{ Sophie }

This morning I woke up at 5:45 to get ready for work. I have to leave the house around 6:15 and around 6:00 I went upstairs to grab something before we left and Tay woke up and asked me to check on Sophie since she had thrown up in the night. Sophie for those of you who don't know is a kitten we started to take care of when her mom could't anymore. She was only two weeks old when we started caring for her.
When I picked her up I immediately knew something was wrong. She wasn't holding her head up, she was disoriented, her breathing was labored and she was acting vey spastic. It was very traumatic to say the least. I honestly thought she wasn't going to make it.  Mom and I were crying all the while we were trying to get ready for work. We decided to take her with us so Mom and Dad could drop me off at the vet. I cried on the way to the vet only to get there and have no one there, since it was still an hour and a half before they would open. I went to work and the whole time I was trying my best not to cry. I still thought she wasn't going to make it. I kept checking on her every half hour to my amazement she was steadily better. By the time I took her to the vet she was almost back to old self! I know it was God. Our vet told me that she thought it could have been because her blood sugar was low and that she had gotten to cold, sometimes kittens react that way when that happens.
I still am struggling with worry. I have to keep giving her to the Lord. This last month has been very hard for me at times. I know God gave us Sophie so we could have something to love on and receive love in return. While I was waiting this morning to take Sof I kept thinking, 'God why would you give us such a precious gift only to take her from me two and a half weeks later'? I know that God doesn't work that way. Hurtful things in life aren't God's "fault". Although he does allow us to walk through suffering he is always there to hold our hand and walk through it with us. Whether we take his help is another matter. I am so thankful that God chose to heal Sophie today. Too any of you who are hurting right now, know that Jesus loves you (even when we don't feel like it) and he is waiting for you to grab His hand.

Sophie was grabbing my hand tonight.

She loves her bottle. : )

Please continue to pray for her, since we aren't a 100% sure what happened to her.

{ I'm Alive!!!!! }

I'm still alive! I'm sure it seems like I fell off the face of the earth. Hopefully you all haven't forgotten me. I have been so busy the last few months. It kinda feels like my life has been turned upside down and I'm just now getting things in some kind of order. I'm not a fan of change, but God is helping me though it one step at a time. 


Last night I found this movie on youtube it is Aaron Gillespie from The Almost (one of my favorite bands) talking about how God has been speaking to him. I hope you are as blessed as I was.

I'm gonna go now, I am watching my three year old nephew and he just woke up from his nap. 


I hope you are all doing well! I am going to try and update my blog more often.


In Him,
