I have had a request to resume blogging. Apparently some people read this!

I'll just start where I am at, since part of what I preach is to let the past go :-)

Where am I now? Married to that trainer. Born again, certified Jesus girl. Zealous. Full of love. And riding still, of course, that never gets old.

I had another glorious moment of pure joy while riding Fallon again today. I love riding all horses or at least most horses that I get to ride, but for some reason this yellow filly and I just click. I feel so free loping her. She feels it too and boy we have fun. How do I describe this? The peace of pure love. It is every cell of my body and hers breaking apart in to little bubbles like carbonated soda and spilling out all over the atmosphere we are flying through, mixing and hopping all over the place. It is no thoughts, a still mind, the Presence, the everlasting Presence right there, well pleased with us for living out our purpose, for nothing more than the glorious adventure of just being. She loves to run and turn. She'll be a champion some day. It goes to show that performance doesn't have much to do with looks, because despite her beautiful golden color she isn't really all that pretty. Not refined anyway. Well neither am I, but when I'm riding I can feel beautiful.

I pray everyone on earth can find this feeling. This is why we are here. This is why we are alive. We are meant for joy. We were designed for love. There is something beautiful in every single one of us, something uniquely beautiful. Our highest potential is so much higher than we even imagine. All creatures great and small are in this. All creatures great and small are His. What a relief, to rest in Him, to be assured of our purpose and lovingly live it out in every mundane detail every day.
