Loss

I lost my dog of 14 years yesterday.  It was a very tough day.  She had developed a malignant tumor and other cancers had invaded her lungs.  We were optimistic at first; the doctor thinking he could remove the tumor and she would be ok.  But the radiologist read the x-ray, and our decision to end her life became inevitable.  


I've never been in this situation, and at the time, it felt like I was playing God.  


As I write today, although my heart still hurts from the loss of Lexi, I see this being a part of God's plan for my life.  


I see God moving and making me ready to use me and my husband in a mighty way.  Part of me wants to take a sneak peak and see what my future holds.  But, I have faith and a trust in God to take me to my next chapter.


Yes, loss of a pet is hard, but I have to remember the good times she gave me.  The unconditional love of a pet is something everyone should experience.  No matter what happens, they're always there to greet you when you get home.


Loss is hard, but God is good.


Genesis 1:30 - “And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds in the sky and all the creatures that move along the ground—everything that has the breath of life in it—I give every green plant for food.” And it was so.”
