ISAIAH 65 GODS JUDGEMENT AND SALVATION.

Judgment and Salvation

Isa 65:1  I am sought of them that asked not for me; I am found of them that sought me not: I said, Behold me, behold me, unto a nation that was not called by my name. 

Isa 65:2  I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people, which walketh in a way that was not good, after their own thoughts; 

Isa 65:3  A people that provoketh me to anger continually to my face; that sacrificeth in gardens, and burneth incense upon altars of brick; 

Isa 65:4  Which remain among the graves, and lodge in the monuments, which eat swine's flesh, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels; 

Isa 65:5  Which say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me; for I am holier than thou. These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burneth all the day. 

Isa 65:6  Behold, it is written before me: I will not keep silence, but will recompense, even recompense into their bosom, 

Isa 65:7  Your iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together, saith the LORD, which have burned incense upon the mountains, and blasphemed me upon the hills: therefore will I measure their former work into their bosom. 

Isa 65:8  Thus saith the LORD, As the new wine is found in the cluster, and one saith, Destroy it not; for a blessing is in it: so will I do for my servants' sakes, that I may not destroy them all. 

Isa 65:9  And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah an inheritor of my mountains: and mine elect shall inherit it, and my servants shall dwell there. 

Isa 65:10  And Sharon shall be a fold of flocks, and the valley of Achor a place for the herds to lie down in, for my people that have sought me. 

Isa 65:11  But ye are they that forsake the LORD, that forget my holy mountain, that prepare a table for that troop, and that furnish the drink offering unto that number. 

Isa 65:12  Therefore will I number you to the sword, and ye shall all bow down to the slaughter: because when I called, ye did not answer; when I spake, ye did not hear; but did evil before mine eyes, and did choose that wherein I delighted not. 

Isa 65:13  Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, my servants shall eat, but ye shall be hungry: behold, my servants shall drink, but ye shall be thirsty: behold, my servants shall rejoice, but ye shall be ashamed: 

Isa 65:14  Behold, my servants shall sing for joy of heart, but ye shall cry for sorrow of heart, and shall howl for vexation of spirit. 

Isa 65:15  And ye shall leave your name for a curse unto my chosen: for the Lord GOD shall slay thee, and call his servants by another name: 

Isa 65:16  That he who blesseth himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth; and he that sweareth in the earth shall swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hid from mine eyes. 

New Heavens and a New Earth

Isa 65:17  For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind. 

Isa 65:18  But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create: for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy. 

Isa 65:19  And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people: and the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying. 

Isa 65:20  There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed. 

Isa 65:21  And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them. 

Isa 65:22  They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree are the days of my people, and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands. 

Isa 65:23  They shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth for trouble; for they are the seed of the blessed of the LORD, and their offspring with them. 

Isa 65:24  And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear. 

Isa 65:25  The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent's meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the LORD. 

COLOSSIANS 4 5:6

WALK IN WISDOM TOWARD THEM THAT ARE WITHOUT REDEEMING THE TIME.  LET YOUR SPEECH BE ALWAY WITH GRACE, SEASONED WITH SALT, THAT YE MEAY KNOW HOW YE OUGHT TO ANSWER EVERY MAN.  COLOSSIANS 4;5-6 

HERE PAUL IS TELLING PEOPLE HOW TO WALK AND TALK WITH OTHERS WHO AREN'T READING THE BIBLE.  

WE ARE TO WALK IN WISDOM AND IN A WAY THAT USES TIME WISELY, INSTEAD OF WASTING IT ON NON-IMPORTANT THINGS. IN DOING THIS UNBELIEVERS WILL SEE AND BE PROVOKED TO ASK US WHY WE LIVE THE WAY WE DO.  WE MUST ANSWER THEM WITH GRACE  AND WISDOM.  

PRAY ABOUT IT AND LET GOD KNOW THAT YOU ARE TRYING TO SPREAD HIS WORD AND LOVE.  

