to have mine checked every time I fill my gas tank. I can gas-up at Speedway, then drive 1/2 a block to Discount Tire for a pressure check! By establishing a routine I will be more likely to get it done regularly. |

Where Am I Again....?
Do you ever feel like you're in some weird, zombie-induced, gray area? Where the lines between right and wrong are blurred?
Well, that is definitely not where I am right now! The lines are so clear! Brutally clear, but in an amazing way...
And so... I am on His path... and trying to follow His will for my life. Sometimes the instructions are small~ spend more time with Matt. Sometimes big~ get the 'yard' tilled for next season's garden. Sometimes~ "just let go of those who won't follow me."
Regardless, His instructions are always a blessing.
As I listen my life is more peaceful and orderly. And things I just didn't think I had time/ money for are falling into place.
Do I still struggle? Yes! Is thee still pain in my life? Most definitely.
I struggle daily between what I want, the path I had chosen, the path He had me on and the path He has me on right now~ Yeah, It's a huge battle! But, I want Him to say, "Well done", when I get to judgement day, so I do my best to follow His lead. And I fail daily~ in big ways and small. I have to pick myself back up and just try again... and again... and again.
And pain~ pain of rejection for my path, for my past (seemingly caused by the fact I am different, but need to pay for who I was). Pain of having to let go~
of former friends
of family
of hopes
of dreams.
But, in His perfect way, He replaces all I give up with that which is so much better.
And unshakable faith that He is doing what's best for me no matter how badly it hurts, how hard I cry, how many reject me.

Tommy the Hamster
 |
| This is my new grandson, Tommy. He is Matt's first privately owned pet. He chose Matt~ waddled right up and began sniffing his hand! So far he fits in well in our homestead. Matt especially loves watching him 'launch' himself off the bars at the top of the cage! A wild and crazy hamster for a wild and crazy boy! |
