Greetings again [MENTION=96431]aliciation[/MENTION]
I'm sorry to hear about the passing of your dog, I know how they become one of the family members. We lost our dog on Thanksgiving day 2012 after 14 years. It was difficult.
One thing is certain in this life, and that is the trials that will be set before us to test our faith. All of the great people of the Bible both Old and New Testaments had all gone through trials and tribulations of some sort; but it was their faith that kept them through it. When doors of opportunity seem to be closed and locked, or when there seems to be a cloud over our lives and it just seems to pour rain and storm over us. That is when our faith is tested the most, but how we react and deal with those moments, this is when our faith is shown at work. We must be faithful and continue pushing through all the trials and tribulations in our own lives, and we are in good company, pick any person or persons from the Bible and look at how their faith pulled them through it.

I want you to know that you don't have to hope for or second guess God's forgiveness of your sins. The Bible tells us in
1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
So then we can be assured of this promise because whom the Son sets free is free indeed John 8:36
God Bless you
