My dog needs dental surgery to have his teeth cleaned and get some teeth removed. When I first heard about it I believe in the power of prayer so I started praying. It’s hard when I live pay cheque to pay cheque. Where on earth was I coming up with $1500. Thank goodness I had pet insurance as it paid $1200 of the bill. I reached out to friends and in prayed as well. I had to trust that God has a plan.
This past week I have full amount for the surgery. I’m blessed beyond belief that’s for sure. I’m so thankful for the two people who gave me money for the surgery.
As I was sending the breakdown of surgery to one of the people. I realized that there are forms added to it that I need to sign before surgery. In case something happens I have to sign do the vets resuscitate Zeke and how much money can they use to do it. Or do I sign no resuscitation. I’ve been very teary eyed and have read that sometimes CPR can cause more problems after the fact.
I sometimes hate making these decisions on my own. I realized that I’m not making these decisions on my own, I have the Lord. So I spent the weekend praying about what I should do.
This morning I was not thinking about Zeke and his surgery and I was praying and I felt that I will sign no resuscitation. I do not want Zeke to suffer in any way shape or form. That’s a tough decision one that tears me up but it’s also not a selfish decision. I can’t imagine him not in my life. Some day be will die but I’m hoping to get more years with him.
After meeting my mom today she was so encouraging and said just what I needed to hear today. I was driving home with surgery on my mind and praying for peace. I saw this bird flying low in fact right where I could see him. I thought wow that big bird is pretty low. I saw it was a bald eagle.🦅 Just what I needed today.
God shows me bald eagles 🦅 as a way to tell me that everything is going to be ok. Thanks Lord. I love how putting my trust in Him for all things is so amazing.
“Trust in the Lord with all of your heart and lean not on your own understanding ; and in all ways acknowledge Him and He will make your path straight.” Proverbs 3: 5-6
So next time your struggling with a decision, reach out to the Lord and pray about it and trust that He will come up with a decision. I do know that our ways are not always the best and God may choose something different that’s when better then we could ever imagine. ❤️
