What brings you down? I don’t mean death of a loved one, I’m talking about other things. \u00a0I know this past week had me down for many reasons. We lost one of our dogs. It was expected, but still hard. His loss, brought thoughts for me that I have not addressed in awhile.<\/p>\n
Our move to seminary made us leave the dog behind. At the time I was angry and upset. We couldn’t bring the dog for many reasons, but the two big ones were, he was a foster dog and our new home only allowed one dog. So he stayed with my dad.<\/p>\n
Ok, now maybe the plan here was that the dog stay behind as this move would have been hard on him and us when it came to medical visits. Not to mention the damage that would have occurs with his bladder issues. \u00a0But I still felt guilty and let down.<\/p>\n
I also felt down when we moved for all the obvious reason. This summer has been tough too so far. Becky has been gone for three weeks, and Doug is gone all summer. I feel very much alone right now, even with Travis here. But I must believe this is part of Gods big plan for my life. I’m still trying to figure out where I fit into this new life. I’m hopeful God’s has yet another lesson for me to learn. So I wait, and pray. The answer will come one day.<\/p>\n
For now, I’m trying to keep my chin up and take each day, just one day at a time.<\/p>\n