Colossians 3:16
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

The good man brings good things out of his good store of treasure, and the evil man brings evil things out of his evil store of treasure. MATTHEW 12:35

Amazing Grace - Hebrew Gospel Pearls #29 - NehemiasWall.com

THESE TWO ARE GREAT TO WATCH AND LISTEN TO .  THEY EXPLAIN EVERYTHING AND THEY ARE FUNNY TOGETHER.  THEY HELP TO UNDERSTAND GOD'S WORD AND DECIPHER IT FOR PEOPLE THAT HAVEN'T BEEN READING THE BIBLE AND FOR PEOPLE THAT ARE HAVING ISSUES UNDERSTANDING WHAT IS BEING SAID AND WHY.  

THEY FOLLOW GODS TORAH AND LAWS . 

SO IF YOU WANT TO UNDERSTAND AND LEARN, LISTEN FROM THEIR FIRST VIDEO AND FOLLOW THEM.  

GLAUCOMA

A condition where the eye’s optic nerve, which provides information to the brain, is damaged with or without raised intraocular pressure. If untreated, this will cause gradual vision loss.

Eph_1:18  The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,

I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH HAVING NARROW ANGLE GLAUCOMA. i've  HAD TO HAVE THE EMERGENCY SURGERY TO PUT HOLES IN MY EYES TWICE IN THE RIGHT EYE.  TRABECULECTOMY WHERE THEY PUNCTURE HOLES IN MY EYE TO LOWER THE EYE PRESSURE.  SINCE THEN I'VE STARTED TO TAKE VITAMINS FOR HEALTH AND WELLNESS.

GLAUCOMA IS GENERALLY HEREDITERY BUT I'M NOT SURE WHO MIGHT HAVE HAD IT IN MY FAMILY. IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN ON MY MOTHERS SIDE AS THERE WAS ALSO ISSUES WITH WEIGHT WITH SOME RELATIVES AS I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH MY WEIGHT IN THE PAST.   BUT WITH BEING OVERWEIGHT ALSO ATTRIBUTES TO DIABETES.  MY FATHER IS ON THE EDGE OF HAVING DIABETES. BUT KEEPS HIS WEIGHT DOWN.  

MY BALANCE ISN'T THAT GOOD ON MY FEET AND I CAN EASILY TRIP AND FALL IF THE GROUND IS UNEVEN OR I DON'T WALK WITH LIFTING MY FEET PROPERLY. I'VE FALLEN SEVERAL TIMES IN YEARS PAST, SOME DUE TO OUR GERMAN SHEPARD PULLING ME DOWN, TRYING TO CHASE A CAT, OR FROM ME BEING UNBALANCED AND TRYING TO MANUEVER TO A CERTAIN POSITION.

WITH HAVING GLAUCOMA, I HAVE TO WATCH MY SALT INTAKE, MY INTAKE OF CERTAIN MEDICATIONS AND SUCH.  I CAN'T TAKE ANYTHING WITH STEROIDS IN THEM AS THAT WILL RAISE MY BLOOD PRESSURE AND CAUSE ME TO HAVE AN ATTACK. IT'S MADE ME REALIZE WITH THIS DIAGNOSIS, THAT I HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF MY BODY BETTER AND BE MORE AWARE OF WHAT I'M INGESTING INTO MY BODY.  MY HUSBAND IS ALWAYS ON ME ABOUT TAKING BETTER CARE OF MY BODY AND WHAT I EAT.  I'VE GOTTEN BETTER AT THIS IN RECENT YEARS, WISH I HAD DONE THIS IN MY 3O'S THOUGH.  

ALSO ZOEY HAS GONE BLIND AS MOST PUGS DO BECAUSE OF THEIR PROTRUDING EYES.  SO IT MAKES ME EASIER TO UNDERSTAND WHAT SHE'S GOING THROUGH AND SEEING HER BE ABLE TO NAVIGATE AROUND THE HOUSE WITH HER BLINDNESS USING HER OTHER SENSES LIKE HER NOSE TO LOCATE HER FOOD BOWL AND WATER, MAKES ME REALIZE THAT MY OTHER SENSES HAVE AND WILL EMERGE AS MY GLAUCOMA PROGRESSES. 

