Sweet girls hanging out in the sunshine while I garden

[strayfriend]

In honor of my second ever meetup with the wonderful @lanidon I dug up some old pics from the first time we got to hang out, what, nine months ago? I think I never posted these just because I captured so few good pics!

This was one stop in a long road trip and I wasn't sure my human selective rascal would handle it well, so Benny didn't get to attend. But of course the darling little lady Astrid was there, and the sweet and lovely Kunina! Seeker was out of his comfort zone in the August heat after a series of long car rides without Benny. I won't do that to him again, but he was a perfect gentleman regardless.

I think it's going to take me a while to post pics from our recent vacation just because I have the opposite problem - way too many cute pictures to choose from!

I should own Rogue because imagine him and Kunina chilling in some shallow water together, I think that could cause peace on earth...

I should NOT own Jyn because I fear the power of her and Astrid in the same house

Two very valid responses.... Honestly very wise

GIVE ME AN OBIZEN LOVECHILD

@multixkitten

send me a pair name and I’ll tell you what I think it would be like if they had a child.

Name: Rohan

Gender: Male

General Appearance: Silver hair, golden eyes, bit of a sly grin most of the time, but has a very bright and friendly smile, if he smiles properly. Tends to wear his hair in a similar style to Zen, but his hair is usually a bit longer, and a bit more messy.

Personality: He’s definitely very cheeky, playful, and loves to poke fun and tease people, but he can be immensely kind too. Also very much can also be a brat when he wants to be. Has trouble sitting still for too long. Absolutely ABHORS paperwork, and skips out on it as much as he can.

Special Talents: Very highly skilled with a sword, and multiple types of weapons, and is a very smooth talker, able to talk himself, or charm himself out of most situations.

Who they like better: A little bit of Obi since they are more similar in personality, but Zen spoils the hell out of him so it’s fairly even.

Who they take after more: Little bit more of Obi in personality, but looks are basically mixed pretty evenly.

Personal Head canon: (I have no idea tbh but I am too excited to show him to sit here and wait any longer so.)

It so happens that recently I have been reading many books of the female gender by Mrs. Kunina, for instance, and The Body by Mrs. Bakunina. The first is far from being untalented, but she writes unevenly, breaking into a gallop, and the ending is no good. The second is not very talented, but writes as if she were washing the floor à grandeau, noisily wringing out the black-wet rag over a bucket, from which she then lets the reader drink: altogether a boring and crippled book. My translator [Doussia] Ergaz published (in French) a book of stories, which were praised by [Mikhail] Osorgin (whom she also translates). Also, everything written by Virginia Woolf and Katherine Mansfield. You might read, say, Orlando: this is an exemplar of first-rate poshlost’. Mansfield is better, but there is also something terribly irritating about her, a banal fear of banality and this flowery sweetness. Her Journal deserves some attention. I even felt like writing an essay about these ladies, but I kept myself from doing it.

Kalau kamu datang, aku berjanji tidak akan bertanya kenapa baru sekarang.

Kalau kamu datang, aku berjanji tidak akan membuatmu berdiri di depan pintu terlalu lama.

Kalau kamu datang, aku berjanji tidak akan bertanya, hati mana saja yang sudah kau lewati untuk sampai disini

Karena dengan langkahmu. Aku terbangun, dari mati suri yang kunina bobokan sendiri

Kalau kamu datang, tolong jangan pergi. Aku lelah menjaga pintu.

4. Ukubaluleka kokwahlulela kukaNkulunkulu ezinsukwini zokugcina kungabonakala emiphumeleni efezwe ngumsebenzi kaNkulunkulu wokwahlulela ezinsukwini zokugcina

(1) Umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu wokwahlulela ezinsukwini zokugcina wenzelwa ukuhlanza, ukusindisa kanye nokuphelelisa umuntu, kanye nokwenza iqembu labanqobayo.

Izikhombo Zamavesi EBhayibheli:

“Ngenxa yokuthi niligcinile izwi lokubekezela kwami, Nami ngizonigcina ngehora lokulingwa, elizofika ezweni lonke, ukubalinga labo abahlala emhlabeni. Bheka, ngiyeza masinyane: bambelela kulokho onakho, ukuze kungabi namuntu ozothatha umqhele wakho. Lowo onqobayo ngizomenza insika ethempelini likaNkulunkulu wami, futhi angeke esaya ngaphandle: futhi ngizobhala kuye igama likaNkulunkulu wami, negama lomuzi kaNkulunkulu wami, okuyiJerusalema elisha, elizovela ezulwini kuNkulunkulu wami: futhi ngizobe sengibhala kuye igama lami elisha” (IsAmbulo 3:10-12).

