5:16 in the morning

I wake up and for some reason I'm thinking of how I will be when my cat Terror is gone. I hope that day doesn't come too soon. I love my little Terror. It was a very painful decision to put my other cat Naomi down last year, but I had to because she was so sickly and I was robbing her of a good quality life. If you can give that kind of thing to a cat, I guess. But, Terror is different. She isn't sick or anything but as I type this she is here on my lap and I have tears in my eyes. I've had her since she was about 8 weeks old. This coming August will make it 9 years that I've had her. She longs for my attention. Every time I walk through the door, she is meowing to no end. She waits for me to sit down so she can find the comfort of my lap and my touch. And as I type this, I think to myself, what an awesome picture of God this is. I want to be close to God so badly that I will whimper and whine the whole way until I get close to Him and be in His Presence. Lord, I long for Your Presence. Make it known to me in an incredible way today. Surrendering everything, even Terror, to You. I pray for peace today and to watch You work in my life today. Thank You Jesus.
