*sigh*

This year has been brutal so far.  

This past week our beloved chihuahua started throwing up.  

Every other day would find us at the vet until he had surgery on Saturday.  

He had eaten several pieces of fabric.  

Unbeknownst to us.

I truly thought he was dying yesterday morning.  But our vet (she has actually performed every single surgery on our pets - from rabbits to dogs) came in on her day off and examined, x-rayed, and then stayed to do the surgery for him.  I am so incredibly thankful.

This little guy is our whole world.  He will be 13 next month and while I know he won't live forever, I am so thankful for more time with him.  

I am so behind on everything.

My reading challenge.

School and cleaning and Bible plans - everything is moving at a snails pace right now.  Every day I wake up thinking today will be the day when things calm down and get back to more of a normal cadence and then something else happens.  Ironically (or not so much if you stop and really think about it) the thing that God has been teaching me this year is that I need to learn to trust Him.  

Not my circumstances.  

Not the plan I made.  

But Him.

And each day I see His hand.  Like the fact that our vet was in town, available, and willing to come in on her day off to take care of our fur-baby.  That's such a gift from Him.  And we are SO incredibly thankful for our vet.  She truly cares about our pets.  So - although I missed another book blog post this week, and although I am still in the book of Numbers for my reading plan, and although we are still in chapter three of a book we started two weeks ago...it is all going to be ok.  

Not because the circumstances are going to magically change.

But because God is good.  

And He is trustworthy.  

So I can hang on to Him and let Him teach me how that is more than enough.
