mixed emotions

Well I am off to camp soon, as in tomorrow. I am excited about that. Then after all my time at camp is done I am off to Bethany. It seems so fast. Actually it seems unreal. Like this isn't happening. It is crazy. I am gonna miss home and the people here but I am gonna love it while I am gone too so I got some mixed emotions going on.
Also, my dog is gone. Yeah, she took off like a shot when did fireworks a couple of nights ago. She is normally in the house when we do em but my Mom was holding on to her outside but she was so teriffied that she took off and we haven't seen her since then, we are all sad about that. We were out looking for her til 2AM on Saturday and then again in the morning and then again in the evening, we even handed out fliers, still no sign. This is very unlike my dear Mistee. So if you see her, please give me a call.

Moving on...

Life is so odd. It has so many stages and even if you are excited for the next one everyone who has been where your going always says to stay where you are. I don't think that is right. Every stage has good points and bad, but I don't think we should try to stay in one stage if we need to be moving on. Besides what did Jesus say to do? "Go, make disciples baptising them...." we need to move on. Carry along. There is always more to see more people to meet, new sights, tastes sounds. Moving on is hard, it requires a certain amount of trust. Trust in you, trust in the world and trust mostly in God. But he has promised, "I am with you always, even til the end of the age." So why not go?

wild cat anyone?

So today my Mother and I found some kittens, four to be exact. The problem, their mother is wild and we don't want any more wild cats around. My mother and I had a thought process that was something like this: we don't want wild cats, we want tame ones so we should capture them and earn their trust. Well, the mother cat ran away and the four kitties who cann open their eyes did not. So now we have four kittens in a little home but no mother. We are currently waiting for her to come and "rescue" them and at that time we hope to catch her as well and then have a big happy, tame cat family.
