Reason #1. Pets

.....Cycle Day 25.....
God talks in the bible about how He even cares for the sparrows.  Thinking on that...  One of the reasons God didn't give me children right away, is because of how much He cares for Nick and Frosty. 
    I was feeling very lonely on September 26th 2009.  I was depressed.  I wished I was pregnant, but I was not.  I wanted to mother, very badly.  So in trying to ease my longing desire... that emptiness in my chest...  that desperate need for someone to depend on me....  Jared and I went online and looked up our local animal shelter.  We had been wanting a dog for a while, but just moved into a place where we were allowed to have one.  Online we found an adorable puppy with blonde eyebrows...  We went and got him that same day.
    Coincidence or not... It was about 9months later when I was feeling really down and depressed again about not being a mom yet.  We looked in the newspaper that day and found some kittens in the Free For The Taking, who were litter box trained.  We called them up, headed on out there, and picked up our Frosty.
    God cares about Nick and Frosty.  God knew that we would be the perfect family for them.  That we didn't just need them to ease our loneliness, but that they needed us to be their parents.
    In April Nick will be 3, and Frosty will be 2.  They are growing up and I miss having a "baby" in the house.  Jared has already agreed to let me have another kitten.  But with our work schedules we won't be able to train a new animal until school lets out for the summer.  Are their more furry babies God wants me to have before He gives me a human baby of my own?
