"Do something crazy and dumb, while your still young!"

Those are actually words to a country song. The song states that hey, life is short so do something you love while you still can! For some reason this song has been in my head this week....sorta can't get it out! It reminds me of the Biblical principle of redeeming our time because our time here on this earth IS short! So, what on earth are we doing for Heaven's sake?! Sometimes, I wonder if I'm doing enough for God.....other times I look at others and what they are doing for Him and wonder why God isn't using me more?! Am I not good enough? Why is everyone so talented but me? Hey, God, remember me? Do we have a plan here or what? About the time I'm done with asking all these questions, I begin to feel frustrated and God knows this. For example, the last 2 weeks He has shown me my talents, His love and why He made me and put me on this earth. No, I may not be a superior preacher.....I may not be a missionary who goes through torture for Jesus.....But this I will tell you, I was made by Jesus to be used by Him and I am doing exactly what He says to me. It may not seem like much at times, but it is where He has placed me. Until He says move, I stay where I am.

Well, the new filly at Alamar Acres is turning out to be a project. She doesn't know how to suck off of her mother. We have been giving her a milk mix called mares milk which she will drink out of a bucket. She also seems a bit slow in the brain-poor little girl-It takes her forever to realize where her mom is and it takes her forever to follow her mom which makes it difficult to get her in and out of the pasture. Hoping she comes around-she is very pretty.....

I had a long day at work working from 7:20 t0 4:45ish, but it was ok...as long as I don't have to work that long every day, I'll be happy! I rode Kitty when I got home, but lightning and rain cut our rider shorter than I wanted. However, I still got in a workout! Looking forward to riding more this weekend!

I'm also exciting/nervous about going to His Ranch in Taylor, Missouri this summer with my horses to show off their tricks and demonstrate some riding skills-so I've been practicing a bunch-just need that sand arena....: )
