God works in mysterious ways!

Funny how God works...The other day, I was on my way to work and as I was praying, I asked Him about my writing. Since I had basically stopped, I was wondering if He wanted me to -continue or if it was okay for me to not be writing or what. Writing has been a real release for me in the past, but it has also been quite stressful...well...the book part of writing. So, I didn't get any big flash of lightning or booming voice, but through out the day, I had three different...very different instances come to me to encourage me in my writing. So, I guess, that is my answer

I don't have a lot of books left, not sure if that is a good thing or what, don't have ANY money to re-invest. Since I got laid off and have not had a "dependable" schedule and have let myself get stressed out over my work situation, I've neglected my writing altogether. So, now I'm working my way back to being productive in writing. I didn't realize how rusty I'd become. :)

God Loves Honey too!

After making some collections at work last week (from just a couple of folks) and knowing what a tall order the Lord had put on my plate for donations for Honey, I wondered how he would fulfill it. I knew I wasn't going to go door to door and that I hadn't heard from anyone from my email who wanted to donate yet, so I was wondering where the money was going to come from...but God had a plan. I talked with Val and she "came across" a lady that wanted to bless her with a 200% discount off of the heartworm meds! So...instead of 13.50 per pill, it is now 13.50 per 6 months worth of pills, which by the way is about how much I've collected for each dog, so all of her dogs have about 6 months worth of heartworm meds, which was my initial goal. I'd love to push it and get them a years supply, but this is a great start! Nothing is impossible with God!

Have a Heart for HUNEY

Huney has been passed around from abusive home to kill shelter to abusive home to foster home to kill shelter to rescue... The last person that adopted her from one of the shelters, had her taken from him, when a neighbor heard a terrifying scream in the middle of the night. He looked over his fence to see the man and a friend holding Honey down and cutting off her ears.

Huney is now safe with a loving young girl who has a passion for rescuing pit bulls. Having 4 others in the home, I’m sure she would be grateful for any help. She has not asked for anything, but I feel compelled to try raise donations to assist her with heartworm meds. Just her basic food must be costing her a fortune. That is why it was laid on my heart to “Have a Heart for Huney”. J Helping others do what we can’t.

Heartworm Medication is $80.00 for 6 months and vets want dogs on it year round now a days.

You can help by buying some of the medicine. She has 4 other dogs also on heartworm meds, so you can see the magnitude of the expense. Yes, it seems like a big chunk, but remember every little bit will help.

Each pill is about 13.50 Could you buy one?

You could send donations to my email by paypal using your credit card or bank card: doreentheauthor@gmail.com or if you can just give me a check or cash and I will transfer the money to her vet’s office for the meds.

Major Update

Well, I say major, nothing in the move area and nothing yet in the job area LOL, but seems like a lot has been happening. One thing new is I'm the proud new owner of a Pet Food company. Check it out..it's not just pet food, it's more than that but since I joined because of the pet food, that's what I'm calling it. www.TopNotchPetFood.com That's my name for it. Anyway, part of every sale goes to a dog rescue. That right there sold me! And, the food is human grade, which means that instead of the pet food company collecting all the food that is discarded because it's not good enough for humans to consume and making our pets eat that, my company collects only the ingredients that humans CAN consume and creates quality pet food out of that. So, I know that I'm feeding my pets a good quality food. The other thing is it's no older than 6 weeks old. Can't say that about any other brand. Who knows how long it's been sitting on the shelf?

Also, my very good friend is back in my life! Milton Niles, Author of: "The Remaking of Earth" is back in my life. He got very sick and his computer got sick and he dropped out of sight, but he is back, encouraging me to write again. I'm very thankful for his friendship!

We are taking Lucy down off her bromide a little bit, her levels are a bit high, which may be why she is stumbling around. Wrigley is doing well, still as silly as ever. We have a great dog sitter, named Zach. The kids love him!

I have several resumes out, please keep praying for a "good" job for me. I have one up for 911 dispatch in Muskegon. Interview on Aug. 30. Also, putting one in Mona Shores today for HelpDesk. :) Either one would be good. Still trying to break into the hospitals...

I'll try and keep up on my blog. Thanks for reading!
