Critter Clarity...

:) First, let me welcome my new follower, (actually, my first!!), Carolyn of Musings By The Creekside. So happy to have you on board! I enjoy reading your blog as well.

I must say that while we have been searching for ways to simplify our lives, that one of the things we were considering was to find a way to close our private animal rescue. Although this is not what we really wanted, all of the work and all the financial responsibility fell on my husbands shoulders. With his work schedule, and my being so ill it is indeed a hardship! Over the holidays, we have  come across many animals that needed help, and have found that we are it. We believe that God put us together for many reasons, and one of those is because we both have big hearts for needy animals. We must find a way to keep the animal rescue going and possibly even increase it's size. We are going to look into starting an official animal rescue with non-profit status, that way we can be eligible for grants and donations from the general public. Also, we may be able to find volunteers in the community to help, as well as seasonal Work-Campers. With this in mind, we will start to look for a 5-10 acre site in the general area for our animal rescue and eventual no-kill shelter. We hope to serve a tri-county area near us in south Georgia. Please pray with us that God's Little Critters Animal Rescue and No-Kill Shelter will become a reality and a bright spot in the community.

                                                      Animal Rescue is Our Mission!

Bloom where you are planted!

Proverbs 3:5-6 “Trust in the LORD with all your heart; and lean not upon your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct your path.”

While looking at other options for our future living arrangements, my Husband and I came upon the same idea. although we were thinking and praying seperately even in different locations, we were thinking along the same lines. Talk about being one!! I have found in the past, that this happens to us alot. God's ways are often mysterious! (To us human beings!!) While we would prefer a smaller dwelling, we believe that God is showing us uses for our extra space. We are praying about using our extra bedroom, which is actually a master bedroom, to host a Bible Study Group. We have found it a struggle as we are trying to remain apart from the world as much as possible, to find a Church that is not conforming to the world. We removed our television from our home about six years ago and have been trying to avoid Pagan Holidays and Pagan Traditions that are ensconced within Christian Holidays.

Following what we believe to be God's will for our path, we will bloom where we are planted. There may be a time (Weeks, months?) where we are still dealing with some of the issues that we have, and then we plan to begin a mission of Hospitality and Healing through our Lord, Jesus Christ. I have come to believe that because of the issues that I have come to deal with in my life that God has helped me through, that maybe I can with the Lord's help be a help to someone else going through the same issues.Maybe that was the whole point of my suffering. As always, God holds my hand through the darkness, and I will follow Him, and His plan for my life. Thank you lord for opening my eyes and allowing me to see the opportunities to witness and serve for you around me!

Moving down the simple path,

Robin
