Growth

I leave for college in two days.

I am so excited. I am terrified. I am giddy. I am sad. I am so incredibly excited to see what God has in store.

Goodbyes are not easy and saying goodbye to those here is going to hurt. I know that Blackhawk is not going to be easy, it will be hard. It is so far outside of my comfort zone, but the beauty in that is that God will grow me. I am so comfortable here at home in my routine. I can not wait to be pushed out of my comfort zone and experience God's peace and be stretched and grown by Him in ways that are un-imaginable right now.

I pray that while I am at school God will reveal a ministry for me in the horse world. My passion is horses but more than that my passion is God. I want to glorify and worship Him through horses and I want to impact the Kingdom through horses. My prayer for this year is that God will show me what that actually looks like. I am in a place of total surrendrance... these past several months God has asked me to surrender absolutely everything. My horses, my health, my family, my friends, my heart. I can not wait to see what He has in store for the coming year.

I trust in His plan. I do not know where I am going to be a year from now. But I trust that it will be where God wants me.

Jeremiah 29:11
Proverbs 3:5-6

  2. My thoughts are with you! Growing our comfort zones is never easy... but the only consistent thing in life is change, right? I'm sure you'll do brilliantly as you discover this next season of life!!
