Since the beginning of January, my dog, Mocha, and I have been in training for an organization in my church called Canine Crusaders. The group trains dogs, and their owners, how to behave in a nursing home in order to go visit the residents there. Well today was the final test…and we PASSED!!!! I had no fears over my dog doing well, but I was certain I would fail pathetically. While I was extremely nervous, I guess I managed myself well enough to make it!!

Now, this is a definite case of God taking me out of my comfort zone, which a lot of us may be very familiar with. I am VERY uncomfortable around the people in nursing homes, well actually around any truly sick person. I just feel so helpless and it completely breaks my heart to see the residents in there who have no one come see them. I can not imagine what it must be like to be left alone like that. Then there are the ones who no longer know what is going on around them. When their minds fail them. It just makes it impossible for me to breathe. So now, here I go, into one of the most uncomfortable places I could find myself. And yet, everytime I have tried to find a way to get out of it, God lets me know that it is not an option. {{Heavy sigh}}

So do His bidding I will. With faith in my heart and His strength in my soul. I will do it and I will survive. He will show me I am strong with Him.

Thanks for stopping by. Take care & God Bless.