“Laba yilabo abangazange bangcoliswe yisifazane; ngoba basemsulwa. Labo yilabo abalandela iWundlu lapho liya khona. Laba bahlengwa phakathi kwabantu, bayizithelo zokuqala kuNkulunkulu nakuWundlu. Kanti emilonyeni yabo akutholakalanga manga: ngoba abanasici phambi kwesihlalo sobukhosi sikaNkulunkulu” (IsAmbulo 14:4-5).

Amazwi KaNkulunkulu Abalulekile:

Namuhla uNkulunkulu uyasahlulela, futhi anisole, futhi anilahle, kodwa yazi ukuthi ukulahlwa kwakho kwenzelwa ukuba ukwazi ukuzazi. Ukulahlwa, isiqalekiso, isahlulelo, ukusolwa konke lokhu kwenzelwa ukuba uzazi, ukuze isimo sakho sikwazi ukuguquka, futhi ngaphezu kwalokho, ukuze uzazi ukuthi ubaluleke kangakanani, futhi ubone ukuthi zonke izenzo zikaNkulunkulu zilungile, futhi zihambisana nesimo Sakhe nezidingo zomsebenzi Wakhe, ukuthi usebenza ngokuhambisana necebo Lakhe lensindiso yabantu, futhi ukuthi unguNkulunkulu olungileyo othanda abantu, nosindisa abantu, owahlulela futhi asole abantu. Uma nje bewazi ukuthi unesikhudla esiphansi, nokuthi ukhohlakele futhi awulaleli, kodwa awazi ukuthi uNkulunkulu ufisa ukucacisa insindiso Yakhe ngokwahlulela nokusola akwenza kuwe namuhla, ngeke ube nayo indlela yokuzwa, okungenani ukwazi ukuqhubekela phambili. UNkulunkulu akezelanga ukuzobulala, noma ukubhubhisa, kodwa ukukwahlulela, ukusola, nokusindisa. Ngaphambi kokuphothula uhlelo Lwakhe lokuphatha oluneminyaka engu-6000 ngaphambi kokuba acacise isiphetho sesigaba ngasinye sabantu. Umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu emhlabeni ungenxa yensindiso, konke kwenzelwa ukwenza labo abamthandayo baphelele ngokugcwele, nokubabuyisela embusweni Wakhe. Noma ngabe iyiphi indlela uNkulunkulu asindisa ngayo abantu, konke kwenzelwa ukuthi bahlukane nemvelo kaSathane endala; okungukuthi, ubasindisa ngokubenza bafune impilo. Uma ungafuni ukuphila ngeke ube nendlela yokwamukela insindiso kaNkulunkulu. Insindiso umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu Uqobo Lwakhe futhi ukufuna impilo yinto abantu okufanele babe nayo ukuze bamukele insindiso. Emehlweni abantu, insindiso iluthando lukaNkulunkulu, futhi uthando lukaNkulunkulu alikona ukusola, ukwahlulela, nokuqalekisa; insindiso kufanele ibe nothando, ububele, futhi, ngaphezu kwalokho, amazwi enduduzo, futhi kufanele lube nezibusiso ezingenamkhawulo oziphiwa uNkulunkulu. Abantu bakholelwa ukuthi uma uNkulunkulu esindisa abantu ukwenza lokhu ngokubathinta futhi abenze banikele ngezinhliziyo zabo kuYe, ngezibusiso nomusa Wakhe. Okungukuthi, uma ethinta abantu uyabasindisa. Insindiso enjengale yinsindiso lapho kunokuhweba okuqhubekayo. Uma nje uNkulunkulu ekupha kona kuphinda phindwe ngamakhulu lapho abantu bengena ngaphansi kwegama likaNkulunkulu, futhi bazame ukwenza kahle kuNkulunkulu futhi bamnike udumo. Lokhu akuyona intando kaNkulunkulu kubantu. UNkulunkulu ufike emhlabeni ukuzosebenza