Chiquito...My Dog

Well, as you may have realized, I never got the pictures attached to the last entry like I had hoped. I did attach them today, so if you would like to scroll down and look at them, feel free!

This week has been filled with many challenges as well as lots of blessings! I have a couple of quick prayer requests and hopefully in those you'll see the praises! Last Sunday I received confirmation that a family here visiting could take my dog back to the states with them. The rest of the week has been busy trying to get all of Chiquito's flight arrangements made so that he can go all the way to Atlanta with them and then be shipped from Atlanta to Norfolk where my dad will pick him up tomorrow evening. The praises are simple, God has totally opened all the doors in making this possible to Chiquito to go to the states now, rather than with me in June. There were too many possible hindrances with weather and other things at the time of my flight that it will be much more relaxing for me to know that he is already safe at home with my parents. As far as prayer requests go, I still have several things to take care of today to get him ready to go. Not to mention there's the fact that he has a rather stressful few days ahead of him and a lot of travelling. Please pray that connections are made without any difficulties and that he arrives in Norfolk as scheduled tomorrow evening. You can pray too that it won't be too hard for me to say good-bye to him. I know that God has made all these arrangements, but it's still hard to part with him for a month!

The only other prayer request that I have is that I have been battling with health issues this week. I have a cold that has been sticking around for about a week now and for the last 4 days, my stomach decided to add a few problems of it's own. I am sure that none of it is serious and that my body is struggling to heal itself due to the emotional state that I am in. However, God is the great physician and can help me get the rest my body obviously needs. Please pray that He will strengthen me through all of these things that I am trying to get done!

This is it! Only about a month left! 2-3 weeks of school left plus about 2 weeks to finish packing up an say my good-byes! We're getting down to the countdown!

Chiquito arrived in Franklin in fine condition and on time. He is getting well adjusted to life with the "old guys", Dad and Grandpa Pick and your Mom. He really likes Aggie's dog food! LOVE YA, Dad and Mom
