when God speaks - listen

when God tells you something you should listen. He knows everything and has a reason for everything He says. like telling me "but only for one year" when i was thanking him for bringing me home to costa rica oct 2nd 2004.

the family calling the puppy canda bothered me. today different family members were speaking in whispered voices telling other people how i reacted to the puppys name.

and as if to taunt me the 2 year that the mom cares for was saying it repeatedly over and over about 50 times while the dad just laughed.

the more he said it the more upset i got. it was time to clean up and pack up. i thought about changing my ticket i was so upset. but then i thought of how much i knew i would miss the boys when i returned to canada so i didn't want to rush that.

i talked to dany about it. the man was homeless, lived under a bridge, was nica and had a long record. i suggested that the man might have been looking for shelter. maybe not. but he was still a human life. 2 dogs took 2 hours ripping this man apart while police watched. the police said they couldn't shoot the dogs cuz they might have hit the man, yet the video camera that caught the action showed the dogs walked away a couple of times.

dany told his parents they had to change the name and it's now canelo (cinnamon). dany was upset that i was upset.

i felt like cinderella - when the fairy godmother told her to have fun but to be sure to be home by midnight. and things started changing when she stayed longer than she should have.

today i came to san jose for the weekend.

costa rica still feels like home and i would still want to live here but i need to listen when God speaks.
