My poor little sausage dog has been having seizures for the last 10 months. She’s 14 and we all love her. She has a huge personality and its more noticable when she’s around other dogs, she ignores them as if she’s human. Last night she had four seizures in a row, one every 2-4 hours. I think the inevitable is coming and I’ve been preparing myself for the last 10 months but it’s still hard. Why do we get so attached to animals? I’ve had to ask the Lord for a bit of extra strength today.
PS Thanks for your comments Rodney, really appreciated. The vet said that there’s room still for different medication so she’s fine for now. Lots of valium though which makes for one sleepy dog!!

Sometimes Oswald Chambers hits the nail right on the head. We’re planning on going overseas in about two years time. This will upset certain people because they won’t understand why or how we can leave them (and possibly take our children with us if we have any by then). This is what Oswald says;
“If we obey God, it is going to cost other people more than it costs us, and that is where the pain begins. If we are in love with our Lord, obedience does not cost us anything—it is a delight. But to those who do not love Him, our obedience does cost a great deal. If we obey God, it will mean that other people’s plans are upset. ” Oswald Chambers

It seems that I struggle with a lot of things. Making decisions. Habits. How to befriend some people. When to stop letting someone lord it over you and when to eat humble pie. Lots of other things of course. I suppose the main thing is that I am realising that this stuggle (which according to the Bible is not against ‘flesh and blood’ but agains the ‘rulers and powers of this dark world’) will continue until the day I die. Even as a born again Christian who is forgiven and freed from the penalty of sin I am still a person who lives in a fallen world and will live with the consequenses of sin all around me daily. etc etc….

So, now that I’ve swapped blogs I don’t think anyon really reads this. Hmmmm, what’s the point of writing a blog if no one reads it (except for Becka who left a note - thanks Becka). I suppose it depends what the point of bolgging is. What is the point, not sure really. It’s not a diary for me, too public for that. Suppose its a place of random thought. Anyway, I’ll probably still keep adding even if I’m talking to myself at the moment!! LOL

These last few days I’ve had to learn how to put down my work and make time for friends. I’m not used to having people drop in on me at home and my best friend is here from interstate so she’s been doing that occasionally. I’m glad I made time for her today, it was fun going to Red Rooster with her and her four kids. Work will wait but time with friends is precious!

Previously I have been using xanga for blogging but found it to be a bit young for me. Not sure why exactly but I’ve decieded to try this to be different. We’ll see if I like it. Anyway, this is my first post here.
Stumble it!
