Ephesian 5: 25-27

 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her 26 to make her holy, cleansing[b] her by the washing with water through the word, 27 and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. 

Lord, you see me as a diamond, refined gold, and you allow me to enter the process of being refined and polished, because you know who I am, you know I have the potential to rise up. Because you are God, you chose me to be presented in front of you. You want me to become holy and blameless, worthy to be presented to you and be accepted by you.

Guinea PIg Ate too much vegetables and had a ballooned tummy for 3 months

I have 2 boy guinea pigs at their 2-3 years old. I gave them too much vegetables and thought it's okay. They were eating an average of 4 cups of vegetables each and until they stopped eating (for about 2 months). They gained weight and I didn't realize their stomach can't handle the excessive gas. I thought they just ate and grew fat. One day I notice the outgoing guinea pig shook his body a few times like he was in a mini seizure. I panicked and watched him closely. I found that his legs were weaker than before and didn't want to move like usual. His stomach seemed like a mini balloon. I started researching online on these symptoms. I found many threads on "guinea pig's stomach bloat issue" and got very worried. I couldn't afford taking him to the vet and I wish I had. I spent hours on the internet researching and reading stories, watching youtubes on stories of sick, bloated guinea pigs. I prayed for him and asked God to intervene. I felt guilty that I couldn't afford professional medical help for him and apologized to him.

At the end, I found suggestions online to treat his stomach issue. I massaged his belly (by vibrating him on my lap or a massager or by hand) for 15-45mins, fed him some baby anti-gas medicine in the lowest dosage, fed him as much timothy hay as he'd like, repeat 3 times a day. I also let him have daily floor time to exercise. Poor guy would drag his weak legs around but he was happy to chase after his friend. This process took 1 full month to see some improvement. A second month had gone and he was back to healthy and I slowly weaned him off the anti-gas med and daily massage. I was exhausted spending 3-5 hours a day to take care of him keeping a close watch on his poop, behavior and shiny eyes. His behaviors could tell a lot about his health status.
After this I did my research on the healthy amount of vegetables to feed guinea pigs and what are some vegetables to avoid and keep.
I have learned so much more about guinea pigs and that my God answered my prayer to save my sick baby!
