Life Lately...

God is constantly so unbelievably good and faithful. I can't get enough of His love! Lately, things have been adjusting back into a semi-normal routine with school starting back up. Zi is back at school with me which is great since I need to get him back in shape for show season. This is my last semester at BHE which I really can't believe.

I was thinking a lot about that today... for three semesters I have been at this school where I have faced one of the most difficult trials of my life and yet one of the most beautiful seasons of my life. God has done more than I ever could have fathomed and He has refined me and grown me in ways I never imagined. As I look to the future and what next year holds, I don't get scared or overwhelmed because I am so confident in the fact that God has a plan and will give me the strength for wherever He calls me to go. All I desire is to be where He wants me to be.

On the horse front, things have been fantastic... Zi is coming along better than I had hoped and I'm really excited to see about some shows this summer and trying to market myself as a trainer. I just want to keep working unceasingly in this horse industry and see what God does. If I am confident of anything, it is that He has called me to be a light and a witness within the equine world and that is where He has gifted me. I often feel so unworthy of being used by the Lord and I am so thankful for His amazing grace and unending love. This is the desire of my life: If I have to go through trial or critiscism or hardship and God is seen through that and someone comes to know Him then everything is worth it. That is eternal. That matters more than any horse show or training job or colleg because at the end of my life all I want is to be in my savior's arms and be able to worship and praise him constantly
. I am so thankful for what God is doing and I am so excited to see where He takes me in these coming months! Surrender is beautiful.

Philippians 1:21 For me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
