I went to a work thing this weekend and in the hotel there was a SWAT convention (one day in the hotel and the others the guys/gals were just staying there) then there was a Pokemon tournament...there were all different types of people there but No  PunkCat ,  Kenson , Lil brother  dragondrop ...or  NickoliLion 's who tail is trying to avoid being tied in a pretzel, to  QuietWild ...or  Sputnik_rising no  GrixFox ....to be seen...no one in fursuits...no crazy kids running around just hugging the snot out of you...


in short...I miss my crazy all y'all...even if you weren't mentioned in here...I still miss you.

Ive been mulling over something for the past couple weeks....not sure how i was feeling about it...but I can officially say I am heart broken. Before you ask...the only think you can do is pray...and i appreciate any and all prayers by my fellow followers of Christ. I ask that whenever you think of me just pray for the unspoken prayer on my heart.

That is all...

Not the game...the dragon..

First off I want to say I have been very blessed by being able to meet each and every one of you – either in person or via just chatting online. I thank you for your friendships, your kind words and your love for others on this site and off of this site. I remember first signing up for this over a year ago and I never thought it would turn into the friendships that I have with some of you – I have indeed made some great friends here. I remember going to Morphicon and seeing God move there – defiantly an experience I am not going to forget. However, after being on and off of FA a few times and seeing where God leads it I have realized I have been fighting God.

I believe that God has worked through Christians in the fandom – and has awesome plans for it (all His plans are GREAT) – however He has made it pretty apparent to me that I am not meant to be an active member of this Community anymore. I may still be around at random events – check this from time to time – and I will DEFINITELY be keeping in contact with the people I’ve met – you guys (and gals) are no less important to me because im leaving. I still encourage people to connect me with new friends that are pro-furry and furry- however I no longer will identify myself as being a furry. I am however a disciple of Christ that enjoys some aspects of furry.

You can still call me Creda – however my real name is Shaleen and many people call me Shamama. I do prefer the latter. Although – feel free to call me whatever YOU are comfortable with.

I am saddened to leave – however God has opened my eyes to the hurt that this has become and spoken to my heart. There is no way that I regret becoming involved – the only thing I wish I could have done was press into Him more with those who I came into this with and I do believe that things would have been different – nonetheless I do know that God has a plan and knew this was going to happen – so I am sure it will be used for His glory. I have seen both the good side and the bad side of the fandom. I have both made friends and lost friends because of it. I do love it just the same – but I am not supposed to be OF it. I will still see you around though – I still love animals, think fursuits, fursonas and think they absolutely adorable and can be a lot of fun. However, I cant keep ignoring what is clear to me.

I pray that I may still see each of you around – if I don’t, I pray that your lives may be fruitful.

This is not a goodbye – just a hope to see you around – maybe under different circumstances. Maybe even at a bowling meet or two.

half listening to the radio... "....and random furries flying around...." ^^? huh? .....oh.....flurries.... dang it...i like the first option better.

Sitting all alone, feeling like no one cared.
Feeling like I'd be alone for valentines days like this for years to come.
Until a man of great stature and importance tapped me on the shoulder.
He said "will you be my Valentine this year and for many more?"
I thought, "who am I to say 'yes' to this? I am just some random girl, why pick me from the crowds? Ive done nothing great, Ive messed up so many times....all of which he knows about..."
again he asked "will you be my Valentine? I promise you'll never be alone again"
I asked "but why?"
he replied "because I love you for you." Now normally this would get me even more...however, the look in his eyes...I knew he couldn't be lying. There was a softness I never yet seen.
still confused, but assured, I said "yes"

Three years ago I said yes....to Jesus...I said yes and then proclaimed my love and acceptance of Him in front of the people that would soon become my family. The family that has blessed me beyond my wildest dreams. Every year I am reminded that I am never alone on holidays like today...that I am not 'single' because I am loved the only perfect person out there. That He has shown an act of love that no other person will, to die a sinners death - even though He was no sinner. Yet, still He provides me with gifts of love not just on valentines day (a hallmark holiday) yet every single day. I can mess up so many times, I can seemingly forget about Him...yet He is always there to welcome me back weeping.... rejoice with me in Praise.

