If you have heard that country song, I thank God for unanswered prayers, then I think you might be able to appreciate this post. I've been thinking a lot about my life lately and all the things I thought I would do. As full of love as I am to be here living on this farm, I thought I would be somewhere very different, probably southeast Asia.
I think about my dog Bear when I think about ways God has answered my prayers of my heart without answering the ones of my mind. I had Bears father, who wasn't a good fit for our farm. He was aggressive, unkind to animals and was a little scary. Bear was an accident litter between Violet and Sue. Bears owner couldn't keep him and he came here. I tried to rehome him but no home came available. But then I saw how Bear was, even with the animals who were unkind to him and I knew I needed to rehome Sue and not Bear. I cried of course, but I knew it was right. Bear has been a good fit and perfect in every way and I thank God that this giant lovable dufus is here. I feel like I am seeing how God provides through seeming inconvenience, but it always works out for the good.
