well about a year ago they figured out they could jump my short fence . they jumped the fence on a couple different occasions .I don't spank my dogs . but I do yell at them but not very often . 

cause they're really well behaved dogs .

       the 3rd or 4th time they jumped the fence when I called them back they ran in the house and sat on the couch . and this is what I yelled at them .

      What is wrong with you guys ? why do you keep leaving thw yard . that yard and in this house is the only place I can keep you safe . i don't know what is so tempting on the other side of that fence that you keep leaving but I promise you that nothing out there is good for you m I put that fence up not to keep you away from anything it's there to keep you safe . i give you everything you could ever need or want . you have it better than most dogs. why can't you behave . why can't you stay where I can protect you ? I love you more than you know and I can only protect you if you obey me and stay where I asked you to . how come you don't leave the yard if I'm out there with you ? why do you have to physically see me to obey me ? i want nothing but the best for you but I can't give you the best if you won't listen to me so I can keep you safe . 

 and that's when I realized this is how God feels . 

he wants nothing but the best for us and to keep us safe but most of us disobey him . why do we need to see him to obey him . he's there whether we see him or not. he's waiting for us to come home but we choose to leave everything he has given us because we think there is something better on the other side of the fence .

that's when I realized the conversation wasn't meant for the dogs or was meant for me . cause that's how God feels . i know he had me speak those words so I'd hear him . he has given me everything I need and he's trying to protect me but im not obeying him just cause he's not physically here doesn't mean he's not protecting me or he doesn't love me . jes waiting on his house for me to come in but I keep leaving the area he has made safe for me .

i never thought God would speak to me and technically he didn't . he spoke through me . my dogs weren't leaving the yard to disobey me . God needed to get through jl to me and having me lecture my dogs with the words he was trying to get me to hear was the only way. 

 i was listening to him so he mad me listen . i never felt so humble and sad in my life . why have 8 been denying him my whole life when he was just trying to keep me safe
