Merrie...seriously...ok first of all "what is Jaws"...then a SKUNK? A Good day? YES!!!
Phew! Well let's just start with the last 24 hours have been amazing! Last night, at Foundations for Spiritual Living Class, we had a practice time for hearing from God. I was helping at a table and had an opportunity to allow people to practice on me!
It was a great opportunity to receive a prophetic word! One of the words I received was exactly what I had been asking the Lord for. Very clear, Yes, you are doing the right thing. My hand is in this new nonprofit. My word in abbreviated fashion was basically..."No Holds Barred". Bar has been raised and you have ways to get over the bar. There are higher levels and the Lord is giving you the means to scale those walls (without much effort).
I had a brief discussion with a woman about using her facility for a fundraising event! I got into the car with my husband and the phone rings. It was someone offering monthly support to our organization! Woohoo!
This morning a whole bunch more pieces fell into place. We had another offer of support, a great deal to complete my IRS Form 1023 so we could be 501C3 compliant and my Bylaws, a great deal on a domain name, and so many other things!
So what's the deal with the skunk! I worked on the yard until it started raining...yes, we DO get rain in Texas..once in a while! I came in and was later looking out the back door to see if I could get out and finish another task, like water my garden...what about the rain? not enough to add up!
So, I look out and see something black and white laying in the yard....huh uh...I'm not going out there. Then I notice that not only do I need to water my plants, fragile baby tomato plants, but Jaws has swallowed his TAIL! UGH!
What is Jaws you ask? Jaws is our pool cleaner that runs around chasing unsuspecting pool loungers, inevitably cleaning where you want to stand. Someone, maybe one of our kids?? aptly named it jaws and it stuck! It sucked it's tail inside itself. Now I desperately needed to get out there and take care of it...but, there's a skunk there.
I tap on the back door...nothing...I bang carefully on the glass part of the door...still NOTHING! I carefully open the back door and sniff...no overwhelming smell, no movement....dead? I guess....hmmm....gingerly I walk out the door...still nothing....
I finally carefully go out turn off equipment, no movement, vague smell...I finish what needed to be done and head back inside....what to do with the skunk???
