Hey everyone,
It’s been a minute since I’ve been heard around,rest assured I visit everyday.
Unfortunately I’ve found myself in a sad and heart straining situation.For those of you who aren’t aware,I raise chickens,and they all are like pets to me,pets that I love dearly,not more than Jesus however.
One of my “favorite” ones,Annie,has contracted something that is affecting her severely.My hypothesis is coccidiosis,a parasitic protozoan thag obstructs the intestines from absorbing food and nutrients and essentially causing chickens to starve.
I’ve been worried to death about her and I’ve been treating her extensively,providing her with the proper medication and encouraging her to eat and drink.Last night I begged and pleaded to The Lord sobbing to please save her life,to ail me Instead of her.
To make matters more difficult I’ve been having an anxiety attack worried that this trial is potential proving my faith isn’t real by some chance.Which is only fueling the fire of my concern as for those of you who know me,a deathly fear of mine is not being a child of God.
Overall this situation is overwhelming me,and I have deeply acknowledged this is all in Gods control and he is the one dictating the circumstances during it,and the breath of life my dear chicken has is his and he can do with it as he pleases.I try to look at it this way,if she remains here,she’ll have a great 10+ year life full of love and peace,and if she dies,her breath of life Goes to an even better place,back to the Father for eternity.
I asked The Lord to please not let her die,and I ask anyone here to pray on her behalf as well,I don’t see her as disposable or a $1 chicken,I see her as priceless
