My sweet dog, Lylah, has been transferred to the care of one, Ana Juan. Ana is a friend of mine from work. I happened upon Ana talking about wanting another dog as a companion for her current dog, but she didn't want the work of a puppy.
For real!? I was like, "Want mine!!?" Truly, God was easing my mind and giving me that peace. I've been extremely worried about what to do with Lylah. God answered my prayers! Ana is great and wonderful and I'm excited she's Lylah's momma now.
But I miss my Lylah. I haven't cried, which is weird... I'm guessing it will hit me soon. It kind of feels like I'm boarding her or something....

So, that's done.
I had to say goodbye to my first friend today, too. My old roommate and friend, Morgan, and her husband, Ben, are moving to Ohio for Ben's medical school. Morgan's work is based in Las Colinas and she would come up here from College Station every few months and we would hang out.
It's weird. I still didn't cry, neither did she. We both think it's that it hasn't hit us yet. I guess that's true... but this needs to start becoming real.
I know some part of it will hit on the last days of school. I will be extra sad that my babies won't be able to come and see me after school when they're in middle school and I'm REALLY going to miss my friends at work.
God has blessed me so much with my Otis Brown family. I complain about work, it's true. But mostly it's about what I can't change due to law. STATE LAW! If you didn't know this already, Texas has some issues in education. Just an FYI.
Through all of this, though. Through giving my dog away, saying goodbye to friends, praying that the education system would turn it's focus on kids, I can feel that God is in control. Yes, even with the junk my kids and I have to deal with on a daily basis. He's there, working. His timing is perfect. My patience isn't.
As far as moving to Korea is concerned. What I'm most focused on right now is trying to get rid of a lot of clothes. But it makes it hard when I go SHOPPING FOR MORE CLOTHES because I want to make sure I have cold weather (REAL cold weather, not Texas "cold weather") gear.
God's hand is in everything. I just have to make sure to allow Him to guide me.
I am going to try and post your first comment. The process you are allowing God to see your through is amazing. It will all hit you at one time, maybe, but you will deal with the change and the excitement of Korea.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you found a place for your love of a dog. She sounds like she is in good hands.
Keep blogging. I love it.
