Caleb was double fisting two of his dogs this morning on the way to take Asher to school. I tried to get him to leave blackie at home but , he said that puppy needed a friend. So there he was barely could see over the two walking clutching them tight.
" Man you really love your dogs huh?" he responded.. "Yes, they are my best friends." Caleb is the best pet owner you can have. Although puppy isn't real, he has loved on and taken such good care of his dog, that puppy feels like part of the family. So much so we have him family photos, and he always gets a matching bow tie for special holidays.
I thought about this bond for a moment and couldn't help but think of our Lord. In the middle of weeks filled with excitement, anticipation, fear, and busy I needed to be reminded that just like puppy who NEVER gets left behind, I also have a God who is by my side everywhere I go.
And just like puppy who ended up in a fountain at daddy's school, because "he" was too hot, there are times the Lord will take us to places we may not want to be. The rad thing about it though is that HE is there!
Summer came and the new school year has started. I would be lying if I said that all is well. The truth is, my heart is trusting. My faith is being exercised and I am letting go of control. Asher is in a new school, new teachers, new principle and is there ALL day (more on that on another blog). Daddy started a new semester and is back to juggling work, school and ministry along with super hero duties with the kids. It is also a new season for me and Caleb.. We don't have grandma to care for anymore and we have more time to do what the Lord wills.
My Tuesday group and I started a really good bible study called "go in peace" and I realized that before
(by the way I do intend to blog more through these weeks. You all have been a part of my journey here on FFF and as always I want to be transparent to what the Lord is doing in my life.)
Hebrews 13:5 says " I will never leave you nor forsake you"
How refreshing to know that even in those moments we feel weary we have a God that will grab you by the ear and bring you along and some days....... bring you a friend because you need one. I love how God ministers to us through our children and a dirty old puppy.
Jesus reminds us that the birds of the air don't worry about food because, He provides for them, and how much more valuable are we! Listen in case you need to be reminded today, God is with you, no matter what you are going through or feeling He is a God that will never leave you nor for sake you, remember that!
Love you! Here is to a new school year!!!!
