I attended a meeting this afternoon in a tack room off the side of a barn. This is the OPRA (Old People's Riding Club) chapter that is just getting started in this part of NC. The meeting started just as a powerful storm was rolling in. The thunder, lightning and intense rain-fall made me (secretly) a bit scared. Knowing the power of a storm can be a bit unsettling, however, knowing the benefits of this storm made me very content inside. Oh how we need this rain!
During times like this, we can all make the parallels to our lives with regards to the "storms" we have experienced in our lives. Sometimes we have to wait on the storm to pass. Sometimes we must pass through the storm or allow the storm to pass through us, wiping out whatever was in its path. Sometimes we are immediately delivered by the storm and never have to endure the rainfall, but this option; one we might pray for, does not always teach us much or grow our character. Regardless of the storms in your life, I pray you have the endurance to either run through or withstand the intensity of the trials. Hold on tight, it can bring great joy and growth ahead!
Please continue to pray for my horse Decaza, as we are beginning the conditioning and riding process and are praying he does not relapse.
Have a wonderful week!
He is alive indeed!
