2nd Thru-Hiker Post, The Two Missing Years

It has been a very long time since I have posted on this blog. The reason has nothing to do with getting off the path of this faith journey. The truth is that as I began my last year driving a school bus after 27 years I decide it would be good to keep a weekly journal of the blessing and things I might miss upon leaving the transportation department. It became a daily journey and left little time for this blog. But as you can see almost two years have passed, my last year of driving is over and I am well on my way to my first half year retired. My little new dog is new no longer but after two years is a trusted part of our family.

I am still confused as the purpose God had in bringing Giz into our home. But as I try and record some of the most amazing events in the journey of faith I have had this past two years I hope to share more than my life journey but share a God's loving kindness in allowing me to grow in my knowledge of him.

I hope to share some of my journal from my last year driving but one subject I want to cover well is this extremely unusual love attachment Bill and my dog Giz have acquired.

Also I would like to share some extremely unusual observation about my dog Giz and some true life lessons he has tough me. I call it " Every thing I learned about how to make God my Everything, I learned from my dog" The picture on the right is a picture of Giz being allowed buy Bill my husband to get up on my work table to visit as I am painting. Bill and Giz often come to the workshop to just check on what I am working on and Giz now knows her dad will make room for her on the table and as you can see she is very relaxed there.

There is so much to cover the this last two years. Things like asking God to help me pay off a very huge impossible bill and God used that one step of faith in believing in his ability to do just that leads to a complete life change.

There will be the long story of my well laid plans in my retired life only to have God say I have a few changes.

Why go over the past, the biggest reason is to never forget all the Lord has taught me and done for me.  To day I feel new purpose and direction, and I know that rehashing the past and what God has taught me will keep my pride where it belongs, stored in a box with a very large pad lock on it. To know the journey to this point truly is very little about me but about showing the Holiness and Glory of my God.
