Enjoying her new home!!!!
My heart is so glad tonight I can hardly contain myself. The Lord works in mysterious ways and blesses us when we do something He called us to do. You might remember the little dog I rescued off of University. Well I had just gone to bible study that day and heard Beth Moore talk about our destiny. She kept saying our destiny is not always something that makes us feel good, but something that the Lord has put before us. We can choose to accept what he has offered us or choose to ignore it and miss out on His blessings. She also told us that it's not always our time, but His time.So with that on my mind, I stood in the rain for 2 hours and rescued that little angel. There was a time when I wanted to just quit. I kept praying, "Lord please just make her get in the car...I'm soaked here, the least you could do is make it stop raining!" Then I heard that still small voice telling me everything I had just learned that morning. To say the least it made me smile.
I begin to search for a wonderful loving home for that sweet dog. There was no way we could take her as we have so many ourselves. The Lord sent a special family my way through my pleading email. They went and picked her up today and she has a forever home now. I cried when I got off the phone with Stephanie at Dr. Mikes and found out they took her. My heart was so full and I KNOW without the shadow of a doubt that it was my destiny to pick up that little angel. Some of you may think that's corny but I don't care. The Lord spoke to me and I followed His will....in return he blessed my heart and another family...and even that sweet puppy!
And yes, He does have a sense of humor.....when Stephanie and I got her to Dr. Mike's that day, the sun came out! Go figure!!!

I am so proud of you I can't hardly stand it! That dog is in a good home - the home that God intended for her to have. It just hurts my heart that ALL dogs aren't in good homes like that one and like yours and mine.
I am super proud of you! And when you and Luke DO decide to have kids, DON'T LET ANY ONE TELL YOU THAT YOU HAVE TO GET RID OF YOUR DOGS....IF THEY DO, IGNORE THEM AS THEY ARE MORONS!!!!!!
I love you Mel!!!! your momma
OH good, I am so glad everything worked out for everyone involved!!! No doubt that family is very thankful that you took the time to rescue their new family member!
Oh that's great news! Such a cute dog. I hope she makes that family very happy, and vis-a-versa. Dogs make everything better.