Narrow-angle glaucoma occurs when the iris, the colored part of the eye that surrounds the pupil, bows forward, narrowing the gap between the cornea and the iris, where the eye’s drainage angle is located. Narrow-angle glaucoma is linked to the following: Iris plateau

IT HAS HELPED ME TO BE GREATFUL FOR THE BEAUTY IN THE WORLD AND FOR THE FACT THAT I CAN STILL SEE.  I'VE NOTICED THOUGH THAT I'M SLOWLY LOSING MY SIGHT , AS I AM NOT ABLE TO SEE AS WELL IN THE DARK , THINGS THAT I USED TO BE ABLE TO SEE, IT'S MORE DIFFICULT, AND I'VE NOTICED THAT I SEE THINGS THAT AREN'T WHAT THEY SEEM IN THE DARK, LIKE A BUSH THAT I THOUGHT MIGHT BE A CAT OR AN ANIMAL.  MY PERPHERIAL VISION IS DIMINSHING AND I'M ALWAYS BUMPING INTO THE EDGE OF WALLS AND OBJECTS.  

MAYBE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME TO MAKE ME MORE AWARE OF GOD AND WHAT HE'S DONE FOR ME, A WAKE UP CALL FOR ME, FOR PAST TIMES THAT I DIDN'T HEAR HIM AND NOW I DO.. 

Psa_77:4  Thou holdest mine eyes waking: I am so troubled that I cannot speak.

I WAS JUST OUTSIDE DOING SOME YARD WORK AND LISTENING TO THIS SONG.. BY DAVID CROWDER.  

THE WORDS ARE SO PERFECTLY WRITTEN THAT GOD WANTED ME TO LET YOU KNOW THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO TO A CHURCH TO WORSHIP GOD AND/OR JESUS.  HE'S IN YOUR HEART AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN.  HE'S RIGHT THERE WITH YOU, WAITING.  

HE IS AUTHOR , MAKER OF EVERYTHING, BECAUSE HE IS REAL!!! GOD IS REAL!! AND HE SENT HIS SON JESUS, TO US TO SHOW US THIS.. 

PROVIDER, PROTECTOR, HELPER , HEALER. SAVIOR AND SHELTER.. HE IS SO MANY OF THINGS AND SO SO MUCH MORE.  

SO IF YOU WANT TO HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM, TALK TO HIM.. HE'S THERE AND READY TO LISTEN. IF YOU NEED HELP , CRY OUT TO HIM AND LET HIM KNOW , I DID AND HE ANSWERED MY PRAYERS.  MY LIFE ISN'T PERFECT, FAR FROM IT, BUT I HAVE GOD AND JESUS AND THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS.

GOD IS REAL

 God hides the meaning of His word in the plain letters of Scripture’s text.

If you are not willing to first acknowledge that God is God and He is the Creator and you are a sinner, then the written words won’t have the context of an Almighty God loving His children and wanting to save them.

For “who has known the mind of the LORD that he may instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ. 1corinthians 2:16 

if your not reading the bible everyday and studying it, then you won't have god , the holy spirit or jesus in your heart.  

John 16:13-16
Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come…

GOD LEADS ME IN MY EVERYDAY LIFE AND I WALK WITH HIM EVERYDAY, MORNING, MID DAY, EVENING. 

1 Corinthians 14:37
If anyone considers himself a prophet or spiritual person, let him acknowledge that what I am writing you is the Lord's command.

YES HE IS MY COMMAND, AND I WILL GLADLY FOLLOW HIM.  HE HAS NEVER LED ME ASTRAY.. GOD IS REAL!!!

31 YRS OF SOBRIETY TODAY..

 TODAY MY HUSBAND CELEBRATES HIS 31 YRS OF SOBRIETY FROM ALCOHOLISM. AND I'M SO PROUD OF HIM, BECAUSE I'M SURE IT'S NOT EASY IN TODAYS WORLD TO STAY SOBER. THE ABOVE PICTURE IS FROM OUR LOCAL NEWSPAPER, WHICH INTERVEIWED HIM ABOUT HIS ADDICTION RECOVERY, WITH HIS BELOVED 'PUNKY' THE PUG.

