*Ok, my titles might seem a bit out there, but it's the first thing I think of so I go with it!
In a truly amazing act of God, our house is being sold! We had an interested buyer who was asking for a way low price, so the negotiations ended and we decided to move forward. We took the house off the market, signed papers to turn it into a rental, and then WHAM the buyer comes back with a reasonable offer.
It's one thing to say goodbye to a house, but another to try to say goodbye to our dogs. Now that our house is being sold, and us not knowing what will happen after YWAM, we began desperately looking for a loving home here for them. We wanted them to have stability, love and happiness.
I spent many months crying over them and wondering why God would call the human members of our family out, while "sacrificing" the canine companions. It seemed like the unselfish thing to do would be to spare them from our uncertain futures.
But, they're our family and we're in for the ride together! Where we go, they will follow! So, they will be spending 4 months in quarantine in Hawaii, and then the next two months with my dad. My dad is an animal lover and my heart is so happy that I know they'll be loved when we're not there.
That's as far as the planning for us goes. We don't know what's in our future. We don't know where we'll live, or what jobs we'll have or what country we'll be in, but we do know that we're going to do our best to stick together. So, they'll just need to get used to being "hot dogs"!
