PLEASE pray for Jovie!!

I don't know who reads this, but I know their are people out there that care about things like this. Right now my family needs prayer...
This past week, our dog, Jovie, has been sick. She wouldn't eat or drink anything and she had a hard time going to the bathroom.
Yesterday morning (Thursday), she started wheezing. It went on all day and come bed-time, I was worried she wouldn't make it through the night.. she slept in her kennel in my room and she woke me up several times hacking, like she was trying to clear her throat so she could breathe. My dad took her to the vet this morning (Friday) and they decided to keep her over the weekend. The vet told us that it looks like she could have an autoimmune disease. Meaning there is no cure. Her blood work came back looking good, and her White Blood Count was not low (which is a good sign), but still, the vet said it doesn't look good.
She's a 6 month old Border-Collie/Spaniel mix, and the sweetest dog you've ever met..
We don't want to lose her.
I know God can heal her and I'm hoping to have many more years with Jovie.
PLEASE pray for Jovie!!

Since Thanksgiving is coming up...
I'm thankful for..

1. My family
2. My friends
3. Frisbee!!
4. The ability to hear
5. Sight
6. Reading
7. Theatre
8. The fact that my parents took the time to homeschool me and my brothers
9. Emotions.. yes, girls, I am thankful for my emotions. I'm not talking about the kinds of emotions that you let run your life. I'm talking about the capacity to love and be loved. To be sincerely thankful. To mean what you say. Crying when you see something tender and sweet. Those kinds of emotions.
10. Life. I could say a lot of the people I know aren't happy with their life, I am not one of them. I am very happy with how things are going. Yes, I can say that I would loveto have a "boyfriend", but I am okay not having one. God knows the right time to bring him into my life, and I just need to be patient.
11. Pets. They make life so much more enjoyable!
12. I am thankful for SO many more things, but the one I am thankful for right now, is the ability to go sleep in nice warm bed... :)

A word, a look...

“I can listen no longer. I must speak to you by such means as are within my reach. You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope. Tell me not that I am too late, that such precious feelings are gone forever. I offer myself to you again with a heart even more your own, than when you almost broke it eight years and a half ago. Dare not say that man forgets sooner than woman, that his love has an earlier death. I have loved none but you. Unjust I may have been, weak and resentful I have been, but never inconstant. You alone have brought me to Bath. For you alone I think and plan. —Have you not seen this? Can you fail to have understood my wishes? —I had not waited even these ten days, could I have read your feelings, as I think you must have penetrated mine. I can hardly write. I am every instant hearing something which overpowers me. You sink your voice, but I can distinguish the tones of that voice, when they would be lost on others. —Too good, too excellent creature! You do us justice indeed. You do believe there is true attachment and constancy among men. Believe it to be the most fervent, most undeviating

“F.W.”

“I must go, uncertain of my fate; but I shall return hither, or follow your party, as soon as possible. A word, a look will be enough to decide whether I enter your father’s house this evening, or never.”

OH! Why don’t we write this way anymore?!

When I read something like this, I can just see the love he had for her leap off the pages.

These words melt my heart. I wish I had a man that loved me/cared about me enough to write me a letter like this.

I am happy with my life right now, but I feel like a huge part of me is missing. One of the most important pieces (God being the most important piece) of my life is missing ~ the other half of my heart. I feel like one of those “best friends” necklaces (of course, I’m the “friend” side, because I’m missing the “best”… he will be my better half… hahaha!) 

I can’t find the matching piece.
