So thankful God carries me and holds me. It's not just in hard moments it's not just when we repent. It's each and every day. Draw close to him today. He's closer than you think.

I recently had the opportunity to listen to a prof

I recently had the opportunity to listen to a professional horse trainer speak. At the end he opened it up for a Q&A. A few of the riders wondered how to ‘fix’ the problem of their horse taking off before they are fully mounted and ready. It’s a bad habit for a horse to have. Not to mention unsafe for the rider. But he had a great point, he said, “I’ve seen it happen with colts even after a few rides. No habit was formed they just want to take off.” The practical advice he gave was spot on. Suggesting they start over each time their horse takes a step before they are ready. And to also pause at the mounting block taking a few moments to just pet your horse.
When reflecting later on about what he said my mind went to the Lord and how He asks us to wait. The Lord is ready to go with us, but we are trying to take off before He is ready. Therefore, He’s gives a, “whoa.” Putting a pause on our plans or making things a bit more difficult for us.
For reasons only He can know does He ask us to wait. Maybe things haven’t fully aligned yet to accomplish His plan. Maybe He is growing our character.
Just like the trainer said it’s in our nature to be in a hurry and ready to go. No one had to teach us to be this way. But rather, we must learn to wait. God always has something to teach us in the waiting period.
I know He has great and wonderful things up ahead on the trail for us to see and do, but we must go when He is ready. Let us sit still for a minute while He pets on us and reassures us that everything is okay.
He will let us know when the time is right. He will give the signal. But learn to wait. Take pleasure in it. By waiting we are doing God a great honor. We all want that horse that doesn’t take a step without the rider’s prompting. Let’s stand firm for the Lord.

Meet Chico, the newest addition to our herd and family. He is a 3 year old miniature horse. He is so well behaved for his age but still has lots to learn. Needless to say, we love him and so grateful God brought him into our life. Excited for this new chapter.

I was trying to roll the ball under him. Something I do with my other horse, but Mathias being only 14 hands, it didn't quite fit.
I work him completly at liberty. Therefore, he could've ran off. But instead he ran a short distance and turned and faced the ball and me again. Showing great bravery by standing his ground as the scary object continued to advance towards him.
It reminds me how God gives us free will. He wants us to willingly follow Him. Then when somethings scary happens in our life He asks us to look to Him and trust Him. So many people run away and miss out on God's best for them.
What is the ball stuck under you? A cancer scare? A wayward child? Finacial debt? Whatever it is face it full on with the Lord. You have no spiritual armor on the backside. Stand therefore! Don't let it make you run too far from the Lord. He is there, full of compassion, ready to comfort you. 🤎

In Christ alone is salvation, freedom, peace, mercy, truth, and joy.

I heard this recently, and I thought about the most profound moments I’ve experienced in my life, and they aren’t the ones you typically celebrate, but they’ve been so profound that they will stick with me forever.

The day my daughter was born, she also died in my arms. I will remember and hold this moment forever in my heart. It was beautiful. It was painful. It was life changing.

Fast forward a week to the day of her funeral. I lay in bed crying out to God. How do I do this? I decided to put worship music on. I found myself with arms raised, worshiping God amidst the most painful time in my life. That moment, that feeling will remain with me the rest of my life. I was so grateful for the gift of having a beautiful baby girl. But was devastated at the loss of her. Pain and joy mingle in the strangest ways sometimes.

This moment on my horse I am wearing a skirt that has been worn by countless other women all over the world who have experienced such a loss. It is beautiful, but it represents pain and loss. But so much more than that. Though we have scars, we are fighting the good fight. We are more than conquerors through Him who loves us!

Thank you to @journeyforjasmine for the opportunity to participate in project finding your rainbow.

Sometimes I pray about something and doubt whether

Sometimes I pray about something and doubt whether God will really come
through. But what if you changed the narrative? Instead of doubting, get excited about it!

God, I can’t wait to see how you are going to answer this!

Because the truth of the matter is God is in the business of answering prayers. He even delights in it.

I tell you what, pray, and keep praying because if God doesn’t answer right away, He is strengthening your faith muscle.

You can’t get in shape after one workout.

And there are some things in life that are simply worth praying over for years. Think eternally. Don’t pray for material wealth. Think about what
really lasts. This is the kind of currency God accepts at His bank. And those kinds of prayers earn high yield! Compounding for years to come.

No prayer goes unheard. And neither does it go unanswered.

I believe this platform can be used for good. To not just share highlights of our life, but connect and grow in God's word.
I recently wrote a Bible study about Rahab. Her faith is so inspiring. I'd love to send it to you.

Great news!!!
As some of you may know this little guy came up lame last fall. The diagnosis was an OCD lesion. Which I was told required surgery. Not being familiar with this condition I came across a supplement called OCD Pellets during my research. I decided to start him on that while we saved for the surgery. I began to notice improvement more and more. He wasn't limping at all anymore. I took him in Friday to have him x-rayed again and to my delight he showed 50% improvement in 3 months.
He has been cleared for light groundwork. We will take him back in 3 or 4 months to see where we are again.
I wanted to share this for several reasons. One it's awesome news. Second, to share the OCD pellets. I will leave a link for that at the bottom of this post. And lastly, to offer you the book I wrote to raise money for him absolutely free when you subscribe to my email list. Thanks be to God for answered prayers!

This is a fun exercise to work on drawing your horse and pushing them away. Spacing the cones out far enough helped and so did my speed to the next cone.