ukuze asindise abantu abakhohlakele—awekho amanga kulokhu; uma kungenjalo, ngokuqinisekile ngeke azokwenza umsebenzi Wakhe ngoKwakhe. Ngaphambilini, indlela Yakhe yensindiso yayikhombisa uthando olukhulu nesihe, kanjalo wanikeza uSathane konke okwakhe ngokushintshisana ukuze azuze abantu bonke. Namuhla akufani nesikhathi sangaphambili: Namuhla, insindiso yenu yenzeka ngezinsuku zokugcina, ngesikhathi kuhlewa ngamunye ngokwemvelo yakhe; izindlela zensindiso yakhoazilona uthando noma isihe, kodwa ukusola nesahlulelo, nesihawu sokushaya, kodwa nazi ukuthi kulokhu kushaya okungenanhliziyo asikho isijeziso nesincane, nikwazi lokho kungakhathaliseki ukuthi amazwi Ami alukhuni kangakanani, okwehlela kunina kungamagama nje alukhuni kakhulu kunina, nazi ukuthi, akukhathaliseki ukuthi lukhulu kangakanani ulaka Lwami, okwehlela nina kusangamazwi emfundiso Yami, akuyona inhloso yami ukunilimaza, noma ukunibhubhisa. Akulona iqiniso leli? Nazi ukuthi namhlanje, noma isahlulelo esilungile noma ukungabi nanhliziyo noma ukusola, konke kungenxa yensindiso. Akukhathaliseki noma namuhla kunohlelo lomuntu ngamunye ngokwemvelo yakhe, noma ukuveza obala izinhlobo zabantu, zonke izinkulumo zikaNkulunkulu ngomsebenzi zenzelwa ukusindisa labo abamthanda ngokweqiniso uNkulunkulu. Isahlulelo esilungile senzelwa ukuhlanza abantu, ukulungiswa kwenhliziyo embi kwenzelwa ukuhlanzwa kwabantu, amazwi alukhuni noma ukusola konke kwenzelwa ukuhlanza, nangenxa yensindiso. Futhi, indlela yensindiso ayifani nesikhathi esedlule. Namuhla, isahlulelo esilungile siyakusindisa, futhi yithuluzi elihle lokunihlukanisa ngamunye ngokwemvelo yakhe, ukusola ngonya kuletha insindiso ephakeme kakhulu—futhi uzothini uma usubhekene nobuso bokusola nesahlulelo? Awuyijabulelanga insindiso kusukela eqaleni kuze sekugcineni? Nimbonile uNkulunkulu esimweni somuntu futhi nabona engumninimandla onke nabona nobuhlakani bakhe, ngaphezu kwalokho, nizwile ukushawa ngokuphindiwe nokuyalwa. Kodwa aniwutholanga umusa omkhulu na? Izibusiso zenu azizinkulu ukwedlula abanye na? Umusa wenu mkhulu kunodumo negcebo eyajatshulelwa uSolomoni! Cabanga: uma inhloso Yami yokuza bekungukuzonisola nokunijezisa, hhayi ukunisindisa, kungenzeka kanjani ukuthi izinsuku zenu zifinyelele esikhathini eside kangaka? Beningakwazi yini nina, zidalwa ezinesono zenyama negazi, ukusinda nibe khona namuhla? Uma inhloso bekungukunijezisa, bengizophendukelani ngibe ngokwenyama futhi ngiqale umsebenzi omkhulu kangaka? Ingabe ngeke kuthathe nje izwi elilodwa ukunijesiza nina bantu? Ngingaba semqondweni wokunibhubhisa ngemva kokunisola? Aniwakholwa yini la mazwi Ami namanje na? Ngingahlenga abantu ngothando nesihawu? Noma Ngingasebenzisa ukubethelwa ukuhlenga abantu? Ingabe imvelo Yami elungileyo ayingcono yini ukwenza abantu bangilalele ngokuphelele. Ingabe iyakwazi ukuhlengisisa abantu kangcono?

