Muses: Squirrel! ... and other things.

I must make myself a mark here yet again. I seem to have been operating in a state of few and far between. few and far between indeed.

My humble and sincere apologies for my actions.
HOWEVER! with the beautiful onslaught of summertime upon us and God's gloriousness just prevailing and unraveling in front of our eyes ( well of course that happens all the time if you choose to look for Him :), but however, the glories of summer :D)

ahem... yes. Summer :).

Hmm... in the meantime friends, let me entertain you with a bit of a revelation that occured to me the other day.

Well, perhaps i should show you this clip at the start non?...:)

*update* due to potential browser malfunctions with the postage of the actual youtube clip here, i took the liberty to link it for you ... like so

Righto.
The movie UP is quite frankly one of the best Pixar - well one of the best period - movies that i've ever watched.
This of course, is one of my favourite scenes. I could thus now go on and go forth and extrapolate - but i wont. the clip speaks for its beautiful self :)

I will however, take the liberty and extrapolate on my notions.

So it was friday i believe. Just about a week ago today and i was coming home from youth group. I had to take the bus however, as i did not feel it in me to ask for a ride as most of my chums live around 15 to 25 minutes away from me or so.
In any case, the bus had dropped me off by now and i was making the remainder of my journey on foot. It was at that time in the midst of night and day during which twilight was but a half hour gone, and yet it was not yet fully night.

Almost an indigo colour which bathed the world.

It was here that i converesed with God.
Most oft God and I have conversations every day more than once just random puctuations of thankfullness and praise and need and help. And so it was on this day that i regretted not having spent quality time with him in the week prior.

As i reflected and repented of my actions, i marvelled at God's ability to always take us back and draw us in, no matter how far we go. However, our ability to always get distracted from our first love led me to think of Dog.

dear darling Dog :)

You see, just like Dog, we as human beings ( as humanity) tend to get distracted , at least i must attest that i do. I have my sights set on God. i focus on him and talk to him and spend time with him and love him... sooner or later of course, something waltzes up in my peripherals.
Be it a dashing fellow, or perhaps
a new endeavor which brings about
loss of time and takes up all my energy.
It is this, all this and more that cause me to cry "squirrel!" from the very depths of my being and i am distracted yet again from the love of my life.

The one who will always love and never judge
Me.

My Abba father and precious Jesus.
and of course, the Holy Spirit who guides me.

.... and yet, it never ceases to amaze how, i am always accepted. No matter how often it is that i cry squirrel, God is always there, beside me just waiting and nudging. Perhaps chasing the squirrel away because it is not good for me at that time, or perhaps using the squirel to remind me of him.

My God is bigger than squirels any day!

and it is to that, that i raise my toast and bid thee
Farewell dear Loves.
