Almost 4 years!

I can't believe how fast the time went! It feels like I've had her for about a year now.
{ I've decided to do our "4 year anniversary post" early because I probably won't be home for the 'official' day. }
On January 20, 2007 at about 1:00 on a Saturday afternoon, I was given this beautiful horse... Shelby.  This was one of our first rides.

She was a complete gift from a family friend. She had originally wanted $3500 for her. There was no way I could afford her, I was only 14. So after a few months of NOTHING, she told my dad she'd give her to us for $1500. Still, I couldn't do it. More months past. Then, she spontaneously decided to just GIVE her to me! She said she had been praying for a girl who just wanted a horse to ride and have fun with........ :)


}God is so Good{

His love is unfailing...

I am so thankful for Jesus Christ. I am so thankful that He loves me even when it seems like no one else does. Even when it seems like I'm having a bad day or nothing's going "right", He's always there to pick me up and help me to 'start anew'. I am so thankful that He sent His only Son to die on the cross for me. To save me from my wicked ways. To give me a hope and a future. I am so thankful for His Word. I am so indebted to Him that I can never-ever repay Him for all He has done, is doing, and continues to do for me. He is amazing. He is my Savior. He is my everything. He is the Risen King. He is my Heavenly Father. He is God only wise. He is my Maker and Redeemer. He is the Everlasting Father. He is the Prince of Peace. He is the reason for the season. :-)


"He is teaching me to follow Him — joyfully, expectantly, hopefully, and faithfully."
