God and Animals

I spent the last year of my life working on animal welfare issues.  Recently, though, I decided to pull out to concentrate more on God.  I think that is what He wants me to do.  But yet, I’m not sure.  The thing is, I can’t stop thinking about animals.  I mean what if God put me here to help animals?  What if that is what He wants me to do and I only think that I should concentrate on God?  Now that doesn’t make much sense when I write it out at all because in reality God would never discourage anyone from concentrating on Him, correct?

So here I sit, still wondering if I made the right decision.  Why can’t I do both?  Why can’t I love animals and God?  Because I’m pretty sure I do anyways, otherwise I wouldn’t have my dogs on my lap or near to me as I write this.  I wouldn’t spend 4 out of 7 days going to Petco to spend time with cats from our local Humane Society and cleaning their cages.  And I wouldn’t STILL be reading about animals on the web.  I don’t know.  I just don’t know.

Maybe just being involved in my own local Humane Society is enough.  Maybe that’s the answer?  Maybe it’s not?  I guess I’ll just have to find out with time since it was only two days ago that I quit Lost Dogs of Wisconsin, retired my Examiner.com title, and said I was no longer going to be involved with animal welfare issues. 

Maybe I need a break.  Maybe that is the answer.  Maybe that is what I need.  I think that’s what I need - just a break.  Yes indeed, that is what I need, a break from all of that. 

I’m off to my Weight Watchers meeting.  I am going to write about that in the very near future.  Thank you, blog, for helping me make a decision as I was writing.  You’re nice like that and I thank you for being my friend.