WHEN WE MET IN LATE 1999, i HAD JUST MOVED TO FLORIDA FROM THE COLD NORTH, AND HE WAS EIGHT YEARS SOBER. I FELL IN LOVE WITH HIM FOR SO MANY REASONS, HIS DEDICATION TO BEING SOBER AND HELPING OTHERS DO THE SAME, WAS ONE OF THEM, BECAUSE I HAD JUST LOST MY MOM TO THIS DISEASE TWO YEARS PRIOR.  THERE'S 13 YRS DIFFERNCE BETWEEN US IN AGE, THE 13th OF 9/91 WAS THE START DATE OF HIS SOBRIETY, THE DAY OF HIS LATE FATHER'S BIRTH, AND HIS FIRST RACING MOTORCYCLE AND STOCK CAR'S NUMBERS, THAT HE BUILT, RACED, AND WON WITH, SO THAT'S HIS LUCKY NUMBER,

DURING THE 2004 HURRICANE SEASON WE WERE LIVING IN A WOOD FRAME HOUSE WE OWNED AND LIVED THRU A HURRICANE THAT TOOK A PART OF THE ROOF OFF WITH US IN IT! I FELT IT MIGHT NOT BE SAFE FOR US, SO TRISTAN  FOUND A HOUSE DOWN THE STREET THAT WAS CBS BLOCK THRU A BUSINESS ASSOCIATE OF HIS.WHO  RENTED IT TO US...AND IMMEDIATELY RODE OUT TWO MORE BACK TO BACK HURRICANES IN IT IN ONE PIECE, ALONG WITH A FEW MORE LATER ONES.  OUR 'LITTLE HOUSE IN THE HIGLANDS' THAT WE MOVED INTO WAS BUILT IN 1958, THE SAME YEAR THAT TRISTAN WAS BORN.  WE WERE MEANT TO LIVE HERE.  THIS HOUSE HAS HELD UP THROUGH SEVERAL HURRICANES AND TROPICAL STORMS SINCE THEN.  WE ENDED UP BUYING IT IN 2005 WHEN TRISTAN'S FATHER, WHO WAS IN HIS LATE 80'S, ASKED HIM TO HELP CARE FOR HIM. HIS FATHER HAD FALLEN, BROKEN HIS THIGH'S FEMUR, SO BADLY, THAT THEY HAD TO PIN/SCREW IT TOGETHER, AND  HE HAD BEGUN HAVING HEALTH/DEMENTIA  ISSUES. TRISTAN BORROWED SOME MONEY FROM HIS FATHER AND BOUGHT THE MUCH BIGGER HOUSE NEXT DOOR FOR US TO LIVE IN BUT IT NEEDED WORK SO WE RENTED ANOTHER LARGER HOUSE FOR A WHILE TO LET HIS FATHER LIVE IN WITH ROUND THE CLOCK PRIVATE CARE GIVERS HE FOUND (WE BOTH WORKED FULL TIME THEN. I WAS A CSM FOR WALMART AND TRISTAN WAS RUNNING A BUSINESS WITH FOUR FULLTIME EMPLOYEES, PLUS WE BOTH WORKED THE LIVE CATCH AND RELEASE TRAP LINES THRU OUT THE COUNTY , AND TRISTAN WAS REPAIRING THE HOUSE WE PLANNED TO ALL LIVE TOGEHTER IN. 

TRISTAN WAS IN A BAD MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT WHEN HE WAS 26 AND WAS TOLD BY THE DOCTORS THAT HE WOULD NEVER WALK AGAIN. BUT HE DIDN'T LET THAT STOP HIM, AND HE FOUGHT BACK TO BE ABLE TO WALK AGAIN, AND DID WITH ALOT OF HARD WORK AND DETERMINATION, AND THE HELP OF A VERY DETERMINED PHYSICAL THERAPIST NURSE PRACTIONER.  

