I've had to sing the Kutless song "Strong Tower" to myself over and over again today. Tonight was the night I had to take my dog to his new home. I knew it was going to be difficult, but I didn't know just how difficult it would be. I can't remember the last time I have cried this much, this hard and in such a short amount of time. My heart is breaking, but I know it's temporary and I know that the future holds great things for me and for God's Kingdom. That has to be my focus. Jesus told us that we have to lose our lives to find them and to sell everything we own and give to the poor and follow Him. OK, God. I'm giving You my life. Take it. It's Yours to do with it what You will. Through the pain and the suffering I will praise You because that is what You are worthy of. Jesus knows my pain and He knows what it means to suffer. Like Peter said, I will rejoice in participating in the sufferings of Christ. Goodbye, Ponce! You were a wonderful dog and I will miss you so much. You will have a wonderful life in your new home!
