Most of you knew my awesome orange Tabby named Joy Boy. I was 5 when I named him after myself. About a month after having him I was told by a good friend that Joy was not a girl. So he became Joy Boy! He was my little buddy! We were so close even from the start. He would sleep with me almost every night. I remember one night when I was having a hard time dealing with some bad news from my parents my mom brought Joy into my room and told me to just love on him and I did and I felt so much better. Then looking at pictures of him tonight on my computer I found one of him with his face in a Chick-fil-a bag :) He was a funny cat! he loved the smell of CFA. I remember when he would stick his whole face into a tiny cup to get the tiny bit of milk left at the bottom of the cup. He was the cat that all my non cat loving friends loved, even the allergic ones! I said goodbye to him today. He had stopped eating and drinking and seemed to be in a lot of pain when walking and had lost a lot of weight in the last few months. I didn't want him to suffer so we had him put down. After they placed the IV I held him until he was gone. After that I just held him and cried. My childhood friend was gone. but he was no longer in pain. He was watching me cry and crying in the car he knew it was time and I am glad he didn't suffer for long. With all of that going on I was very sad but tonight I was given a reason to celebrate! My roommate Megan Lambert got saved! I've been praying for her and hoping that God would speak clearly to her and he did! I am so excited about that! Thank you Lord for ending this day on a positive note. I know that all things happen for a reason!
Other than today my week went well I worked a lot got to talk to my previous Boss about what God is doing in my life. That was exciting! I also got to talk to a few good friends and share with them what God is doing! It's been a great week over all even including today! Thank you all for your thoughts!