Nakuba amazwi Ami eqinile, akhulunyelwa insindiso yabantu, njengoba ngikhuluma amazwi futhi ngingajezisi inyama yabantu. La mazwi enza abantu baphile ekukhanyeni, ukuba nazi ukuthi ukukhanya kukhona, ukuba nazi ukuthi ukukhanya kuyigugu, ikakhulu nazi inzuzo yala mazwi kubantu, nokwazi ukuthi uNkulunkulu uyinsindiso. Nakuba sengiwakhulumile amazwi amaningi okusola nesahlulelo, akenzelwanga nina. Ngize ukuzokwenza umsebenzi Wami, nokukhuluma amazwi Ami, nakuba amazwi Ami eqinile, akhulunywa ukuze ahlulele inkohlakalo yenu nokuhlubuka kwenu. Inhloso Yami yokwenza lokhu kusangukusindisa abantu, inhloso Yami akusiko ukulimaza abantu ngamazwi Ami. Amazwi Ami aqinile ukuze kube khona imiphumela efezwa umsebenzi Wami. Kungokusebenza ngale ndlela kuphela lapho abantu bengakwazi khona ukuzazi futhi bengahlukana nesimo sabo sokuhlubuka. Okubaluleke kakhulu ngalo msebenzi wamazwi ukuvumela abantu ukuthi benze iqiniso ngemva kokuliqondisisa, banze izinguquko esimweni sabo, futhi bazuze ulwazi ngabo uqobo nomsebenzi kaNkulunkulu. Ukusebenza ngokukhuluma kungaveza ubudlelwane phakathi kukaNkulunkulu nabantu, amazwi kuphela angakwazi ukuchaza iqiniso. Ukusebenza ngale ndlela kuyindlela elunge kakhulu ekunqobeni abantu; ngaphandle kwamazwi. Ayikho enye indela yokunikeza abantu ukuqonda kweqiniso okucace kangconywana nonsebenzi kaNkulunkulu, ngakho-ke esigabeni Sakhe sokugcina somsebenzi, uNkulunkulu ukhuluma kubantu ukuze avulele umuntu wonke amaqiniso nezimfihlakalo abangaziqondi, ubavumela ukuthi bazuze indlela eyiqiniso nempilo evela kuNkulunkulu, nokwanelisa intando kaNkulunkulu.

kwesithi “Kufanele Ubeke Eceleni Izibusisio Zesimo Futhi Uqonde Intando KaNkulunkulu Yensindiso Yomuntu” encwadini ethi Izwi Livela Lisenyameni

Eqinisweni, umsebenzi owenziwa manje owokuthi abantu bafulathele uSathane, bafulathele ukhokho wabo omdala. Zonke izahlulelo zezwi zihlose ukudalula isimo esikhohlakele sesintu nokwenza abantu baqonde isiqu sempilo. Lezi zahlulelo eziphindaphindiwe zonke zigwaza izinhliziyo zabantu. Isahlulelo ngasinye sinomthelela ngqo emphumeleni wabo kanti sihloselwe ukudala amanxeba ezinhliziyweni zabo khona bezoyeka zonke lezo zinto ngaleyo ndlela bagcine beyazi impilo; bazi lo mhlaba ongcole kangaka, futhi bazi ubuhlakani bukaNkulunkulu nokuba nguSomandla futhi bazi lesi sintu esonakaliswe nguSathane. Ngokwanda kwalolu hlobo lwesijeziso nesahlulelo, yilapho inhliziyo yomuntu ingalimala kakhulu futhi yilapho umoya wakhe ungaphaphanyiswa. Ukuphaphamisa imimoya yalaba bantu abakhohlakele ngokweqile futhi abakhohliswe ngokujulile, yinhloso yalolu hlobo lokwahlulela. Umuntu akanamoya, okusho ukuthi, umoya wakhe wafa kudala kanti akazi ukuthi kukhona izulu, akazi ukuthi kukhona uNkulunkulu futhi akazi nangempela ukuthi uyazabalaza egodini lokufa; kungenzeka kanjani ukuthi azi ukuthi uphila kulesi sihogo esibi emhlabeni? Kungenzeka kanjani ukuthi azi ukuthi lesi sidumbu sakhe esibolayo sinani, ngenxa yokukhohlakala kukaSathane, sesiwele eHayidesi yokufa? Kungenzeka kanjani ukuthi azi ukuthi yonke into emhlabeni yoniwe yisintu nokuthi ngeke iphinde ilungiseke? Futhi kungenzeka kanjani ukuthi azi ukuthi uMdali uze emhlabeni namhlanje ukuzofuna idlanzana labantu abakhohlakele angabasindisa? Nangemva kokuba umuntu esezwe yonke inhlobo yokucwengwa nokwahlulelwa, isazela sakhe esifiphele, asithinteki nakancane, futhi sicishe singakwazi nhlobo ukuphendula. Isintu sikhohlakele ngokweqile! Lolu hlobo lokwahlulelwa lufana nesichotho esinesihluku esisuka esibhakabhakeni, luwusizo olukhulu kakhulu kumuntu. Ngaphandle kokwahlulela abantu kanje, ngabe akukho mphumela futhi bekuyoba nzima kakhulu ukusindisa abantu kuleliwa losizi. Ngaphandle kwalo msebenzi, bekuzoba nzima kakhulu ukuthi abantu baphume eHayidesi ngoba izinhliziyo zabo kade zafa kudala kanye nemimoya yabo kudala yaxovwa ngezinyawo nguSathane. Ukusindisa wena osubishe ekujuleni kokonakala kudinga ukuthi umenyezwe kanzima, wahlulelwe ngomfutho, yilapho-ke kuphela leyo nhliziyo yakho ebanda qa iyophaphama. Inyama yakho, izifiso zakho eziwukumosha, umhawu wakho, inkanuko yakho kwakhele kwajula kuwe. Lezi zinto zilawula inhliziyo yakho njalo njalo ngendlela yokuthi awunamandla okulahla lelijoka laleyo micabango elwayo futhi ephuphile. Awufisi ukushintsha isimo sakho samanje, ube futhi ungafisi ukuphunyuka ekuqhutshweni ubumnyama. Umane uboshiwe yilezo zinto.