 HE DEALS WITH BACK PAIN AND NECK PAIN EVERY DAY FROM THIS, BUT DESPITE ALL THAT, HE GOT SOBER ON SEPTEMBER 13th, 1991. THAT'S THE YEAR AND THE MONTH THAT I WENT INTO BASIC TRAINING!! BUT  I FRACTURED MY ANKLE ON A MORNING RUN IN BASIC TRAINING AND WAS IN A CAST FOR 6 WKS. I WASN'T ABLE TO PASS THE 2 MILE RUN AND HAD TO GET AN HONORABLE/MEDICAL DISCHARGE FROM THE MILITARY.

  THE ONE TRAIT I LOVE ABOUT TRISTAN, IS THAT EVEN IF HES HAVING A BAD DAY (AND DUE TO PAIN LEVELS HE HAS MANY) IT DOESN'T STOP HIM FROM TRYING TO MAKE PEOPLE SMILE AND LAUGH...

IT HASN'T BEEN EASY AND WE RELY ALOT ON GOD IN OUR LIVES TO GET US THROUGH THE HARD TIMES, AND WE RELY ON EACH OTHER.  WE BICKER ALOT, BECAUSE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN US, FREQUENTLY CAUSES TENSIONS TO RISE BETWEEN US, BUT DEEP DOWN INSIDE WE KNOW WE'VE GOT EACH OTHERS BACKS.  I BELIEVE THAT GOD SENT ME TO TRISTAN, AND THATS HOW WE MET, OUR RELATIONSHIP HAS ENDURED A LOT OF PAIN, SORROW AND ANGST, AND THE GOOD TIMES HAVE BEEN THE BEST ONES, OF BOTH OF OUR LIVES. WE ARE  PASSIONATE ABOUT OUR LIVES TOGEHTER AS A TEAM UNIT, AND OUR SHARED BELIEFS, AND INTERESTS, AND WHAT WE STAND FOR. ALSO WE BOTH SERVED IN THE ARMY WHICH IS A BOND TO EACH OTHER AND COUNTRY, ONLY THOSE WHO SERVED, KNOW.

WE HAVE ALWAYS BELIEVED IN OUR "HIGHER POWER" . WITH ME IT WAS AL-ANON THAT BROUGHT ME TO START TO BELIEVE AND SEE.  AS I'VE SAID BEFORE I WASN'T RAISED IN A FAMILY THAT BELIEVED OR TALKED ABOUT GOD. TRISTAN HAS BEEN MY "ROCK", HE HAS HELPED ME AND TAUGHT ME TO BELIEVE AND KNOW THAT GOD IS REAL. FOR A LONG TIME, I USED TO BLAMED MYSELF, THAT I WAS THE CAUSE OF MY MOM'S DRINKING AND DEATH RELATED TO IT , BECAUSE OF DECISIONS I MADE WHEN I LIVED WITH HER, AND HOW I TREATED HER, BUT TRISTAN SHOWED ME, THAT GOD HAS FORGIVEN ME, AND THAT BY BLAMING MYSELF, IS LIKE SAYING THAT GOD ISN'T REAL, BY NOT ACCEPTING FULLY, THE FORGIVENESS THAT HE'S GIVEN ME.  

 TRISTAN AND I TALK OFTEN ABOUT THE BIBLE AND GOD,  AND IT SEEMS LATELY, THAT WE HAVE A LOT MORE CONVERSATIONS ABOUT FAITH IN, AND OBEDIENCE TO, GOD'S WILL, AND HOW IT RELATES TO OUR LIVES, AND A WORLD GONE BATCHIT CRAZY.  

