Are you there God? I went to church this week.

 

Are you there God? I went to church this weekend. It was Mother’s Day weekend. My son made this drawing for me.

I’m looking for those little rays of inspiration.  This week I could feel the spirit at church. I was glad I was able to attend.

I am working on trying to be a good example and influence to others.  

Sometimes that can be hard. 

Do you have suggestions on how to feel or see the hand of God in your life?

Next week I need to read the scriptures more.

Kimberly’s little year, a few new birds.

I must have thought enough to manifest seeing 

the Clark’s grebe with its baby. I just so enjoy seeing the babies ride on the parents back.

It took quite some time and a lot of zooming in to get 

this photo of a western king bird.

We watched this little spotted sand piper bounce its 

Bottom up and down. It was just too cute.

The elusive adventure bird was hiding in a patch of daisies.

I’m so excited that I have added new birds to my bird watching list.

Kimberly’s little birding year. Birds I saw this weekend.

We have had a lot of rain this spring.

Work has been crazy and my one day off 

it was pouring rain outside.

We packed up the car with cookies and hot chocolate 

and went to Utah lake.

The birds didn’t seem to care that it was raining.

I was watching a pair of Clark grebes.

There was a surprise, two babies 

were hiding under the parents feathers.

I have always wanted to see this.

Despite the rain it was a good birding day.

Slow birding, aka the birds in my backyard.

 

European starling.

I can’t always go out bird watching, 

So on days when I am stuck at home I enjoy watching 

The birds at my bird feeder.

This gives me some practice with my camera 

And time with nature.

I don’t have any really cool birds.

But they are still fun to watch.

I just learned that watching birds at home is called slow birding.

Are you there God?

 

Today while doing my 3 mile walk the fitness instructor brought up this quote “ Attention is the Beginning of Devotion.” By Mary Oliver. 

I am trying to look at where my attention has been and also 

in the next few months pay more attention to God. To looking for God in my life.

I think this quote was God speaking to me. God speaks to us

through other, as much as he may whisper to us in our mind,

He will also use the words of others too.

I’m seeing you God, I know you speak to me.

I’m going to focus on You more.

Thank you for speaking to me.

Thank you for the beautiful world 

Thank you for quiet moments.

Are you there God?

 

In an attempt to strengthen my spiritual connection 

I’m looking for ways to reconnect with God.

My inspiration so far has been to focus on the

beauty I see in the world, and to also look for things to be grateful for.  

When I look at flowers and animals I think 

there must be a Devine Creator. I cannot believe 

that all the beauty in the world is just a strange cosmic accident. 

The pandemic and the craziness of life has caused me to feel 

A bit spiritually lost.

So every day I am going to try to look for reasons to 

Continue to believe in God.

I am also going to focus on things I am grateful for 

and share them with you.

I’m thankful for the beauty of flowers.

I’m thankful for my family.

I’m thankful for my little home.

Thank you God for all the beauty around me.

My Journey check in. May 8, 2024

At the beginning of the year I chose the word “journey” to be 

my word for the year. 

Despite getting covid in January I feel I have been 

doing really well with exercising.

I have been doing well with life work balance.

I have been doing pretty poorly with my spiritual walk.

I am trying to write out my goals daily.

This is my month goal sheet.

One thing I will try to do is write daily about my 

journey and how I am doing with my goals.

Do you set monthly goals?

So far this month I have done well with my exercise goals.

I’m am trying to exercise every day, and do some type of exercise after dinner.

I am going to try to read a conference talk every day.

My spiritual focus this month is going to be focused on

Expressing gratitude for the things in my life.

Little adventure bird visits the farm.

Little Adventure bird visited some farms.

He wanted to learn about farm animals and their babies.

He also liked looking at the farm equipment.

They use some big machines on farms.

Old farm trucks are cool.

The baby goats were very happy to visit with us.

They like to chew on everything.

A baby goat is called a kid.

Here is a baby sheep. A baby sheep is called a lamb.

I think he might be trying yoga with baby goat.

We could call this the kid pose.

Little bird felt right at home with the baby chickens.

They are so cute and fluffy.  

He tried to convince us to buy some. 

Sorry little bird they would make a mess of our house.

Here is a mother cow with its calf.

A mother horse with her foal.

There were baby animals everywhere.

We think this Alpaca got a bad haircut. 

 

The chickens were busy scratching for food.

The baby goats were cute, it’s hard to think they grow up to be so big.

Here is a mother killdeer.

Here is the killdeer eggs.  Maybe they don’t have to stay on the eggs until they hatch.

Hope you enjoyed the farm animal photos.

It was fun to visit a farm.
