Letting Go

One of the biggest things creating major turmoil in me was having to "give" up my Yorkshire Terrier Theo. I struggled with this greatly. Still do in fact. He had become my best bud in the past year! I didn't have to come home to an empty apt every night :) If only I could work out some way for him to move with me, but it kept coming back to.... It's best for him, he doesn't deal well with change etc and when I'm in Gautemala I will be travelling around, and living with a family. A dog was just to much to ask. I just was in Guatemala for 10 days with my friend Judy, and came to the conclusion that Theo should go to his forever mommy and daddy before that trip, so that if something did not work out I could deal with it when I got home. Saturday March 14th was the big day. I packed him up, telling myself he is just a dog (it didn't work). I drove him to Milford where I was meeting Wendy, the second I got in the car I started to cry. Anyway I handed him off, cried my way home, made Wendy cry.. The whole nine yards. My sister Beth kept checking on me, knowing how difficult this was. I headed down to Boston with my friends and Beth texted me to tell me she was on her way to Jaffrey and started to pray for me. All of a sudden on this clear beautiful day there was a rainbow, she pulled over to take a picture and it disapeared just as quickly. Her text to me said... "Theo is going to be ok". God's ever faithful promise.... like a balm to my heart.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not upon your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths. Proverbs ch.3 v.5-6
