He Will Not Abandon Me

-

A core fear resurfaced recently   What’s at the core is the hard stuff where the seeds that reproduce exist   I’ve been painfully reminded of what is deeply at my core. I fear that nobody REALLY wants me. I will be abandoned and alone I suppose that there  could be a myriad of reasons why such a painful philosophy is rooted in my heart.   Why I feel this way is a question that could be examined. However, it seems a more important question is whether that belief that’s a deeply rooted in me is true. Until I dig deep and honestly address the interior central beliefs I will continue to be weak and wobbly, subject to emotional instability dictated by the whims of a cruel enemy to my soul. I may also be vulnerable to having my sense of  well-being subject to the changing circumstances of life. 

I need to embark on a quest for truth to uproot lies and establish my identity on a foundation that is firm and unshakable

I find comfort in the reality that regardless of my feelings being “prone to wander “ Jesus will be with me

“…being content with what you have; for He has said, “I will never [under any circumstances] desert you [nor give you up nor leave you without support, nor will I in any degree leave you helpless], nor will I forsake or let you down or relax My hold on you [assuredly not]!” [Josh 1:5] So we take comfort and are encouraged and confidently say, “The Lord is my Helper [in time of need], I will not be afraid. What will man do to me?” [Ps 27:1; 118:6]”

‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭13‬:‭5‬-‭6‬ ‭AMP‬‬

Happy Birthday Tanner!

Today is my beloved dog Tanner's birthday. It's a nice time to reflect on how special he is, and how grateful I am to have him as an important part of my life. It's also a good excuse to "brag" about him and share some favorite pictures: This is when we first met. I can hardly believe it has been three years already! Tanner won my heart right away  He can be quite silly! Tanner loves to play... But he does his job when I need him - a very talented dog indeed! He closes the door                                                            Tanner turns on and off lights And we have even had the opportunity to teach children  about service dogs. Tanner is excellent at many things ... But he is BEST at being a faithful canine companion

Tanner the Star

As I had mentioned, Tanner and I had the privilege to talk to kids about service dogs. It was quite enjoyable. The children were an eager interested audience! I tried my best to explain what a benefit Tanner is to me. Tanner is indeed a special star demonstrating some of the things he does for me.  The teacher has a blog and posted an entry about the event. I'm sharing it with you in case you're interested: http://klette2.blogspot.com/2010/04/marybeth-and-tanner-come-to-visit.html Who could have thought that I would be blessed with such a beautiful service dog and together we would do something which I love ... interact with children.

Role Models

-
People we can emulate often are very meaningful and significant in our lives. Positive role models can motivate us to pursue excellence. They nay even instill hope for what is possible. In my career as an advocate and rehabilitation counselor, I had the privilege of working with many young people with disabilities to assist them in setting goals for employment and independent living. Often it is especially difficult for disabled youth to plan for their future because they lack a vision for what's possible. Opportunities to interact with happy successful adults with disabilities could be helpful to intill hope and encourage kids with disabilities to dream. I've wanted to be a teacher since I was a child. I absolutely loved playing school and longed to have a real class of students. As a teenager I was thrilled to volunteer in a classroom of primary aged children who were deaf. My heart soared with enthusiasm and expectation as I planned to attend college as a special education
