THE HEARTWARMING JOURNEY OF HAVING A RESCUE PET: CHALLENGES AND REWARDS


Both of my pets are rescues... never a dull moment with these two! And of course we know that rescues, many times, need some special TLC and emotional support, whether they be dogs, cats or horses. Many of us who have opened our homes and hearts to rescue pets know that while the path can be challenging, the rewards of these unique relationships are immeasurable. The journey of caring for a rescue pet involves patience, understanding, and love, but the transformation and mutual bond formed are profoundly life-changing.

Many rescue pets come from backgrounds of neglect, abuse, or abandonment. They may exhibit fear, anxiety, or aggression as a result of their previous experiences. It can be heart-wrenching and challenging to work through these emotional barriers. Patience and consistent, gentle care are vital to help them feel safe and loved.

Rescue pets often come with a host of health problems, too, some of which may not be apparent immediately. Dealing with these issues can be time-consuming and sometimes costly. Ensuring your pet has a healthy diet, regular vet checkups, and a clean, safe environment are crucial steps in their recovery. Untrained or poorly socialized pets may display undesirable behaviors such as excessive barking, chewing, or even bathroom accidents. Addressing these issues requires time, dedication, and sometimes the help of a professional trainer or behaviorist.

But the rewards outweigh the challenges. Perhaps the most profound reward of adopting a rescue pet is the unconditional love they offer. Once they learn to trust and bond with you, the connection is incredibly strong and pure. This bond is a powerful reminder of the resilience of trust and love. Taking care of a rescue pet encourages personal growth in ways you might not have expected. It teaches responsibility, patience, and empathy. Watching a pet overcome their fears and begin to thrive can be an incredibly rewarding experience that fosters a deep sense of accomplishment and joy.

By choosing to adopt a rescue pet, you're giving them a second chance at life. The impact of this decision extends far beyond providing shelter. You create opportunities for these animals to experience love, comfort, and security. As they flourish in their new environment, you'll find your life enriched in ways you couldn't have foreseen. Studies have shown that pets can significantly improve our physical and mental health. From reducing stress and anxiety to encouraging more physical activity, the presence of a pet in your life offers a myriad of health benefits.

Welcoming a rescue pet into your life is a leap of faith intertwined with immense love and an unforgettable transformation journey. The hurdles of rehabilitation and care are vastly outweighed by the sheer joy of seeing your pet’s unique personality unfold, becoming visibly happier and more at ease day by day. This journey with a rescue pet stands as a powerful testament to the strength of love, patience, and perseverance. Opting to bring a rescue pet into your home alters not just their life but yours as well, enriching it in the most profound and beautiful ways.

Simple ways to consistently connect with God...










Empowering Christian women in their spiritual journey with Prayer, Devotions, Personalized Rhythms  Aromatherapy.





Hi friend, I’m Paula

 
… a grandma, pastor and follower of Jesus

I've always felt pulled to the quiet, sacred spaces where transformation happens—not in the spotlight of large ministries, but in the intimate moments of women (and men's) lives. As a spiritual midwife, I walk alongside Christian women, guiding them through the space between struggle and breakthrough, helping them uncover their God-given identity.

Faith, Coaching, and Lived Experience

Unlike many, my approach stems from real-life wisdom, not just theory. 

  • As a Christian coach and certified practitioner in holistic techniques, I draw from my own story to teach others.
  • I believe in the power of small steps that add up over time, like starting with a simple prayer or a moment of journaling amidst the chaos of daily life.
  • Through one-on-one coaching, I help women build sustainable devotional rhythms that bring calm and clarity, transforming overwhelm into opportunities for revelation.
I'm passionate about empowering women to integrate faith into their everyday routines—whether that's balancing family, work, or personal growth. By weaving Scripture with practical self-care strategies, I show how these elements can help you feel more connected to God and at peace in your relationships. As a mom and grandma myself, I understand the profound influence we have on our children and grandchildren, and I love reminding women of the eternal impact of their faithful steps.

Embracing Your Unique Calling

At the heart of my work is a celebration of individuality, inspired by truths like those in Psalm 139:14, which reminds us that we are fearfully and wonderfully made. I see the God-sized potential in every woman I meet, even when it's hidden under layers of busyness or doubt. My gifts—empathetic listening, biblical insight, and a knack for creating sacred rhythms—serve as bridges between ancient faith and modern life. I encourage you to give yourself room to breathe, to honor your unique path, and to make it doable today by taking those first, gentle steps toward freedom and empowerment.

If you're yearning for a deeper connection with God, more balance in your daily life, and the tools to strengthen your faith, I'm here to guide you. Let's start that journey together—save your seat for an Aroma of Christ Coaching Hour + Peace RESET and discover how small, consistent changes can lead to lasting transformation.
