I would like to talk about my sweet, spunky and aloof felines. Daisy is my very aloof and sneaky cat. How to describe Daisy, she is definitely a princess all in all. When Rome fell the emperor’s cats still expected to be fed on their timetable. How to describe Menorah my son’s cat. He is an extremely independent and sneaky cat. As cats go this one has it all admiration an endless sleep and company only when he wants it. Although sometimes he’s very demanding for attention. How to describe Tom Boy the cat that lives outside. He’s my farm cat he’s very good at catching mice and keeping other cats away. He is very lovey and demands his food when needed. He is also a very brave cat. The only thing Tom Boy worries about is what’s happening right now. How to describe Bella, she is attention seeking and very playful. Course she is only seven months old. In ancient times cats were worshipped as gods, they have not forgotten this at all. I see this in Bella for sure. How to describe Blackie, he is only six months old. Well, he is loving and playful too. There are few things in life more heartwarming than to be welcomed by a cat. That’s Blackie. I think I truly found the cat that reminds me of my Charlie. As a little girl up to twenty-four years old, he was my buddy and loved me totally. What greater love than the love a cat. In a cat’s eye all things belong to those darn cats. As all of us know as cat owners nobody owns a cat Right? To complete this I have to say there is no home complete without the pitter patter of kitty’s feet and of my Daisy’s heavy pounding paws because of her chunky self.

BIBLE STUDY GROUPS
I have gone to a lot of bible studies over the years, and all of them have been exciting or just plain boring. My first women’s bible study at my church I used to go to in Everett, WA. We had worship together, talked a bit before the actual bible study and we prayed for each other too. I really enjoyed going every week to this bible study.
Later on, I moved and had to find women’s bible studies to try out. Well, that didn’t always work out. Sometimes it took me a few months to know I wasn’t learning anything, and I wasn’t growing at all. Then there were other bible studies I went to, and I knew right away to leave and never come back. These kinds of studies were very judgmental and extremely critical women in the church. I felt very uncomfortable.
I didn’t give up totally, yet I decided to keep looking after a while. So, I checked out a women’s ministry. They had bible studies at different people’s houses. I went and checked the different home studies. Some were awful and some were ok. I did find one lady and her study, and they read from the bible and followed a book. But mostly read scriptures out loud to each other. It really was a great place to go, and the ladies were so helpful and kind. I learned a lot from those beautiful ladies. A few years later I had to move. I moved far away from Everett area. I do miss them all a lot.
I live in the Lewis County area now. And it’s been a challenge for me to find a decent bible study to go to. Oh, I have tried. I found in home bible studies those were ok. And in the churches, I found some too. I went to one for a few years The ladies did not want to hear what I had to say about what’s going on in the world and how it fits bible prophecy. I got frustrated and wiped my feet from those women. Interestingly, look what just happened with the COVID plandemic event??!! Crazy uh? SO, I just kept looking and checking out different women’s bible studies. None were that great for a long time. Then I got invited to a home bible study with a friend. Well, I have to say that was an experience of a lifetime. I got invited to a lady that’s a 7th day Adventist. Shes trying to teach ladies to serve in a cult. Not much to do with Jesus/Yeshua at all. It actually scared me in a way. My girlfriend is still going to this cult as far as I know. It’s so crazy to know there’s this crap everywhere.
I have visited lots of different bible study groups since I’ve lived here in Lewis County. I thought about having a study at my house. But can’t yet, we still have lots of remodeling to do. I pray Father Yahweh will have that happen someday. I did go check out another women’s bible study this last week. It wasn’t bad but extremely boring. The weird thing I wanted to scratch my nails on a chalkboard just so the ladies could wake up. I know that sounds awful but that’s how I felt. The ladies were nice as far as I could tell. I probably won’t go back to soon. I won’t stop looking though. I’ll just keep keeping on. Right ladies?
ENJOYING BIRDS
I will talk about the different bird counts I’ve done in the past and up to now.
The Bird Count called Audubon Society: It is just for the scheduled bird sites they put together. I’ve been on a few of them. I mostly did these counts when I lived in Everett and then in Spanaway. Closer to the cites. I did do a couple of the counts when my son and I lived in Lacey, WA.
This Seagull was at the Ocean in Long beach.
The Bird Count called E-Bird that is the count that’s only 3 days of counting from your backyard. It’s made from the Birds and Bloom company. I got to send out my bird pictures to them. I had a couple of my photos in their Birds and Bloom Magazine. Now that was cool!