kwesithi “Abaphelelisiwe Kuphela Abangaphila Impilo Enohlonze” encwadini ethi Izwi Livela Lisenyameni

Ebhekene nesimo somuntu nangendlela abheka ngayo uNkulunkulu, uNkulunkulu wenze umsebenzi omusha, uvumela umuntu abe nolwazi kanye nomthobela Yena, kanjalo nothando nobufakazi. Yingakho, umuntu kufanele abhekane nokucwengwa nguYe uNkulunkulu, kanjalo nokwahlulelwa nguYe, ukumazi kanye nokuthenwa nguYe, ngaphandle kwalokho umuntu ngeke abe nakho ukumazi uNkulunkulu, futhi ngeke akwazi ukumthanda ngokweqiniso kanye nokufakaza ngaYe. Ukucwengwa nguNkulunkulu komuntu akukona nje okokuzuzisa uhlangothi olulodwa, kodwa kunomphumela onezinhlangothi eziningi. Kungale ndlela kuphela lapho uNkulunkulu enza umsebenzi wokucwenga kulabo abazimisele ukufuna iqiniso, ukuze ukuzimisela komuntu kanye nothando kwenziwe kuphelele nguNkulunkulu. Kulabo abazimisele ukufuna iqiniso, nalabo abalangazelele uNkulunkulu, ayikho into ebaluleke ngaphezu kwale, noma ewusizo ukwedlula, ukudlula ukucwengwa. Isimo sikaNkulunkulu asaziwa noma asiqondwa kalula ngumuntu, ngoba uNkulunkulu, ekugcineni, unguNkulunkulu. Ekupheleni kwakho konke, akwenzeki ukuthi uNkulunkulu abe nesimo esifanayo nesomuntu, yingakho kungelula ukuba umuntu asazi isimo saKhe. Iqiniso umuntu akazalwa nalo, futhi akulula ukuba liqondwe yilabo abangcoliswe nguSathane; umuntu akanalo iqiniso, futhi akanawo amandla okuphila ngeqiniso, futhi uma engahlupheki, futhi angacwengwa noma ahlulelwe, lapho-ke amandla akhe ngeke apheleliswe. Kubo bonke abantu, ukucwengwa kubuhlungu, futhi kunzima ukukwemukela—kodwa noma kunjalo kungesikhathi sokucwengwa lapho uNkulunkulu enza isimo saKhe sokulunga sicace bha kumuntu, futhi azise nomuntu izidingo nezimfuno zaKhe, futhi ahlinzeke ngokukhanya okuthe xaxa, kanye nokuthenwa nokusebenzelana; ngokuqhathaniswa phakathi kwamaphuzu namaqiniso, unikeza umuntu ulwazi oluthe xaxa ngaye nangeqiniso, aphinde anikeze umuntu ukuqonda okukhulu ngentando kaNkulunkulu, ngaleyo ndlela avumele umuntu ukuba abe nothando lweqiniso nolumsulwa lukaNkulunkulu. Lezi yizinhloso zikaNkulunkulu lapho enza ukucwengwa kwethu. Wonke umsebenzi awenzayo uNkulunkulu unezinhloso kanye nokubaluleka kwawo; uNkulunkulu akawenzi umsebenzi ongenamsebenzi nanhloso, futhi akawenzi umsebenzi ongeke uhlomulise umuntu. Ukucwengwa akuchazi ukususa abantu phambi kukaNkulunkulu, futhi akuchazi ukubashabalalisa esihogweni. Kuchaza ukushintsha isimo somuntu ngesikhathi sokucwengwa, ukushintsha izintshisekelo zakhe, imibono yakhe yakudala, ukushintsha uthando lwakhe ngoNkulunkulu, kanye nokushintsha impilo yakhe yonke. Ukucwengwa ukuvivinywa kwangempela komuntu, kanye nendlela yangokoqobo yokuqeqeshwa, futhi kungesikhathi sokucwengwa kuphela lapho uthando lwakhe lungenza umsebenzi walo ophelele.

