1. The Beginning (Written Jan 18, 2021)

I am not a writer.  I don't write in a journal or diary... I don't look for opportunities to write... I don't really enjoy the process and I'm not good at setting time aside to write. I am just not a writer.  But...

Yes, there is a but.  

BUT, when God calls you to do something, you better do it!

You see, He's laid it on my heart to do this blog.  It started months ago... but I have been arguing with Him.  I am NOT a writer, I don't enjoy writing and I don't write anything just for the fun of it.  

Now my mom, well, she is a writer!  Part of her job at one point in her life was writing curriculum and right now she's writing a book... and she wants to start a blog. She sets time aside each day to write because she loves to write... but me... no way!

And so God has patiently been moving in my heart... urging me... putting that desire to share some things that He has taught me and that He is still teaching me.  He is reminding me that it's never been about me at all...but about Him, His message and Who He is.

So here I am... starting a blog page.  I don't know how well I'll do but I'll do my very best on what God has laid my heart. Little messages, little blessings, little life lessons that He has blessed me with. 

Who am I to tell Him no?

And so it begins...

It begins with a small blessing that turned into many blessings.  It begins with Star, our horse... my first horse and only horse as of right now.

The pic above was taken on the day she arrived at our house back in April 2020. Little did I know that God would use her among other blessings to help me get through some very difficult times I faced this past year.

Only God knew what was about to happen...only He knew that we'd be facing a Covid-19 epidemic and only He knew what I needed. Just having Star, taking care of her and watching her graze brought peace to my heart.  

And so now it begins... God using her in teaching me things... things such as hope, comfort, trust, and peace. 

More to come later...
