Revelation? God is wondrous.

I was thinking a strange thought about God (big G), gods (little g) and humans who want to feel the power and control of a god.   I came to this wonderous conclusion about gods and control... And then I came to this crazy conclusion about Jesus and God.  

Little g, gods from mythology have this grand control.  This level of control that humans want and wish to have and bear.  The control over the elements, the control over animals and the ultimate control over life.  To bear the power of a god is to hold life over death and to that end have the ultimate choice.  To bear the power of a god is to bear the control of choice.  

Humans cannot control the system of life that is the realm of God.  He made this earth in 5 days with the last to spring a creation unlike all the others.  A creation in His likeness... A human.  And with this creation he bore a god like quality... Free Will.

Then it hit me like a ton of bricks.  The one thing we all seek is to somehow CONTROL our lives and its outcome. And the glorious gift of free will is the greatest loss of any god.  Big g God is the greatest god... He relinquished control and allowed us to choose to leave the sanction of heaven.  God gave the one thing we wish we could have... God gave us the freedom of will and freedom of choice.  God let his creation free to choose a life away from Him.  Then He sacrificed again.  He chose to send Jesus to burden Himself in the choices of a human... God relinquished control yet again.  His only son... And Jesus' greatest choice was to suffer and to free us of our sins.  

So I thought... How wonderous is God?  For God could have held us in his control but never shown is the love of a father.  As such we would never have seen the glory of God.  

God who reigns over all, chose humans to live a life of free will, relinquishing his imposition and control, allowing for you to choose against His will.  

How many humans could say the same? We hold so dearly to control as if we really have it.  We don't have control.  We have choice.  

God loves his creation so much that he gave us the choice to stay or to leave Him.  God sent Jesus to save us from our sins, regardless of our choice to look away.  

God is wonderful. 

We feel pain because of original sin.  We have love waiting to be chosen but we wait for control.  

God released his full control so to allow us to choose life, not to control life.

When it's difficult to rise from the ashes, you must surround yourself by those you love and live for...

Although I made it to the Dream Pie Pelota Fantasy Football Championship, my team fell flat on its face.  Stitchy Dazed got lost and confused and scored a measly 29 points to Pups N Suds 82 points.  Ugh, too many injuries and too many wins put my team in the position of not to pick up good waiver pickups.  

The rest of the day was filled with resting my finger and my heart.

Thought of the Day
Survival starts with support and love.  I'm forever grateful for having the love of my pup Dakota, who taught me what love and commitment really means.  I'm grateful that my family and friends support me through action, kind words, thoughts and sentiments that I feel sincerely in my soul.  The last couple of weeks of 2015 were mixed with love, joy, stress, sadness and strife.  The truth of my life is that I have more than I can ever ask for or deserve.  This life is a long road and I thank God that I was blessed with His grace and love.




Living, Laughing, Loving and 
Fighting for every opportunity to have all of the above

My Heart and Soul: My Daki Boy

I love you Dakota!

You are my handsome pup and I will love my Daki Boy forever. You gave me the gift of your time the last 2 months sharing our last holiday season.  With long walks and sitting atop the hill overlooking the valley below, you gave me joy and strength.  Thank you for being my strong willed baby boy.  My puppy, you deserve your place in heaven. 

Thank you for always loving me unconditionally. I will miss how when I couldn't find you, you were laying at my feet. I loved how you barked at the beach as a new pup and just wanted attention.  I loved how you would start up the stairs then look back and wait for me. You were always the gentlemen.  You were the meet and greet puppy at the park. You loved the splash of the sprinkler on your face. I will alway love how you greeted me by running under my legs and how I would squeeze you back. I loved that you would dance and leap up into my arms. I will miss how you would sneakily jump up to my bed when you thought I was asleep. I never minded you circling on the bed, laying down and taking up all the space. I loved having you sleep with us… Montana and I love you and will miss your love and warmth. My little red baby boy you chose me when you stayed at my feet the day I chose you from the litter of pups… You stole my heart and you will forever be in my heart and in my mind and in my soul.
