Sadness.....

My heart is sad.

Sometimes you just have to wait on the Lord. His timing is not mine own.....
Sometimes you just have to trust that the Lord will do what He says He will do.....

And all the time you need to pray.
For His Word will never go forth and come back void.

Please Father God.
Please let it be soon.

Lord, I want to know You!

Okay.

It is official. The Bible Study starts Thursday, September 1, 2016.

I am hyperventilating. It has been some time since I lead a Precept Bible Study. I have just committed to 16 weeks of digging, studying, praying and listening to God and I have to say I am both scared and excited.

I have been watching and waiting to find a Precept Bible Study near me so that I can attend. FOR TWO YEARS NOW!  I finally figured that if I was going to get what I wanted I would have to start Precept here in Kingman myself. Prayed. Stalled. Prayed. Stalled. And prayed again. Mentioned it to someone and BAM!

I. CANNOT. WAIT!!!

Well actually I can and will but in the meantime I am studying, praying and preparing. A LOT.

Lord, I want to know You

A rose by any other name....

would smell as sweet!

This is the bloom I found this morning on my Double Delight rose bush. I love the scent!

Happy Wednesday, my friend!

Doing it MY way.....

She is a beauty...my Belle. I know she looks brown here but she is really a BLACK Arabian. Alwayswanted a BLACK Arabian. Got one. And last Wednesday she got a tummy ache.

I keep trying to do what this vet is telling me. "Bran does not do a thing for horses. It isn't good for them", she says. So I take them off bran and one gets sick. Coincidence. Right?

Nope. This is the 3rd time I took them off and the 3rd time someone got sick. So I am doing it MY way from now on.

Belle did not like the vet. She would not let her do any injections. She had to give her banamine orally. They did not do a rectal exam either stating they did not have a place to do that. wth???

Psyllium, Epsom salts and electrolytes and she is back to almost normal. So I made her a fly mask to celebrate her recovery.

 

Pretty snazzy, huh? It has spider webs on it because Belle was such a witch at the vet. But hey. She IS a mare.........

 

 

California Dreaming.........

Found THIS last night as Rhett and I came in from watching the fireworks........

Found THIS this morning......I kept telling that silly snake the rat was too big!

 

Bet I know what happened to Mr Rattleysnake guy! Thank God for California King snakes!

 

Hope your 4th of July was happy!

'Fraidy cat!

I am at work. My dogs and cats are at home and in the house. Unfortunately, my horses would not fit in the house.

I do not want to go home.

Reason???

Right there. Wrapped around my itty bitty flower garden when I came up from feeding and watering horses and was preparing to water my flowers....F.N. SCARY.

I would not be scared except that I was unable to kill the bugger and he slithered under my porch. When I brought my dogs in I brought them in one at a time, on a leash with me having a rake in one hand and the dog on my other side. My dogs are too old to sustain an rattlesnake bite and survive.

I have been checking out snake traps. I have been checking out snake repellent. Personally I am hoping that when I go home he will be laying in a position that will allow me to run him over with my truck about 75 times and then I won't have to worry about trapping him. Or her.

My biggest fear is that it is a female and having babies under my porch even as I type. I did not sleep at ALL last night. And I am an Arizonian born and raised in the desert. I am not a wimp, but for some reason this scares the bejeebers out of me.

One of us has to go. And since I pay the bills it is going to have  to be him.

Pray for the safety of my family until I can get this resolved..........

This is why I keep all that fabric....

Been sick for a few days with some sort of intestinal garbage.

No eating. And certainly not moving more than 12 feet away from the bathroom. So what can you do?

SEW!

Which I did. Poor Princess Leia trashed her flymask from last year and I had yet to purchase another for her, so I got out some of that fabric I have been saving for flippin' YEARS and made her one. Hand sewn because the sewing machine would not fit in the bathroom.

ooooooooooo! Flames and sparkles! Cannot get any better that THAT!

 

So it is not perfect, but hey. I still have plenty of fabric....

 

Love you Leia!