 WHEN I MET TRISTAN HE HAD A SWEET RESCUED ONE YEAR OLD GERMAN SHEPHERD, NAMED 'Maxwell', WHOM SOMEONE ABANDONED, AS A PUPPY, IN A BOX, IN A PARKING LOT! HE ALSO HAD A TOTALLY ADORABLE LITTLE SEVEN YEAR OLD FEMALE PUG, NAMED 'PUNKY'. EVERYONE... EVEN PEOPLE WHO DIDN'T LIKE DOGS ..LOOOOVED PUNKY! SHE WAS A SOBRIETY GIFT FROM A FRIEND IN ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, FOR MAKING HIS FIRST YEAR SOBER.  HE STATES THAT PUNKY KEPT HIM SOBER, BECAUSE HE KNEW THAT IF HE PICKED UP, EVEN ONE DRINK, HE WOULD BE ON THE STREETS AGAIN, AND HE DIDN'T WANT THAT FOR HIS PUG. in the last 20 YEARS, we've bought, and rescued many abused, abandoned, and unwanted dogs . we've had up to 10 at one time, when  we had two houses side by side, with a combine acre of fenced land for them to run in. I wanted shepherd pups from maxwell, because  he had such an awesome disposition, and he was getting old, so we found a female Shepherd, and bred them once. had nine pups (that was SO fun, my little 'wolf pack' ). We found homes for seven and kept the two runt ones.          Sadly dogs don't live as long as we would like them to, and by the time we had been together for 20 years, we were down to a female pug and a male German Shepard again, the same breed, gender, and number of dogs (A female pug, and a male German Shepard) that Tristan had when I met him. He has a kind, but firm way of training them, and the pic below shows how well they walked with him. I couldn't do that so well... we always ended up a tangled mess. lol. 

  

Tristan HAD SEVERAL BUSINESSES BEFORE I MET HIM, AND WHILE WE'VE BEEN TOGETHER.  HE IS A NATURE LOVER AND VERY ENVIRONMENTALLY CONCIOUS, LOVES TO SCRAP METALS AND REFURBISH/REPAIR/REPURPOSE OTHER PEOPLE'S CAST OFF'S. SINCE HE WAS A BOY, HE COLLECTED GLASS POP BOTTLES FOR CASH, AND THEN LATER, AS AN ADULT HE BEGAN COLLECTING, PROCESSING (HARD WORK), AND SELLING FERROUS IRON, STEEL AND NON-FERROUS METALS, SUCH AS ALUMINUM, STAINLESS STEEL, COPPER, BRASS, AND FROM OLDER TV'S AND COMPUTERS, HE RECOVERED COPPER, SILVER, AND GOLD. ALSO, WHEN I MET HIM, HE HAD BEEN A 'LIVE CATCH AND RELEASE' NUISANCE ANIMAL TRAPPER SINCE HE WAS A CHILD, TAUGHT BY HIS GRANDFATHER. WE HAD A BUSINESS TOGETHER FOR A FEW YEARS TRAPPING NUSIANCE ANIMALS IN SOUTHEAST FLORIDA, AND THEN CONTINUED IT FOR A WHILE IN CENTRAL FLORIDA, WHERE WE MOVED TO ESCAPE THE CRIME THAT CAME WITH THE DEMOCRATS TAKING OVER THAT AREA POLITICALLY. We both love animals DEEPLY and this is another reason why I fell in love with Tristan.    

Tristan also tries to give back by mentoring people with addiction issues, and helping people less fortunate than us, that are in need. he is also adamant about telling people the truth and being honest with them, even though sometimes people resent him for that.  he's helped many people on fixed incomes, many times out of pocket for materials, and with free labor in our area, and continues to do so today.  he does it quietly, and humbly, and He never turns a blind eye to a homeless person, and he does it because it's right, and he feels he owes God that, for all the large and small blessings god has bestowed upon him. 

 

ZOEY

 

ZOEY IS 16 YRS OLD AND STILL GOING STRONG.  I AM ALWAYS TALKING  ABOUT HER AS SHE'S THE LAST OF OUR 5 PUGS AND HAS THE ENERGY/STAMINA OF A TASMANIAN DEVIL, BECAUSE SHE DOESN'T LET ANYTHING STOP HER. 

SHE'S BEEN THROUGH 3 GENERATIONS OF GERMAN SHEPHERDS!! 

SHE'S GONE BLIND, AND SHE HAS A BAD BACK(GENETIC DEFECT FROM BIRTH) AND HER REAR LEGS ARE GIVING OUT (SEE PICTURE BELOW) SLOWLY. BUT THAT DOESN'T STOP HER.  SHE STILL EATS, PEES, POOPS, GETS LOUD WHEN SHE IS HUNGRY, AND SHE'S BEEN LIKE THIS FOR OVER 2 YRS.  SHE'S AN AMAZING PUG!  

