Picture of Kodiak and me!



Here are a few pictures. 1 of me and 1 of Kodiak. She is out in the area where she eats - she is just standing there all cool..........hahaha

Agility pictures

Hey Everyone, Here is a website that has some beautiful Aussies in action or with their ribbons. www.rainydayaussies.com I am so impressed and hope that Kodiak and I can get there eventually.

I am having problems posting a picture of her, but I will work and see if I can get the picture posted on here. Kodiak is now 20 1/2 months old. I can't believe how fast the time has gone and how much I love her.

Daily Devotion

This was my devotion for today - I really enjoyed it and thought that I would share it with everyone else too. I tend to try and control things in my life; which I shared just yesterday with my small group at church. Amazing how God speaks to us!
Have a great week - Kimberly

"Now I want you to know, brothers, that what has happened to me has really served to advance the gospel."
Philippians 1:12

Some things are facts of life. Tires blow out and computers crash. Teeth decay and inflation skyrockets. Ants invade picnics and people get promoted ahead of us. Some things can't be avoided.

Few of us have actual control over these facts of life. But before you totally absolve yourself from any responsibility, there's one more fact to consider: You are responsible for the way you respond to these everyday, unavoidable inconveniences. You can either give up in dismay, or you can look to your sovereign Lord, who has everything under control.

The apostle Paul assumed responsibility for his attitude toward trials. When he wrote Philippians 1:12, he knew that his response played a part in advancing the gospel - that's why he took seriously his attitude when he stumbled upon unavoidable problems - because much more was at stake. Other lives could be influenced. God was taking notice.