kwesithi “Ukuthola Ukucwengisiswa Kuphela Okungenza Umuntu Athande UNkulunkulu Ngokweqiniso” encwadini ethi Izwi Livela Lisenyameni

Lapho uNkulunkulu enza umsebenzi wokucwenga umuntu, umuntu uyahlupheka, uthando lwakhe ngoNkulunkulu luba lukhulu, futhi amandla amakhulu kaNkulunkulu enziwa acace kumuntu. Lapho kuncipha ukucwengwa komuntu, luyancipha nothando lwakhe ngoNkulunkulu, futhi aba mancane namandla kaNkulunkulu enziwa abe sobala kuye. Lapho kuba kukhulu ukucwengwa kwakhe nobuhlungu nalapho kwanda usizi lwakhe, luyojula nakakhulu uthando lwakhe lweqiniso ngoNkulunkulu, luyoba qotho nakakhulu ukholo lwakhe kuNkulunkulu, lujule nakakhulu ulwazi lwakhe ngoNkulunkulu. Ezintweni enizodlula kuzo, nizobona ukuthi labo abadlula ekucwengweni okukhulu nasezinhlungwini, nokusebenzelana okukhulu kanye nesiyalo, bamthanda ngojulile uNkulunkulu, futhi baba nolwazi olunzulu kanye nokuqonda ngoNkulunkulu. Labo abangakaze badlule kunoma yikuphi ukusebenzelana kodwa abanolwazi olungatheni, yilokhu kuphela abangakusho: “Nkulunkulu muhle kakhulu, abantu ubanika umusa ukuze bajabule Ngaye.” Uma abantu bedlule ekusebenzelaneni nasesiyalweni, kusho ukuthi bayokwazi ukukhuluma ulwazi lweqiniso ngoNkulunkulu. Ngakho lapho umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu umangalisa ngokwengeziwe kumuntu, uba yigugu futhi ubaluleke nakakhulu; lapho ungaqondakali ngokwengeziwe kini futhi ungahambisani kakhulu nemicabango yenu, lapho umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu ukwazi kakhulu khona ukuninqoba, ukunizuza, futhi uniphelelise. Incazelo yomsebenzi kaNkulunkulu ibanzi kakhulu! Ukube akamcwenganga ngale ndlela umuntu, ukube akasebenzanga ngale ndlela, umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu ubungeke ube namiphumela futhi ubungeke ubaluleke. Lesi isizathu sencazelo engajwayelekile yokukhetha Kwakhe iqembu labantu ngezinsuku zokugcina. Ngokwedlule, kwathiwa uNkulunkulu wayezokhetha futhi alizuze leli qembu. Lapho uba mkhulu umsebenzi awenza kini, luyajula futhi luhlanzeke nakakhulu uthando lwenu, futhi uba mkhulu umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu, umuntu ukuthanda kakhulu ukuhlakanipha Kwakhe futhi luyajula nolwazi lomuntu Ngaye. Phakathi nezinsuku zokugcina, iminyaka engu-6 000 yecebo likaNkulunkulu lokuqondisa iyophela. Kungenzeka yini iphele kalula kanjalo? Lapho enqoba isintu, ingabe umsebenzi Wakhe uyophela? Ingabe kuyoba lula kanjalo? Abantu bacabanga ukuthi kulula kakhulu, kodwa lokho okwenziwa uNkulunkulu akulula ngaleyo ndlela. Akunandaba ukuthi kukuyiphi ingxenye yomsebenzi kaNkulunkulu, konke akuqondakali kumuntu. Ukube benikwazi ukukuqonda, umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu ubungeke ubaluleke noma ube yigugu. Umsebenzi owenziwe uNkulunkulu awuqondakali, awuhambisani nhlobo nemibono yenu, futhi lapho ushayisana nemibono yenu, ukufakazela nakakhulu ukuthi umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu unenjongo; ukube ubuhambisana nemibono yenu, ubungeke ube nenjongo. Namuhla, nizwa sengathi umangalisa kakhulu, futhi lapho umangalisa, yilapho nicabanga khona nakakhulu ukuthi uNkulunkulu akaqondakali, futhi niyabona ukuthi zinkulu kangakanani izenzo zikaNkulunkulu. Ukube Wenza umsebenzi ngokunganaki ukuze anqobe kuphela abantu, ngemva kokuqedwa kwalo msebenzi, kusho ukuthi umuntu ubengeke akwazi ukubona ukubaluleka komsebenzi kaNkulunkulu. Nakuba niye nacwengisiswa kancane namuhla, kuyinzuzo enkulu ekukhuleni kwempilo yenu—ngakho ubunzima obunjalo buyisidingo esikhulu kini. Namuhla, nithole ukucwengwa kancane, kodwa nakanjani kamuva nizokwazi ukubona ngempela izenzo zikaNkulunkulu, futhi akugcineni niyothi: “Izenzo zikaNkulunkulu zimangalisa kakhulu!” Lawo kuyoba amazwi asezinhliziyweni zenu. Ngemva kokubona ukucwenga kukaNkulunkulu isikhashana (uvivinyo[a] lwezikhonzi nezikhathi zokulungiswa), abanye abantu ekugcineni bathi: “Kunzima ngempela ukukholelwa kuNkulunkulu!” Lobu “bunzima” buveza ukuthi izenzo zikaNkulunkulu aziqondakali, ukuthi umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu unenjongo enkulu futhi uyigugu, futhi kufaneleka kakhulu ukuthi ube yigugu kumuntu. Uma, ngemva kokuba ngenze umsebenzi omkhulu kangaka, ngingenalo noluncane ulwazi, ingabe umsebenzi Wami usabalulekile? Kuyokwenza uthi: Kunzima ngempela ukukhonza uNkulunkulu, izenzo zikaNkulunkulu zimangalisa kakhulu, uNkulunkulu uhlakaniphe ngempela! Unothando olukhulu! Uma, ngemva kokulubona isikhashana, ukwazi ukusho amazwi anjalo, lokho kufakazela ukuthi uwuzuzile umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu okuwe.

