OfF TrAcK ThIs WeEk!!!

I really didn't want to get off track, and I really have no excuses! Life just seems to move so quickly sometimes and changes are always taken place. We've had two changes recently, one very exciting and the other one not so. So since I'm already off track, I wanted to blog about those two changes this morning before I get behind even further an not blog about anything!! The first thing exciting that's been happening is with our church. We've been with our small church & the same pastor for about 14 years. We have been known as the Nomadic tribe because we have never had a building of our own. Well that recently changed. Another congregation that had a building and 31 acres lost their pastor (he quit) and since we had done a few things in the past with this congregation, they called on our pastor for a temporary trial to see how things would go. After meeting with them for about two months, they asked us if we would join their congregation and church. Wow, what a change. It has been exciting and awesome to see God's hands in everything, now reality hits though and there are lots of little details to be worked out. They also have a Daycare & so our pastor has taken over helping get it on the right track. It has given a lot of our members new meaning and purpose though. Just today Jason is over helping to do some maintenance. Thankfully we live about four miles away. Anyway, that has been a big change in our lives and it has been exciting and will continue to be exciting to see how God works and grows the church. The other thing that has been a change that hasn't been pleasant has been with our cat Rajah, his health is going downhill. He's almost 13 years old and About two months ago he developed a limp that only got worse and he was losing weight. I finally took him to the vet and found out that he had pneumonia. The vet gave him a shot and told us to switch him to only wet cat food, get some weight back on him and bring him back in two weeks. He got a little better, but when I took him back two weeks ago, he had lost more weight. The vet said "I'll give you a freebie (shot) & bring him back in two weeks, if he doesn't gain weight then there's not much else we can do." He also told us that there was a tumor in his right front shoulder, that's why he having trouble getting around and has a bad limp. (we could also feel the tumor and thought the same thing) He goes back in on Monday, he has gained weight, but his tumor has at least doubled in the two weeks and he's getting up to eat, use the littler box and that's about it. I hate to see Rajah go downhill so quickly. He's been such a loyal cat that I trust completely. He's been through bringing home all three children (and has grown to tolerate them )and he went from living in about a 900 square ft. house to last summer 1900 square ft. We had three cats at one point and with each child, the other two would start doing bad things(pooping/peeing.) Not Rajah, the only thing he did, when we brought Anna home from the hospital, he hissed at her. I know at some point we'll get another kitten, the kids have already started talking about it, but it doesn't make it any easier. He's truly part of the family and will be missed. He is Jason's cat, he goes to Jason first and prefers Jason over anyone else. Anyway, I know change is part of life, but sometimes it's not very easy.  Taken several years ago! |
