Thanks. Your about the only person who has complimented me lol.
As I sit here this morning reading all this stuff, I am truly reminded of the worldly things that take my focus away from what matters in life.
God has been trying to send me a message for some time now, firstly this world hunt situation, (which in my mind is settled), regardless of the "official" decision, then my Drama female had a freak hunting accident breaking her spinal cord from a fall, then my kennels got flooded from a 100 year flood here in Boone, NC where I live. All of these things happening in a short amount of time.
Now all of this sounds like I'm looking for some kind of sympathy from you all and trying to make people feel sorry for me, when in fact, my message, or should I say Gods message, is the opposite. And no I'm not a preacher, however I am a Christian.
Too many times I've seen negative things happen to people when they don't listen to God. As far as coon hunting in my life, God is clearly trying to send me a message.
Now for the record- I'm not Quiting hunting- it's who I am, it's in my DNA. However for now, I'm going to "slow down" and try to be obedient.
If we allow to accept things with an open mind, and be obedient, God will turn all these things going on right now, into something positive in my life.
I have 2 boys and another baby due in May, so maybe this coon hunting stuff will have to take a back seat for a while. But rest assured, I'll be round in the future to hopefully give some solid competition.
In conclusion, I ask you gentlemen to take a moment, be thankful for the opportunity to be involved and participate in the things God allows us to do. Focus on what matters-cause I assure you, in the end, hunting isn't one of the things that matter. It's simply a blessing that God allows.
I'm confident that one of the reasons these things have happened to me, is to share this message with you.
Peace out, and happy hunting friends!
Sincerely,
Allen Storie