August 2020 camping

Another camping trip, another wall of text for my thoughts because the last one was really nice feeling to write out.

I really do have the best dogs. They make all of my outdoor adventures more enjoyable. <3 <3

Headed up Friday and added 2 hours to the drive so we could make a scenic stop+hike+ice cream. I’m normally not one for midday hikes in the summer, but we were north enough and having storms in the area so there was a cool breeze and it was overcast. One portion of the trail was rated difficult but Rogue took it with ease and I made sure he had frequent creek stops and he submerged at one point which helped refresh him.

On the way back, we stopped for a breather and Jyn and I engaged in our longest personal play session to date! Usually she starts biting too hard at my hands so we have to stop, but there was some loose dirt that had been added to the trail recently and I encouraged her to zoomie on it instead of biting and she took the direction well and we had a blast! The rest of the time both were on leash as the trail was too busy to allow for off-leash time.

Which was totally fine because they got to be off-leash the entire time at the campsite! Jennie’s friends booked the site through HipCamp.com, which seems to be an Airbnb of camping. People can rent out space on their properties so that where we were: in someone’s 32 acre section of woods and it was lovely. They provided us with tents, tables, chairs, ice, firewood, a double seater outhouse, and allowed dogs to be off leash under voice control. Their land backed right up to a state forest. Due to time and weather we didn’t get to explore as much of it as I would have liked to, but I would definitely love to visit again!

Rogue notes

Our friends brought their two rescue Boston Terriers and the first few minutes were a bit of confusion from my two pups with all the snorting that sounded like snarling, but they got it figured out quickly and all four enjoyed playing together every day. Rogue was energetic like he hasn’t been in months thanks to the cool weather.

