So last night was the scariest night for me in a while and the biggest test of faith.Lately I havent been able to meditate or be strong In my spirituality and it was a confusing feeling for me the past couple weeks,and it made me question a lot, including my faith in God itself and Iv been often wondering if there really is something out there that does listen to us when we pray. I usually pray before bed,when I have nightmares ect. But strangely enough never in an emergency. Last night me and josh where talking and our German Shepard Chief was getting over excited and running through the house at high speed knocking stuff over so we put him in the garage to play with toys till we where done with our convo and then planned to go get him and play with him in 5 minutes.It turns out our side door was unlocked and Chief opened the door with his nose and left. Josh opened the garage door to play with him and he was gone. He was nowhere to be seen and it was silent outside.Immediately we went out looking and I was clapping and screaming Chiefs name like a crazy person and then I stopped panicking. I prayed to Jesus and said the Our Father (which I never do) and I continued to run down the street. Josh picked me up quick in his truck and we where gunna drive and look for him. As I sat there looking around I repeatedly said the Our Father and begged God to help me find my little guy. I promised I wouldnt question God anymore and that I would be thankful for all things in life, good or bad,and I promised to complain less.Then all of a sudden directly after making that promise we where driving pretty far down the road and through two intersections and then Josh screams there he is! And we speed up and pull over and he came running over to us immediately all happy like nothing happened.Some people might think its dumb of me to call this an emergency worth praying about, but my dog is my family. The thought of him lost,hurt, or found by dangerous strangers are all my biggest fears. I dont know if my prayers where connected to us finding Chief but I have never felt so lucky or felt like I was truly being listened to by something greater than myself.I am forever grateful of this universe and to have my fluff butt back home safe and sound ❤️🙏
