Lip service from and insect.

I went to campmeeting with the girls today around 4 oclock so I could go meet up with Jamie, and Tom and we could get started talking about getting a group together.

We had so much fun, I got there a little later than I had originally planned, so Tom had to go eat dinner.

In the mean time the puppies and I went to the little worship spot behind BV. It's so beautiful out there amongst the freshly cut grass and the trees.

The funnies thing happened again though. You must be aware of the red ants or 'fire ants' that are spread out over most of the forests of this state right? Well when they get scared, an individual ant, they spray this sort of stinging chemical, which stings a bit, but then when the skin is punctured by the mandibles it starts to burn.

Last time we were out in the woods Ava went sniffing around some of those ants and ended up with a few latched onto her face, like she was the holy-mother of all intruders. I thought it was a bit hilarious.

This time however, the ant somehow managed to get under all the fur, and grab right onto Ava's lip right in the area where you'd get a piercing, give or take.

She went yelping away, and at first I didn't know what was going on. Then when I saw her pawing at her face, I knew. I ran over and grabbed her face, and searched for the ant(s) I found one little bugger dug in pretty deep clinging onto her lip and biting like a mad biter.

I squeezed the ants head and body as I twisted it away from her poor mouth, she kept licking it and then realizing that she was licking the little bit of spray the ant had left behind. I got some water and washed her off, it was one of the highlights of my day.



Another really interesting thing happened to me today. I finally asked God to help me. I mean, I finally prayed for what I needed, and without thinking I had to do something to deserve it I just asked.
I asked for community, strong, God fearing community that I could relate to. I realized that this thing I need, this thing I need in order to help connect to God and become closer to him might not exist.

That's one of the things I've been really trying to wrap my mind around, just like with foundations. There is no more, we are what's left, and we have to create what we want, and what we need. Under Gods 'Supervision' I supppose might be the word I was looking for. His blessing sounds better.
