Overwhelming Presence

I will start from the beginning. My mom came down to see Erin and I and then her and Erin were going to Texas to see my cousins for a few days. Anyway I was not going to go because they were going to be gone to long while I am looking for work and I needed to spend the time during the week looking for a job. I was fine about it till about 11:00pm tonight when I was hit with an overwhelming feeling telling me I had to go. I laid in bed for several minutes trying to get it to go away but it only got worse. I finally ended up calling my mom and telling her I was really torn about not going with them and seeing my cousins. The feeling was so overwhelming that I could not even talk about it with out breaking down and crying. Mom and I met outside to talk about it but I was not able to talk with out crying and then Erin came out and we all talked and finally said a prayer about it. I am at peace now, but still recovering from the presence of God. This is the second time I have had an experience like this. The first one was not nearly as strong and it was when I was supposed to go to Colorado for Thanksgiving but God said no and to stay. I did and it was a very wonderful week and one of my most memorable times with Sara B. So I am going now and feel at peace. God will speak very loud and clear when you need to hear it most. God is amazing, seek him at all costs. ~Semper Fi

God is Amazing

Since my last post things have quieted down a lot for me and God gave me a wonderful surprise for sticking it all out. I don't remember what day it was but earlier this week I got an email from my math teacher with our grade for our last test and our final grade in the class. After failing the test during the most intense part of the fight, I needed to get at least an eighty or more to get a C in the class. I took the final test and totally felt like I had failed it for sure therefore failing the class, cause I totally felt like I blanked and couldn't remember how to do anything. God is amazing and thanks to him I made and 86 and got a C in the class, which was just what I needed. I was so surprised and excited, I couldn't believe it, God is good.

Yesterday was wonderful. Sara B and I got up early to go riding, because we wanted to beat the heat so we could do a lot of running and have plenty of time to work with them. Pedro was being really good and Jake was being kind of tooty, wanting to run off and not listening, especially when Pedro was around. So I rode around different parts of the field and to get out of sight while Sara did circles and lots of them. Anyway we did that for about an hour or so and I would comeback and check on her and to see how things were going. Then we rode down to the river and sat there for a bit in the cooler air. After that we rode some more and thought about seeing how over grown and accessible it was. We started heading over there and Jake was still not listen real well, so I kept going while Sara B did some more circles with him. Anyway I got over to the other field and waited a bit for Sara B and when she didn't show up I headed the rest of the way to the entry and rode down to the river. It was a bit steep but doable with out dismounting. I scouted it out and then headed back to find Sara B. After I founded here we both headed to the river and when we got down there we both thought about rolling our pants up and standing in it, so we walked the horse of over to this nice long that is just right for a hitching post and tied them up and got ready to get in the water. At first the mud was about six inches deep and so we walked a little further down the bank and found a much better place. There was a long that extended out into the river a ways, so Sara B started to climb out on it and did just fine until she tried to come back. On her way back she lost her balance and ended up jumping of and landing waist deep in the water, which by the way was ice cold, she made some great nosies and faces, lol. After that she just sat down on the log in the water and so I joined her on the long but on a part that was not under water, but covered in mud. After getting cooled of and chatting she got of and tried to fall over in the mud, cause she doesn't have the leet mud walking skills I do, so I helped to keep her from getting all the way wet. After that she tried to push me over on the log, which didn't work because I was leaning kind of forward and she didn't push hard enough. Of course if she had pushed harder I would have grab her and took her with me which would have been funny. The water was cold but it felt so good after getting hot and being in the sun so long. It was a really good time and Jake was doing much better by the end of the day. Both of us thought it was one of the best times riding we have had in awhile. It was such a good time.

In other news I have started looking for a job I can have for the next year while I finish school, to make money to get a car and to be able have enough money for when I finally move out and get a really job, so please pray for that and for vigilance and open eyes. God is good! ~Semper Fi