He’s a camping pro by now. It’s his third camping trip with us. He dug a shallow bed in the dirt, plopped down by the fire, and got up when he wanted to solicit pets and food from us. He was also good about getting up when he needed to potty and going an appropriate distance away into the woods to take care of business. He did try to sneak onto the air mattress a couple times and screamed when I pushed him off. Very dramatic... The second night was cold, over 20 degrees colder than we have gotten used to in the summertime, so I layered a blanket and towel on him and he wore a light coat. That seemed to keep him comfortable. One evening he heard gunshots in the distance so I put him into the car to relax in a safe space, which he appreciated. He was still picky about his food and ate maybe one full meal per day, usually only because I mixed our food into it. (He’s been picky during the hot weather this year so hopefully he’ll go back to his no nonsense eating habits once it cools down again.) It was nice to have his CBD oil on hand for thunderstorms and any hiking aches.

Jyn notes

Jyn on the other hand absolutely gorged herself on the free fed kibble left out for the Bostons. In one day I believe she ate about 3 times the amount she normally would get. Her belly was distended, she was gassy, and oh so pleased with herself. She only needed a few reminders to stay close to the campsite, already an improvement from last time. She learned to lay closer to the fire if she wanted to warm up. She did not resource guard me or the car! But she did nearly get into a scuffle with one of the Bostons over a bully stick. My management mistake, so it didn’t happen again. Her new thing was alarm barking when the camp host showed up to check on us. He was an older gentleman, very nice and gentle demeanor. Rogue ran up to him like a beloved long lost friend. Jyn arooed like a Beagle but wasn’t aggressive at all, just suspicious. She would approach and then dart back to me but never looked like she was going to escalate more than a bark. The second time the host came by Jyn was in the car eating so I let her have her fit in there and let her out when she was calm. I will keep an eye on this behavior but since it wasn’t aggressive at all, I don’t think I really mind being alerted by her. I think it was appropriate given the situation: we were in “our spot” and a stranger approached suddenly. Jyn enjoyed sleeping in our sleeping bags. She did wake up and throw up on the outside of my bag (I shoved her out so fast the moment I woke up and heard her) the second night, probably due to all of the overeating she had done, and while I was half asleep looking for something to clean it with, she ate it all back up which was maddening in the moment and pretty funny looking back on it later. Overall, her recall was about 98% for the entire trip.

Another interesting behavioral moment I witnessed was Jyn and one of the Bostons investigating toads and their owner came over and scolded the Boston who was attempting a murder by that point. In reaction to the scolding, Jyn threw out every appeasement behavior in the book, groveling on the ground in front of the person even though the scolding wasn’t being directed at her. I haven’t ever seen her do that before, since I never have corrected her like that, so it was interesting to see. I ended up calling her over to me and boosting her confidence with some pats and verbal praise. She bounced back immediately. 

On the way home, we stopped to meet @goblin-dogs‘ Kunina and Astrid. They are all sweethearts 12/10 highly recommend. The dogs got on swimmingly, as if they had known each other always. We had a nice hike, enjoyed brunch, and went to a dog park. Cannot wait to do it again, hopefully sometime soon! 

Both Rogue and Jyn were fantastic in the car. It’s been a while since we’ve all road-tripped together. The last time would have been when we picked up Jyn to bring her home. I have been slow on car crate training with Jyn so she did end up in the lap of whoever wasn’t currently driving, which I know isn’t ideal safety-wise, but we will get there. By the end, I did get her to settle in her bed in the back. I love my Ryobi fan, Rogue really seems to cool off quicker with it and have a more pleasant trip overall. The battery life is great, too.

That's all for now, kudos to you if you read all that!

Kalau kamu datang, aku berjanji tidak akan bertanya kenapa baru sekarang. Kalau kamu datang, aku berjanji tidak akan membuatmu berdiri di depan pintu terlalu lama. Kalau kamu datang, aku berjanji tidak akan bertanya, hati mana saja yang sudah kau lewati untuk sampai disini Karena dengan langkahmu. Aku terbangun, dari mati suri yang kunina bobokan sendiri Kalau kamu datang, tolong jangan pergi. Aku lelah menjaga pintu. Kalau kamu datang. Aku berani sumpah, aku tenang.
