Walking Mood
Tuesday, September 29, 2009

I have just been walking the dog and came across same traverlers with there horses.God knows what to give you when you are feeling alone,it took me back to my childhood days with the horses and the livibg in the caravans and huts when we used to go hop picking.Hop picking is picking hopes that you make beer with in those days it was all done by hand,now its all machines.The peaple who done the work was all traverlers from all over the country,we cooked on an open fire outside and had the best dinners ever.They where the days.

God showed me the romanys today to cheer me up and give me a smile,to remind me of what I have now back in my roots with the peaple I grew up with.

I have been moaning since I got here about the lonleness, the this and that everything really.Not really giving it a chance thinking what purpose do I have here none.And I need a purpose not just for me but for God.Well it made me think I wonder how many of the Romanys down here are saved or believe in Jesus?So I thought that I should get to know them and tell them who I am in the gypsy world and then go from there to tell them about Jesus.I am probly related to some of them as we are a very big family.The horses where so beautifull,they were the old cart horses which you don,t see much of these days you my know them as shire horses.I also found a web site yesterday that I can go on that I can get all the info on where the romany peaple are living down here and a news letter about what they are doing and what shows are on.Sorry for boring you lol.Just so pleased to have seen the peaple of my culture and that I can get back to knowing them and sharing myself with them.

Its been a nice day today sun has been shining and I have done nothing ,apart from having the baby for my daughter this morning.She had to take my other grandaughter to look at her secondary school or as you know it as High School.I am still staying there,but am coming home tomorrow and getting to grips with things.Instead of groaning about things just have to see what I am blessed with and be gratfull that God has not forgotten me.He should I bet His eyes are burning with my moaning lol.

    I used to sow bright colored clothing a family of Gypsies . They were the kindest people.. In Oregon when I was a teenager, we would go to the hot springs. There were always gypsies there, there presence reminded me that their were still people that loved the wondering style of life.

    I think that it is cool that you have their blood running through you. I also believe that you will find a purpose in you life, it may sneak up on your unaware. Because our God given purpose always flows through us and from us like living water, and we could be fulfilling it and not even realize it until one day we look at ourselves with open eyes and realize that our purpose was right there in front of us. That with out us realizing it we had been fulfilling our purpose unconsciously at this time.

    I pray the God will open your eyes soon

    I really enjoyed reading your journal today! I wonder if perhaps seeing those lovely horses traveling with their gypsy owners helped you to connect with the journey that YOU are on? It is so good to reconnect with our roots, and I do feel that this will help you to find a sense of purpose on your own journey. Yes, God is guiding you. Enjoy your day.
    Hugs, Sue
