Doug and I are in the process of getting our house ready for sale so we can purchase property where I can keep horses. I've always wanted a home where I can keep my horses on my own place. We've seen some beautiful homes. Waiting is the hard part.
The Bible has a lot to say about waiting. Psalm 14:17 tells us to wait on the Lord and He will strengthen our hearts. Daniel 6 tells of a long night in a lion's den as Daniel waited on God. I choose to trust Him and wait for His answer. I must remember that waiting is GOOD for me because it reminds me I'm not in charge. God is. No one was ever disappointed while waiting and trusting in God. Why, Abraham waited decades for the promise of Isaac's birth to happen! And it did happen, just as God said it would.
God is never late. So I'll wait.

Where has the summer gone?
September is here (actually over half-way to October). Summer just flew by! We had our hot days, our rainy days, our floods and our mosquitoe plagues! But I enjoy every day I can be out at the barn with my horse. I'll tell you, though, I can't wait for "fly season" to be over. The cooler days of Fall are just right for riding! Soon the colors will change and the trees will be awash in reds, golds, and browns.
The last week of August my husband and I took a vacation to the Grand Canyon. Once I can get my computer and my digital camera to cooperate, I'll have some pics to post. We had a great time in Arizona! Flagstaff is a beautiful town with warm sunny days and cool nights. The Canyon itself was breath-taking! We went out and back by train and that was a lot of fun! I'd like to travel by train again sometime. Everyone at Amtrak was so nice and helpful! Sleeping on the train was very different! (My advice -- the lower bunk is more comfortable!)
So is trying to brush your teeth, take a shower, wash your face, etc...
They fed us very well on Amtrak. The food was excellent and lots of it! Every meal we got to meet someone new. We talked with fellow travellers from all over! That was wonderful!
I enjoyed my vacation very much but missed my horse, too. Rusty was glad to see me when I got home.
