In less than a matter of 24 hours everything we've had planned for the weekend has been overturned. Lu was supposed to go to the lake with her aunt and uncle but the power on the new lake house didn't get turned on. Guess a hot lake house wouldn't be much fun? But we still had a barrel race to go to, that is until Lib started running a fever last night, head hurting, crying, shivering - you get the picture, right? So, I'm thinking about now that a horse show in a heat index of 105 isn't the best place for her even if the actual barrel race is indoors!
Wow, my head was kind of spinning this morning and it wasn't because Lib had me up at 3a.m. I was a little, maybe a lot, disappointed that everything we planned was being changed up so quickly. Plus, Lib has been riding for points/standings and her last show she didn't have a good run so she needs to do some catching up. Being on the couch isn't going to help those standings, ha ha. Then a friend messaged me and said "so sorry for all the changes in your plans, but I'm certain that God has His reasons, even if we can't understand them". It was at that moment, I stepped back and said "I got it God". I messaged her back and at the end I typed "His Ways...."
The other day another friend wrote that she wanted "more Him, less her...less junk" etc. I've learned more than once that if that's not my hearts desire or my goal, that God has a way of making it more about Him and less about me, my wants, my desires. I'm trusting in His plan for this weekend. If I can trust Him with my eternity surely I can trust Him with my weekend.
~His Ways....
"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,"
declares the LORD. 9 "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.
Isaiah 55:8-9 NIV
this is an older picture of Lib and her first barrel horse, who now has arthritis but we still have her. I just love this picture and felt like posting it!
