Little Miss Winnie

Little Miss Winnie is our queen. She is royal through and through. Well she seems to be. There is something about her that makes you wonder if she descended from the royal cats of Egypt. And she is the best mom when she has a litter of tiny little bundles that constantly vie for her attention from the moment of their birth. She is patient and protective. But she also trusts us to hold them while keeping an eye on us the entire time. She is also very clingy when she gives birth. I can't leave the room without her following me at my heals, or in front where I trip over her. She talks to me and wants me there. It takes a day or two for this to go away, but I think it is the sweetest thing that she wants me there with her. When not taking care of her babies, she is the best mouse catcher there is. Sometimes too good with her prize left at our stoop. And to my disappointment, my birds tend to be her victim. Motherhood changed her. Before she was spry and loaded with energy, just like the kittens of her first litter. After birthing five, one of which sadly died, she now takes her time to walk gracefully where she desires. And trees which she once loved to climb are no longer a part of her passion. I honestly think she likes being a mom. Even after the kittens are older, she still watches over them.

I don't know how she did this. Six little ones from her second and present and hopefully final litter. Extra food to keep her health up will be needed. I will have to get a single shot of her uploaded. This was taken with my phone. I have others on my Nikon camera and need to upload them to the computer. But it is late and I will do that at a later time. Of course I am assuming you all want to see more of our queen.

Praise and worship with your toungue

I'm going through many changes this year. Some I'm not really ready to discuss. They are changes that may be good or could be the biggest mistake of my life. Only time will tell. And as time is known to do, it will pass fast enough and I will look back and see the fruit of my decision.

I find I spend more time with God. Though the rough times should not be the reason one finds solace in the Lord. We should search His presence at all times offering Him praise and glory for the awesome God that He is.

This is at my church in Ozark, Mo, James River Assembly. The sermon was on worshiping God and how the Psalms call us to clap and shout His name in glory. We are called to celebrate our joy of knowing and serving a God who is slow to judge and has an abundance of mercy for the his creation. We are not just His creation but a people He seeks and desires to have a relationship with. How amazing is that? Why would a God who is righteous and knows no sin want anything to do with an evil people that struggles to contain their sins on a daily basis no matter who they are? Or for that fact, why would He want anything to do with those who enjoy everything that isn't Him. See how amazing He is? He seeks those who are everything He isn't and yet there He is tapping us each on the shoulder to turn around and face Him, acknowledging His existence. Yahweh, Yahweh. Say it and know He is your God and stands beside you in all trouble and good days. Better yet, Shout it. YAHWEH, YAHWEH.

Been Too Long

I have been so busy, and yet not so busy, to keep up with my blog. I was surprised (really surprised) to find out that my last post was way over a year ago. Sad. And then sad because nobody noticed. I have been so busy with little life things that I really haven't had the time to write. Even for my books. That isn't totally true. I wrote and published a prequel to the Chasing Dragons Saga. I have book two, though untitled, half done and three chapters left in another book I'm writing. It is a mixture of present and past and no dragons involved. It feels as if I'm behind in my writing. I know I am. I am determined to change that. I am going to put everything I have into finishing my untitled work and then book two of Chasing Dragons. I also am going to work on promoting my published work with a contest to win a free kindle. This thought is still in the works. So much is happening with me. I am at a loss to know how much to share. So until I figure it out I will keep it to myself. I will say a lot of prayers have been breathed.
