Day One

My name is Summer and my roommate is biking across the country this summer to raise money and awareness for affordable housing, a cause that she is very passionate about, and so she started a blog about her day to day experiences. This has inspired me to start my own blog writing about my own day to day life and my passions for God, service and animals.

God is my rock and without him my life would not have purpose. A few God words that I try to live by include but are not limited to, “Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9 “if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday” Isaiah 58:10 “You rescue the poor from those too strong for them, the poor and needy from those who rob them” Psalm 35:10

I love to serve and serve to love others. I like volunteering at the mobile food pantry, the local nursing home, and the animal shelter as well as other places throughout the community. I encourage everyone to volunteer at LEAST once in your life time. It’s never too early or too late to get started!!!!

Finally, I LOVE SHELTER ANIMALS! They are a huge part of my life and I am extremely passionate about the cause. I believe that every shelter animal deserves a forever home. I believe that all animals are worth saving and that no animal is beyond repair. Every life is a gift and that should never be taken for granted. I am also a proud supporter of trap/neuter/release programs for feral cats. They shouldn’t have to be euthanized just because they don’t trust humans. And love me for it or hate me for it I am a proud supporter of pit bulls. Yes I said pit bulls, these dogs are not viscous killers, they are loving and loyal companions that get taken advantage of because of their complete obedience to their masters. It fact for me pit bulls are the one dog breed that exemplify what unconditional love looks like. So there it is. This is me.

Lets live life together and share our experiences! “A life without cause is a life with out effect” –Anon.
