A Rider's Prayer
Dearest Creator in Heaven,
Give me strength to guide my horse. Make my hands soft and my head clear. Let my horse understand me and I him. My heart you have blessed with a special love of these animals. Let me never lose sight of it. My soul you have gifted with a deep need for them. Let that need never lessen. Always let my breath catch as the sun gleams on an elegant head. Always my my throat...

Good morning, Beautiful
I’m not going to lie. From time to time I find myself in the dreamy hours of the morning longing for the day I can roll over and hear the words “Good morning beautiful” come from the man of my dreams. Ya know, the guy God made to be my partner…someone who loves horses almost as much as I do, will ride with me, will take me to a horseshow for a date, will understand my passion and obsessions with...
Storms (pt 2) - The whisper through the rain
(Written spring 2010)
“Cherish Yesterday, Dream for Tomorrow, Live Today.” - My new motto.
Well as difficult as it may be to not worry about the storm that is to come, it’s even more difficult to be content while right smack dab in the middle of a storm. During our cross-country move last year I came to a point when I found myself wanting to pray “God, I was sure by now you would step in and...
Storms (pt 1) - The Miracle of the Moment
(Written in the spring of 2010)
I live in the land of extreme weather… In Oklahoma it seems it will be 100 degrees one day and snow the next. Well, that’s a bit dramatic…but it’s close to that, and you get the idea. This is my first spring back in Oklahoma since I was 11 years old and I’m trying to get used to all this crazy weather again. This time of year seems to be extra un-predictable…with...

46And Mary said:
“My soul glorifies the Lord
47and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
This Christmas more than ever I find myself clinging to my Lord and desiring nothing more than to allow him to work through me. Being an instrument of God’s love is on the very tip top of my list of...

His Healing Arrows
Every morning I spend quiet time with the Lord, reading and reflecting on a small portion of His word, and purposefully praying for His will in my life and those close to me. As of late, I’ve also been reading short devotions from a lovely little book called “Psalms to soothe a woman’s heart”. This morning, the reading literally made my heart beat faster and harder as I...

Shake it off and take a step up
A story sent to me by a friend -
One day a farmer’s donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do. Finally, he decided the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway; it just wasn’t worth it to retrieve the donkey. He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him. They all grabbed a shovel and...

But this I know with all my heart...
I was sitting contently between my mom and my youngest brother on our usual pew, 8 rows from the front, just right of the center…just as I do nearly every Sunday morning. As it can be from time to time, it was difficult for me to totally focus on my worship at the beginning of the service. My brain was still spinning a million miles a minute as I was thinking about friends in need, relationships...