I know I am not perfect - and i know I dont always set the best examples. However, I know I am loved...and with that love...I love you.

So my question today, is will you join in our 'valentine forever' club? Its the BEST decision you can make.

with love,
Creda.

And i just cant hide it!!!!

*scampers about leaving muddy paw prints everywhere*


I haz some pretty epic plans for the next few weekends...

Im excited to see whats going to be going down!

Oh man! He is good!!

and youre to blame...

Ive been inside all day after going and looking for that pup.....i need outside....im getting cabin fever, how you ask? Well......


RAAAAAAAWWWWWRRRRRRR!! *stomps around* IM DA CREDAMONSTER!!! RAWR RAWR RAWR!!! *makes my soft paws claw like* *STOMP STOMP STOMP*

As i choose to watch my first movie today since i am staying inside....and feel somewhat ashamed of my first movie pick...my question is for you all: "What movie, or type of movie, do you not really want to admit that you watch sometimes?"

Heya....so i noticed a post by an old employee/coworker on facebook following up about a possible abandoned dog she had saw in a sketchy part of akron. Non of the shelters responded to her attempted to contact then and she was afraid to approach the dog. She went back recently and saw the dog...who hadnt moved much and the only difference was this time it stood up. She is not sure if it is chained but is concerned as to why it hasnt moved in an area that doesnt have residence near it. She gave up hope however i cant do the same just hearing about it. What Im asking from all of you is that you just say some prayers - or if you live in akron note me if you are able to go out tomorrow around 10am on east market near Daves market. (note me for an exact address).
My friend that saw the dog is going to meet me but she is afraid of bigger dogs. Im going regardless if anyone goes because i want to try and get this pup help if it needs it. Its TOO COLD to be outside for longer periods for a human...and we have a voice to express that, dogs/animals dont.
Anyways...please pray for safety of all of those involved and for a way for this pup to find warmth and proper care since me nor my friend can take it if it needs a new home.

please f5 my homepage for the most recent update.

Thanks.

<3's you all.

I have really neglected FA before, during and the short time since MFF. So here I am to say I am really sorry for any comments/favs/watches etc I have neglected. I am starting from scratch and its not that I dont love you all but I mentally (super tired) cant go through them all right now.

MFF was really fun, I didnt get much quality rest just because of trouble sleeping so I am still drained.

It was great getting to meet various furrends for the first time (like  nickolilion,  dragondrop ,  vpower17 ) Sorry for being pretty low key and not my "normal" crazy-creda self - had a lot of my mind and felt very suppressed during the weekend - but all I have to say is God is faithful, just, loving, gracious and soooo much more - im working through things and I am amazed each moment I just look towards Him.

I can honestly say I wish we were all in the same place because I miss you all and am going through people withdrawal.

Verse id like to share today:
"5The purpose of my instruction is that all believers would be filled with love that comes from a pure heart, a clear conscience, and genuine faith. " 1 Tim 1:5 NLT

I love each one of you <3

There is furrrr everywhere!!! *giggles*

I got paws now tooooooo


*runs around squeeing*

a TAIL!!!

*this is NOT a poem, or song...or anything of the such...just how i feel right now and needed to get it out*

Im in tears,
knowing that im truly not following,
not trusting in Your plan for me.

I doubt.

I try to accomplish things on my own.
I know I cant,
but I still try.

Why do I forget?

So again,
Im starting over.
Or so it feels like it.

On my knees.

Please, direct me.
Guide my hands
Guide my feet.

Break my heart

Prepare me for your plans
For they are greater
bigger than me.

Use me, Lord.

Walking out of work I ran into a friend from a division I used to work for...the boss disliked me (and a lot of others for no apparent reason) .... Well we started dancing gangnam style singing "heeey sexy lady...." And we look over to see my old boss (her current boss) standing right there looking at us like we are crazy. SUPER GLAD I don't work for her anymore. However....it was GREAT.


What was the best part of your day?