THE REASON I'M WRITING ABOUT HER IS BECAUSE SHE TAKES UP ALOT OF MY TIME AT HOME WITH WASHING HER, FEEDING HER, AND HELPING HER WHEN SHE NEEDS IT.  SHE LETS ME KNOW.  

SHE HAS A GROWTH ON HER HEAD THAT COULD BE CANCER AND WE'RE TREATING IT WITH CALAMINE LOTION TO KEEP IT SMALL AND IT SEEMS TO BE WORKING, BUT SHE KEEPS RUBBING IT OFF BY BUMPING INTO THINGS BECAUSE OF HER BLINDNESS. 

SHE'S ON ONE CRANBERRY PILL A DAY TO KEEP HER BLADDER CLEAN AND SHE DRINKS WATER WHEN SHE NEEDS TO, AND PEES LIKE A CRACKED HOVER DAM 

I'VE WATCHED HER MOVING ABOUT AND MANUEVERING TO FIND THE WATER BOWL AND HER FOOD BOWL, SHE USES HER NOSE AND SHE KNOWS WHERE TO GO BECAUSE WE KEEP THINGS IN THE SAME PLACE FOR HER,  FOR THAT REASON. 

SHE'S TIPPED OVER THE WATER BOWL A FEW TIMES TRYING TO MANUEVER, BUT GENERALLY SHE KNOWS WHERE IT IS AND HOW TO STAND TO DRINK AND GET HER FOOTING GOOD SO SHE DOESN'T FALL OVER IN IT.  

SHE SOMETIMES NEEDS TO BE HELD AND COMFORTED LIKE WE ALL DO, BECAUSE OF HER BLINDNESS SHE GETS SCARED AND INSECURE, AND ONCE I HOLD HER AND TALK TO HER FOR A LITTLE WHILE, SHE'S OK. SHE'S CALM AND KNOWS THAT WE'RE THERE FOR HER AND EVERYTHING IS OK. 

GOD IS SHOWING US THROUGH HER, THAT DESPITE ALL THAT'S WRONG WITH HER, THAT WE HAVE TO KEEP GOING EVEN WHEN THINGS ARE BAD.  

GOD HAS SHOWN US THAT THE PRESENT TIME REPRESENTS THE PAST, EXAMPLE, WHEN WE LOST OUR LAST GERMAN SHEPARD, AVA, WE WERE AT OUR 20 YRS OF TRISTAN AND I BEING TOGETHER FROM WHEN WE FIRST MET, AT THAT TIME WE WERE DOWN TO ZOEY (FEMALE PUG)AND FALCOR (MALE GERMAN SHEPHERD) THAT WE STILL HAVE NOW.   

WE HAD  10 DOGS AT ONE TIME, 17 IF YOU COUNT ALL THE PUPS FROM WHEN WE MATED MAXWELL AND HEIDI (GERMAN SHEPHERDS) WHO  HAD 9 PUPS AND AVA AND ADOLF (WHO HAD DM) WERE THE PUPS THAT WE KEPT, PLUS WE HAD A ROTTWEILLER/ BLOODHOUND MIX AND THE OTHER 4 PUGS.)))

THE PICTURES ABOVE ARE OF HER AND MAXWELL , THE FIRST GERMAN SHEPARD, SHE TRAINED, GOT ALONG WITH.  

WHEN I MET TRISTAN, HE HAD A FEMALE PUG AND A MALE GERMAN SHEPARD.  HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE???? 

WOW 

SO JUST LIKE THIS, EXAMPLE AND REAL LIFE, THE NEW TESTAMENT OF THE BIBLE REFERS BACK TO THE OLD TESTAMENT OF THE BIBLE, THEY AREN'T SEPERATE, THEY GO TOGEHTER, AND THE NEW TESTAMENT ALWAYS REFERS BACK TO THE OLD TESTAMENT, WITH REFERNECE OF MOSES AND NOAH, AND THE COMMANDMENTS.  

GOD IS REAL AND WORKING IN OUR LIVES, WE JUST HAVE TO BE WILLING TO LISTEN AND SEE AND DO THE FOOTWORK TO MAKE IT POSSIBLE TO KEEP GOING!!! 

GOD BLESS!!
