At times I feel like my head is spinning these days. I can't seem to stay focussed to that which is most important. My vision gets blurred and my rock my LORD is unclear as if he is a far away distance under bright rays in a dry desert. I close my eyes to gain some clear vision and maybe clearer vision than before. I pray to my G-d...so tired from trials, deceptions, accusations, disrespect, unappreciated, belittled, carelessness, selfishness, greed, opinions caked with pride (how can everyone be right?) attacks, ill health so on and so forth. I feel as though I am losing myself getting sucked into this pool of despair and find myself resentful, envious, bitter, prideful, selfish etc. With eyes shut tight I cry out. Life can be hard life can get you down. People can be hard and people can get you down. Though I know the opposite can be true Life can be good and is good and so can people. G-d is good and HE has every situation, EVERYTHING in HIS hands. I can trust him with ALL things. I open my eyes and begin to gain my vision back. I am grateful for HIS love, for HIS presence, for every lesson HE teaches in our journey of life and living even if at times it can get my head a spinning and ready to pass out. How could one know joy if they never seen sorrow. How can one truly appreciate the rain if they have never been without. Every season is important even the prolonged ones. G-d gets us through, each new year is like another grade passed another lesson learned another weight endured another mass of muscle. Thank you LORD for helping me be just a little bit wiser and a little bit stronger so that I might see a little bit clearer.

So I have heard that one can train their own dog to be a diabetic alert dog. I always thought that you could not get the best results but am finding you CAN get just as good of results training a dog yourself as you could with some of these organizations out there. It is a lot of work (it is the other routes as well) but with much dedication and some outside help it can be achieved and has been achieved. Now I am not an expert and I do encourage you if you are looking into a Diabetic alert dog or a service dog to seek expert advice such as http://www.servicedog411.com/ and/or http://www.diabeticalertdog.com/ I am at the beginning stages of my journey...I may or may not be successful. You live and you learn and you try try and try again. I have chosen to rescue a dog from a shelter and train him. You can also get a dog from a breeder who has been scent imprinted like http://www.highlandspringsbreeders.com/ or if you want to go with an organization you could look into http://uklabs.com/ . If you do decide to look into any organization I would say to be sure to proceed with MUCH CAUTION!! Do tons and tons of research and do NOT rush into it. http://www.servicedog411.com/ can help with seeing what your options are and what is right for you. Some of those who know me know that I have gone with an organization...but I am sorry to say we had a bad experience with them. So here I am living and learning and ready to take on a new task. I have adopted a young adult malteze mix just brought him home yesterday. His temperament is good. Now I must say I do not recommend this breed or this way at the moment this may or may not be successful. You can follow my journey here(it is my journey and only my journey NOT expert advice)....http://simplysuperbdog.blogspot.com/ I will be sharing pictures soon. The other links you can get some good advice of what breeds can work for you. Though I must say all service dog and or Diabetic Alert dogs aren't always or don't always have to be the typical breed so you can do some research on that in case you are looking for something else. Smaller dogs can be service dogs. I love labs but have decided this time around to go with a smaller dog. I have reviewed my two current dogs and their temperament and such don't fit the bill in my opinion. You can get expert advice on whether or not the dog that you already own could take on the job that you are wanting them to take on. I believe both links I have provided can help you or give you advice on that.

I have come to another one of those unexpected turns on our road we travel. Someone placed a "road closed" sign in my path. Why G-d I ask, I saw peace on that road I saw hope on that road..why have you allowed for it to be closed?" This is one of the things I have wrestled with lately. Sort of just pulled over had me a good cry. So now I must wipe away the tears and pull out my map and compass. "Where to now, LORD?" Which road do I take?? What about that person who wrongly put up the "road closed" sign? If anything how do I deal with it within my own heart? So here I am again at a place I am reminded that I just must trust G-d in ALL things and continue travelling along. One thing I KNOW is that G-d is always with me and that is a peace that can never be taken away. So rain or shine putting my key in the ignition, starting up my car and taking off once again. Oh and LORD thank for filling up my tank again. Now where is that detour sign...ahhh I will just head toward that mountain. :) For you oh Lord are my strong tower and my guiding light.

In service today the Rabbi spoke of a a per suite to get a lamb for Passover. The man who was with him caught the lamb and said I can hear his heartbeat with tears in his eyes. This is what sacrifice is all about can you hear the heartbeat? I began to visualize Jesus (the lamb of G-d) do who hear HIS heart beat?! Jesus who laid down HIS life for us. G-d who gave HIS only begotten son that we might be saved! Can you hear HIS heart beat?! If we would listen to the heartbeat of the word made flesh would we not be MOVED?!

