No Co-Winky Dinks

Before leaving for our trip to South Lake Tahoe on Sunday we had to drop off our dog at the kennel. She is a very spoiled house dog who is very attached to me. (I am spoiled and attached to her too!) It made me very sad to think of her missing us. It made me sad that she would not understand why she was being made to stay at a kennel, possibly all alone.

Before Tom left the house with Angel he happened upon a missing dog charm which had been on Angel's collar but it was lost more than a year ago! The dog charm has an angel on it and the charm reads "Guardian Angel, Keep My Pet Safe." Tom reassured me by saying "See, she will be just fine, how much more of a message from God do you need than that??"

When Tom returned he explained with some astonishment himself, "She will be just fine and this is no co-winky-dink either...." There was a lady dropping off her poodle at the very same time, and Tom said to me "Guess what that dog's name is?......"That dog's name is SUZIE."

Tom also overheard the lady say she would be back to pick up "Suzie" on Friday which is the same day we will pick up Angel. God knew Angel would be missing me and I would be missing her. But Angel and "Suzie" will keep eachother company!

In searching my Bible to see what the underlying message is that I am suppose to "get" I found John 14:1 which says "Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me."

Pastor Ellen told me long ago via e-mail "you are a transparent follower of Jesus" which in my typical ADHD response I said "HUH??" Pastor Ellen e-mailed back explaining "you have a hard time understanding things which you cannot see or have not experienced." To which I typed back "Ohhhh, huh?" I was still confused somewhat since I hadn't experienced much back then.

Knowing that I need tangible things in order for me to "get them" through experiencing them, God sends messages in various ways to cause me to question and wonder why. In doing so, God leads me to the section of my Bible to experience what he wants me to know.

This message from God through our dog Angel, is the first short chapter of the amazing things God is having me experience on this trip to Lake Tahoe. There is no such thing as "co-winky dinks" by the way. Instead they are God's miracles!

And while here in South Lake Tahoe for only one day, God had me experience even more of His miracles and soon those experiences will be blogged so you can see them too.

In my "transparency" God wants me to share the miracles he is doing in my life and it is my great honor to do so. Hallelujah!
