My Dogs

    

     For the last 10 years my dogs have been my children.  They were my comfort when I was married.  They helped me transition when I was going through my divorce. They taught me patience when they destroyed things.  They showed me how smart dogs can really be with their problem solving skills on how to escape a fence and all the different ways.  They showed me what unconditional love really is.  Saying good bye to them is one of the hardest things that I will do.   
     God has sent me on a path that I can't turn away from.  I have learned the hard way what life is like when you take things into your own hands.  I hate that I have to give up my four legged children.  However, God is giving me 40 children to watch over.  When I come back to the States, I will not be able to take them with me either.  God has given me a heart to love children that others may find unloveable. He has given me a calling that I must answer.  That calling requires sacrifice and my dogs are the biggest sacrifice for my heart. 
     Please be praying because I do not know what their fate will be.  If I am not able to find a home for them in a month, then I will have to take them to the pound.  However, I am thinking that I may just have them put to sleep.  It seems more humane to be buried at home.  It breaks my heart into pieces that no one wants them other than me.

                                             Be angry, and do not sin.
Meditate within your heart on your bed, and be still. Selah
⁵ Offer the sacrifices of righteousness,
And put your trust in the Lord.
