Exhausted

 In oh, so many ways!

This week Bailey and I spent a lot of time with veterinarians.  We met a new one at the Westside Animal Clinic because Holden had no available appointments and then we experienced a great team at the Veterinary Emergency Group.  His problem has two identities: formerly Hemorrhagic GastroEnteritis (or HGE) and now Acute Hemorrhagic Diarrhea Syndrome.  I think for Bailey the term "Syndrome" suggests repetition, and it seems that he may have been fulfilling that suggestion!  This is approximately the third time we have dealt with this particular diagnosis.  Yuck.

My God!  Trying to pray in the manner described in Scripture is sometimes awkward for me.  I chat with You constantly, although sometimes I mistake my own thoughts for a conversation with you.  Real prayer is different, I think.  Example from today's Bible reading from 2 Chronicles 6~~

Now, Lord, the God of [those who have believed in Your Son, Jesus Christ], keep for Your servants the promises You made to us when You said that You would never leave us nor forsake us; that all things would work together for good for those of us who love You; that You have overcome the world.

(I regret that I need to take my dog, the Bailey mentioned above, outside because I smell something!)  

I want to continue this post soon.  Give me time, Lord.