I have been in a bit of a spiritual struggle lately wanting to hear from G-d not people but from HIM wanting TRUTH and only TRUTH. Praying for a burning bush if you will. To see clearly of ALL things and to be moved and to stand firm in HIM. Today the Rabbi also talked about our daily bread just like in the LORD'S Prayer. How we should be satisfied with the bread that HE gives us. So now instead of seeking a burning bush or a major vision I will be grateful for every revelation I may get as little as it may be. A piece of bread is sufficient what will I do with it? I have been wanting more to help me make a stand...but all I need is HIS daily bread and to listen to HIS heartbeat. To think of the LOVE of G-d to take hold of that and to hold it close to my heart...who cares about what others may think who cares about my own self will NO ONE can LOVE me and KNOW me more than my Abba. The less we read the bible and follow his instruction the further we get from HIS instruction the less we are able to hear HIS heartbeat. To think of Mary with her son on the cross the pain the love the life....can you hear HIS heart beat?! This is my prayer that I truly begin to hear HIS heartbeat like a child moving in our womb...the excitement the love the joy that overflows is enough for me to lay down my life just as willing to give up so much for my children how much more so than for the Father. Dear G-d put your heart next to mine so that I might hear your heart beat and be moved to truly live by following your instructions with you and in you for this is life in deed and to love you and serve you so that I might be like a mother who is pregnant with her first child who is so eager to share the good news!!! May we take the time and see our Docter(Abba, whom we can find in scripture) so that we might hear the heart beat of Yeshua (Jesus)

Sharing my heart today...Thanks for stopping by RroadWeTravel

Exodus 16:23
He said to them, “This is what the LORD commanded: ‘Tomorrow is to be a day of sabbath rest, a holy sabbath to the LORD. So bake what you want to bake and boil what you want to boil. Save whatever is left and keep it until morning.’”
Exodus 16:22-24

Exodus 20:11
For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.
Exodus 20:10-12

I am learning about the WHOLE bible and how beautifully it is woven together all with purpose LOVE and LIFE woven through out. I am beginning to actually have eyes to see the thin threads through out, by the Grace of G-d. Anyway as I am journeying along I see that "keeping the Sabbath" is for me(us)even today. I will post at a later date about my search and find :) For now I must say what a blessing!!!

So now that I see the importance I am doing what I can do to keep the Sabbath. The Hebrew days(or biblical times) begin at sundown. So Friday I get as much as I can get done before sundown. I also must do some preparation before Friday like meal planning as well as chores to be able to do that. Although I also find Friday is the day to play "catch up" Then it ends up being a race to get things done before the Sabbath "rest".

Racing to get house somewhat clean meals ready before sundown. I would like to have dinner ready around 4:00pm so I can cook and wash before sundown. I can do this because my husband does not work on Fridays. This time in the slow cooker we are having taco soup. I am make bread for today as well as a big meal. Steak bell pepper, mash potatoes, greens and bread with some wine. This is just how I am doing it at the moment I may decide to have the meal ready by sundown as I learn and grow.

So I best run away from the computer now :) and race throughout the house before the rest(Sabbath:)

February is not far from being over so I best get going. Last month I talked about getting projects or work around the house done month by month. I worked on Kitchen and dinning area in January now it is time to get to work in my living room. I want to totally gut it take everything out. Clean every corner then bring everything back in. Re-organize my shelves and the lay out of the room. That will begin today...

One of the books I have been reading about getting organized is "Organized Simplicity" As of right now you can get it free on Kindle.

I got me a long list today gonna need to get started soon. Have a great day and remember to whistle while you work!

OK so I am not a very organized person and my house can become quite a mess. My house could use a lot of home improvements as well. There are times I have felt like what is the use...times where I have been over whelmed by it all along with all that life can throw at you. I am learning despite all that as soon as I stop trying to carry it all I can move on from that mind set. The picture above are motivational quotes that I framed. I have the bible close by to help with that mindset too!

I can still make this place a sanctuary where I welcome people in. I can enjoy my living spaces and make a place where others enjoy. It will take some time, money and creativity. Little by little month by month I can get somewhere. Starting with one rewarding space to the next. Fix one little thing here and there what ever money will allow. No longer looking at the what is but the can be. Overlook the cracks..the imperfections that are out of our control. Do what you can do and move on.

January was the month to work on my kitchen and dinning area plus office area. I cleaned out my refrigerator. I also put together a little office space for me in the dinning area. You can transform anything and make it new, Personalize it. This is my place where I plan my day.





I did run out of January still more to do. This month I will be working on my living room. I should be done before the month is over so once finished I will finish doing what I wanted to do in Kitchen/dinning/office area. Just taking it step by step and month by month. Hope you will join me and visit here often. I'll check in and let you know how things are progressing at end of this month or beginning of next. (please over look my typo's as well heehee :)