The Bird Count called Cornell Ornithology they have a count through a source called Feeder watch. This one I do every year. Starting on November 1st to April 30th. To watch how many birds come through where I live at my bird sanctuary in my backyard, wooded area. And by the Cowlitz river too. I enjoy hiking around and looking through my scope to find beautiful treasures from Yeshua/Jesus. He made such awesome and majestic birds. The other Bird Counts I do on my own in my wooded areas I live close too. When I hike my dogs, we go up, far up in the forest and I get to find all kinds of birds and even animals around too. My dogs get hyped up some, but I get them to settle down and then they seem to enjoy watching me look at these beautiful creatures.
Resting in Yeshua this Morning Yeshua loves me jut the way I am. It’s nice to know that some days. This morning i rested with Him & my dog’s ( Frankie & Gracie). We were going to go for a hike but it was way too cold for me. My shoulders & arms were sore. So, I sat with Yeshua/Jesus instead. I read some devotionals & Revelation 12 in my Bible. My son came over Fridays night and stayed until today. We both hung out yesterday, it was nice to talk and go have coffee and breakfast together. Anyways, about my morning I cut my hubby and son’s hair this morning too. It has been a few months I guess. Now were going to go get some tires on my car. It needs them badly. Yeshua will keep us safe and whole during these days in this crazy world we’re living in. I do trust Him! Don’t you all?! Yeshua bless you indeed!
MY OLD SELF
Have you ever performed on stage or done anything radical before?
carmen hansen
Yes, I have on stage in a high school play. And I was in debate class too. I was a very shy gal. So, I tried these avenues to pull me out of shyness. I acted on stage for two semesters. I had a lot of fun but didn’t want to keep doing it. I went to debate class to learn how to speak up to people and to let them know what I was thinking of on each subject, and I realized I had a voice. My mother always told me I would amount to nothing. She didn’t realize how strong I was and passionate I am. Yeshua has taught me to have a voice of my own. I am strong as a warrior woman in Yeshua Ha Mashiach. I do have a lot of opinions maybe a little too much, well, maybe. Before I excepted Yeshua in my heart at 27years old. I used to do radical things to see if I was still alive. Friends would do dares for me to do, and I would go do them. Even jumping off of a bridge into the water, even though I didn’t know how to swim very well at all. Of course, I had my best friend down below to save me and she was there. Or else I wouldn’t be here. My husband and son don’t know this about the old me. I would ride a bicycle on a cliff, a rocky cliff up mountains. It’s like I tried to kill myself in a way, I guess. I did not care about much. I had a lot of pain and hate inside me. Crazy uh?! Yeshua saved me from trying to hurt myself and He sent out a lot of angels to protect me. I praise Him!!!
My Family
This is my hubby and I hiking our dogs. Gracie the border collie and short haired Shepard and Frankie the border collie and akita and Shepard. They are our babies. My hubby doesn’t hike with us very often, but he did that morning. My babies and I go hiking at least four times a week and sometimes five times. We hike four miles most mornings. They seem to enjoy it a lot. I do too. We have a son he’s 22 years old soon to be 23yrs old on February 8th. Yes, he’s a millennial. He doesn’t like to be called that because of his generation he doesn’t like how they are so not motivated to work at a job or really do much except play video games. Not much of a life uh?! It’s too bad but that’s what the social media is doing to everyone. Though I go to a coffee shop and there’s a lot of people talking around me. This last Thanksgiving was fun. It was my birthday, and yah I’m not going to tell you, my age. Sorry! Anyways, we had fun making dinner, talking about everything and even played a game, monopoly. It was fun and we joked a lot about how much each one was making in the game and losing in the game. I will always cherish this last birthday. Even though my son couldn’t get me a card or a present. Though he could have made me a card uh? But that’s okay, I forgive him. He probably won’t remember my scope he said he’d buy. He spent his money on food and cat food and gas. That’s more important. I’m excited for my son to make some more money so he could come over and start building that tiny home. My hubby said he would help him. I really think it would be a fun project and it will look great. My hubby always over builds. I will keep trusting Yeshua through all of our family bad times and good times. I thank Yeshua for all of the good. There’s been too many bad times we’ve been through. I look forward to Yeshua coming to take us out of here and bring us closer to him. Praise Yeshua/Jesus!
