Yesterday:
Someone asked if I was ready for Christmas. I replied no, wondering why she was asking. She took my answer as I didn't like Christmas and then reassured me it would all be over soon, just a few more days. I smiled and nodded and then continued cleaning out my horse’s hooves. A FEW MORE DAYS?!?! It just hit me that it's really almost Christmas!

Butter is lame. He should recover quickly, as it’s not severe and there’s no real damage. It breaks my heart when he isn’t feeling well. I’m used to seeing his strength and power, when he’s weak it’s just a reminder that’s he isn’t invincible. If he can be so helpless, how much more can I? It’s crazy to think about. I am praying God heals him soon. I jumped another horse today. There’s no one like my Butter. He’s so perfect for me. I hope he last forever! That’s an unrealistic thing to hope for though. I know there will be horses in heaven, but I wonder if the horses on earth go to heaven. Each one has so much personality and intricate detail why would God make them to live for 30 years and then turn back into dirt. I sure hope Butters does. Enough talk about Butters dying that shouldn’t happen for a while. :)

Contemplating Coffee

"Early to bed, early to rise makes a man healthy wealthy and wise!" -Benjamin Franklin

I've tried for a while now to make this a practice, and have been quite successful. It can take a great man a life time of accomplishments to become great, it can all be forgotten with one mistake. Same with a habit. After only one week of not waking up early I could barely drag myself out of bed at 7 this morning. Oops, let's see how long it takes to get back on track. Well I'm going to get allot done today(I'm talking to my self, like as a reminder). I'll pass on the coffee.

I had a wonderful day going up to Santa Clarita Valley to my dear friends Bethany and Kristen Hubbs. It is great to have friends that no matter how long it's been since you've seen them last they're still there and you friendship doesn't weaken over distance. In this case it hasn't been that long of a time since I saw them over Thanksgiving break, but there's been longer. We broke our Christmas gingerbread house tradition this year and made ice cream cone Christmas trees instead. Though I was slightly hesitant, upon being reassured that it was 100% eatable gave my stamp of approval on the switch, and it actually turned out quite nicely. Had an equally wonderful car ride with my Mom, I'm so blessed to have her in my life. She always gives wise council and makes a great chatting buddy. All in all the day was a good one. :)

Wednesday marks the middle of the week and this particular week means the first week of break is half way over. This would be fine, for I'm looking forward to getting back to the books next semester, but I have nothing to show for it. I better start getting busy tomorrow!

Let's Try This Again

The other day I read an inspiring blog, which got me thinking. Two years ago I tried blogging myself only to realize after a few post I had nothing to say and decided to stop. Now I am going to start again for I do have something to say. In fact, I have much to say, though I do not know what it is yet. I'm figuring it would be nice to get a head start on documenting my life, because I'll be much to busy to catch up on it later when I actually have something worth documenting. This is not to say my life is currently boring or pointless, for it is far from either. My days are full and something is always happening, but not much that concerns the general public.

I do believe God places the desires of your heart there for a reason, and is faithful to give when you ask. I have personally seen this first hand and there's nothing like seeing something right in front of you to make a believer out of you. Well God has made it the strong desire of my heart to change the world for him, and that's what I ask of him, which leads me to believe he is going to use me for something. I realize by myself I am only a sinner in need of a savior, but with Christ I am now sinner saved by grace. I lowly girl on her own what can she accomplish?A girl accepted onto God's side, the same God who is the creator of the universe and the great I am, what could she not do? Because of what Christ has done by saving me from the pit of despair and domain of darkness, I am willing to do whatever he asks of me. I don't yet know all his plans, nor will I tell the day I have lived his plans out and see him face to face, but I know he does have a plan for me. So I will patiently seek him to discover his will. Here's my story, the story of justification, redemption, and sanctification!
