I didn't tame it yet. I have reserved unnecessary contact so she doesn't become too accustomed to people. I just want it to get to the stage where it can be released.
I just lost my last exotic pet that's been with me longer than any other. The Lord knows that I need encouragement and I think that is why the timing was now. That's the option if I decide to keep that precious gift.
There's a couple reasons why I think a more important choice is to release her instead.
"Prepare thy work without, and make it fit for thyself in the field; and afterwards build thine house."
Thank God the house is paid for.
I still have many responsibilities and sometimes feel guilty for spending too much time on here. Once my goals are realized, many people will be blessed. It will also help a family get through the hardships to come upon the world. There's much more work and time that will be required before I am able to open my store. The Lord has miraculously provided each step of the way up until now.
It's no secret that I like possums better than some people. Lol
The conflict is that I want to establish
special people in my life before the likelihood of another world war. There's no way I plan on becoming dependent on the beast system that's obviously getting established quickly. To be independent from that will require a LOT of preparation/ blessing from God during this time we have left. I was reading
Genesis 41 this morning and I was blown away by the reality of a similar situation occuring right NOW. These aren't the lean years yet, but they are approaching. None of us knows the date. However, IF we are going into WW3 soon, then the few short years before the Lord possibly returns, a pet should be the least of my concerns, however another responsibility when I already have more than most
.
A. Unfortunately, I can't travel more than a day or two with this kind of animal to care for. They tie you down and there's nobody who I now know who can take care of it while I'm gone.
B. There are two or three major projects that I wish to accomplish before I include anyone permanently in my life. I have to free myself from distractions so I can realize those goals. That will put us all in a strong position with the Lord's help. A pet requires a block of time that is at a premium.
I have a very important mission to accomplish before that day of the Lord. If I decide to include a family to assist in that mission, then I be better be busy and "about
my Father's business," as Jesus said. Other activities like travel and pets will have to wait for now. However, I can use the company of a little friend. The Lord knows that too.
