Molly gets to GO!

This is Molly:


One cool thing about Molly is that Molly LOVES to GO! Today Molly got to GO!


It was a very happy day for her.


What makes this so remarkable is that she has no idea where she's going. And yet, she is thrilled at the prospect of just plain GOing. I pray that when God asks me to GO I will be as willing and excited as Molly is when she hears the word "GO".

Yesterday I heard God telling me to GO and it took me approximately 6 hours to get up the nerve to do it. And then when I went, it was lovely. I stopped by the house of a woman I met a few months ago when I stopped by her house the first time I felt God telling me to GO. Ever since then whenever I drive by her house I say a prayer for her. So yesterday I talked to a new friend for about 30 minutes and learned exactly what it is I can pray for her when I do my driveby prayers. Why is it so hard to step out of the norm and just be? Here I was thinking she will think this is so strange for me to stop and chat and she was thrilled. Trust. That's what I want to learn from Molly.

You stepped out on a limb and it didn't break!!
I am proud of you..My dog Jett is the same way. He sits in the seat beside me and just looks at me every once in awhile as if he's saying thank you..its precious

You went where God sent you..

Thanks for stopping by Brides Journey, Candy!

I loved this post about Molly's joy in the journey and your desire not to get caught up in the fear we get ourselves tripped up in. It was a great reminder for me. Thanks.

This is beautiful Candy! Having just had a short break away with a friend who brought her dog, I see how eager they are to go when you stand up to go out. Their uninhibited joy at living is a great analogy to look at. Freedom indeed.
Loved your visiting story.

This is my first time on your blog and wow what a post! There is just something "pure" about dogs and perhaps through learning from them we can get a taste of what Jesus means when he said we must become like a child.