You may not be in prison as was Paul. However, today you may find yourself in a set of circumstances over which you have no control. The weather has ruined your outdoor plans. The traffic forces you to be late for work. The electricity went out this morning in your home. You may not be able to claim responsibility for the situation, but you can be accountable for a godly response. Just remember what's at stake.

~~~~~~~~~
Dear Lord Jesus, I realize that I have an opportunity today to advance Your Gospel by my patient response to problems. I pray that as others look on - whether my family, neighbors, or co-workers - they will see that You give me power and strength to smile through the circumstances. I know that others will be influenced by my attitude. And because You are watching, help me to honor You today in all that I do. Amen.

Kodiak cont.

Kodiak and I had our agility training class last night and it went GREAT! She has an assessment on November 8th. She will be testing out of this class and into the next class. I am so excited because she LOVES the agility training. It is so neat and ful-filling to see her do what I tell her on command and keep her eyes on me to know what to do next. I can only imagine what it's like with kids. Gosh my dog makes me happy - I'm sure my kids will make me happy too - well, when I finally have them. :) Remember - I gotta get married 1st!!! :) :) :) hahahahahahaha

Anyways, I am just so proud of my Kodiak. I can't wait to see how she's doing in a year from now. I am looking forward to competing someday with her - she's gonna LOVE it and me too.

That's all for now!!

4 wheeling and coyote chasing, plus 1 extra tidbit

Okay, so Sunday Les killed 2 snakes. 1 of them was a copperhead and the other snake - I don't know what it was - just know the 2nd snake wasn't poisonous.

Something that Les and I did last week, but I didn't have time to write about was coyote chasing on the 4 wheeler. It was so much fun. We went out on the cornfields by him with the spotlight. He was driving and I was holding the spotlight. Kodiak is running with us too. So, we're shining and we catch a pair of eyes. So, we start going towards the eyes and it looks little to me. I asked Les if it was a rabbit and he didn't know. We get closer and it stands up and it's a coyote!!!! So, Les takes off and I'm holding on to him with 1 hand and holding the spotlight on the coyote with the other hand. It was definitely an adventure and FUN!!!! If you ever get a chance to do something like - I say DO IT!!! It is a rush. We don't catch the coyote, but we still ride around with Kodiak still running. After a while Les starts to feel sorry for her and decides to see if we can get her to ride on the 4 wheeler with us. We get her up there and sat down. Then I'm talking to her and holding her on b/c she is a little scared at 1st, but that quickly fades and she LOVES riding on the 4 wheeler. Talk about a site that night. hahaha
Les driving, then Kodiak, and I'm facing the back with my legs handing off the back of the 4 wheeler. It was fun!!!

Kodiak

I wanted to post an update on my girl, Kodiak. Her and I have been in agility training at DAWG (Dallas Agility Working Group). She is learning so much and having a BLAST!!! She absolutely LOVES the training and is doing really good. It's creating a closer bond between her and I. She is learning to give me her complete attention; which is very important in this sport. She has learned to go through a tunnel (even when she can't see the other side), jump through a ring, get up on a table and stay until I give her the command to get off of it, etc. We go every Tuesday night at 7 PM and we both have a ball. I look forward to it and when she sees the place - she starts barking and pacing in the back of my explorer. I can tell she is so excited and can't wait to get out and start! :) That just thrills me so much that she likes it. I can't wait to see how far we get!!!! Les went with us last week and I think he enjoyed watching her and the other dogs too. It is neat to see her do what I tell her to and when I tell her to do it. It's amazing! Maybe I can raise dogs for a living?! I would love that!!!! I LOVE animals and would really like a horse eventually, but I don't know if that will ever happen, but at least I can dream about it, right?!?!

You can google DAWG or agility and see what we are doing. Anyways, just letting everyone know what's going on in my world. I am going to post later today about our adventure last night in chasing a coyote!!! Till the next post...............................

Girls' Night Out!!!

I went out with some of the girls that I used to dance with back in high school. We had a really good time and we went to the Cheesecake Factory in Frisco last Friday night and had a BLAST!!!!! Afterwards we went over to Kristen's house and talked some more. 1 of the girls (Kristen) - I hadn't seen in 8 yrs - since I graduated from HS. So, it was great to see her and everyone else too.

Okay, the 1st picture from L-R (Kristen, Julie, me, and Jessica)

Daily Devotion

I get a daily devotion sent to my e-mail everyday. I really enjoy reading them - at least most of the time. Sometimes they really challenge me and those challenges can be difficult too. This was today's and I really liked it and thought it applied to all of us. Have a great week!!

"It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way perfect."
2 Samuel 22:33

The annoying alarm clock blares in your ear, and you groggily reach over to fumble with the snooze button. Just a few more minutes, you think, and then I can get up and face the day. The alarm sounds again. You know you can't put it off any longer. It's time to face the inevitable. It's time to wrestle another day to the ground. But first, seek inspiration from this prayer written by Jacob Boehme, a German shoemaker who lived more than four hundred years ago:

Rule over me this day, O God, leading me on the path of righteousness. Put Your Word in my mind and Your truth in my heart, that this day I neither think nor feel anything except what is good and honest. Protect me from all lies and falsehood, helping me to discern deception wherever I meet it. Let my eyes always look straight ahead on the road You wish me to tread, that I might not be tempted by any distraction. And make my eyes pure, that no false desires may be awakened within me.

Approaching life prayerfully can help you have the following:
a day without distractions, focused only on the important
a day viewed through pure eyes
a day marked by goodness and honesty
a day of clear direction and no deception
a day without falsehood and lies
a day in which God's Word rules your mind and His truth reigns in your heart
~~~~~~~~
No one is stronger than the one who depends on God.

Dogs Days are Over or are they for us Texans?!?!

Dog Days End (at least that's what they say)
The phrase “Dog Days” refers to the hottest days of summer. The Old Farmer’s Almanac lists the traditional timing of the Dog Days: the 40 days beginning July 3 and ending August 11, coinciding with the heliacal (at sunrise) rising of the Dog Star, Sirius. The rising of Sirius does not actually affect the weather (some of our hottest and most humid days occur after August 11), but for the ancient Egyptians, Sirius appeared just before the season of the Nile’s flooding, so they used the star as a “watchdog” for that event. Since its rising also coincided with a time of extreme heat, the connection with hot, sultry weather was made for all time.

Muttin' Bustin'

My nephew just left from being here for 1 month. While he was here we did a TON of things!

We went out to a rodeo in Honey Grove, TX and he got to ride a sheep - it was so funny. He held on as tight as he could and he stayed on for 3. 69 seconds. Let me tell you - his sheep ran out of that pin so fast. I couldn't help but laugh!

Caleb really had a good time doing that and wanted to do it again!!! My little nephew is 5 yrs. old and pretty darn brave for getting on that sheep.

If you ever get a chance to watch a muttin bustin event - GO!
