The Divine Path of Our Cat Spotty

This is a picture of our cat Spotty, who loves to look at the back door and imagine herself outside frolickling and chasing birds. However, Spotty is now officially an indoor cat.

You see, the first thing she does when she gets outside is to find the tallest tree in the entire yard and then proceed to climb to the tippy, tippy, top literally hanging on by a limb where she can't seem to find her way down.

Oh, yes, mayhem galore here at the Lyman household when Spotty is stuck in a tree. My daughters, Ashley, 9 and Rebecca 6, quickly transform from happy little girls into a complete frenzy fearing for Spotty's life. Me, on the other hand, go straight to the garage to fetch the ladder. More than once, Spotty has climbed so high that I could not reach her with the ladder (by the way, the fire department does not rescue cats anymore). However, Spotty has her angels that surround her and have come to her rescue....more than once I might mention:)

One day, in the midst of a "Spotty tree climbing episode", the entire neighborhood came out to help but no one seemed to be able to get Spotty down. Then, one of my neighbors sons called Save-a-Pet who directed him to a local tree service company who may have the equipment to get her down. By the grace of God, this gentleman came and rescued Spotty for us:) And, he did it free-of-charge:) My daughters will forever be thankful to you Eric from Norse Tree!!

Do you ever find yourself in a position where you feel you have gotten to a point where there is no solution? A point where you feel you have gotten so far into something that there is no way out? Well, I am here..ahem....OK....well, Spotty is here to tell you that you are never too far away from a miracle! Keep believing because when you least expect it, everything can change in your favor!!!!!

Have a wonderful blessed, happy, healthy, and wealthy New Year!!!!!!!!

The Root of the Problem

So many of us walk around with our problems chained to our feet. Instead of releasing them, we allow them to block our divine destiny. Have you thought about what your divine destiny is?

Whatever your destiny is, today could be the day to your breakthrough. You may be thinking, wow, Dona that sounds great, but it will never happen to me. And, if you are trying to do it based on your strength, you may be right. People will stop loving you. People will disappoint you. Friends may abandon you. But, the the love of God will never let you go. Once you receive that, success in life and business is limitless!!

Consider Jonah who had limited vision and refused to yield to his divine destiny. He did everything in his power to keep his problems chained to his leg and look the other way instead of yielding to his divine destiny. While in the belly of a whale, Jonah did not know if he would live or die. He couldn't see past the moment. Little did he know that God had a divine plan for his life including having the whale to spew him out on to the shore, safe and sound, complete with a set of instructions on how to follow God's plan for his life.

Are you like Jonah? Do you judge your current situation with limited vision? If you are relying on your physical sight, you may be missing the blessings that God has in store for you. Seeing isn't believing.....rather, believing is seeing. With limited vision, what you are seeing is not worth watching. God is looking at you with limitless vision. He knows you and knows what is coming next. He knows the abundance and prosperity that is in your future. Nothing comes as a surprise to Him. For He "created your inmost being knitting you together in your mothers womb" Psalms 139:13.

Don't ever let the enemy tell you what you see is what you get. The enemy will try and fool and deceive you every chance he gets. Know that your strength is rooted in the most high God and will not faulter. Your vision for your life is so small compared to the vision that God has for you. Allow yourself to open up to the plan. Allow yourself the confidence in knowing that you have the creator of the Universe on your side. Allow yourself to remove your chains. You are no longer a victim. You are a victor!
