Out of the Mouth of My Babe

Happy Friday Everyone!

I will share with you a little bit of wisdom I heard from my 12 year old daughter Jai on the way home from school -

Jai: Mommie - You know what we learned today in chapel?

Me: No baby girl, what did you learn?

Jai: We learned that you are not to worry about anything because you are a child of God. God takes care of the smallest birds and animals in the wilderness, so he will take care of you! God doesn't want you to worry about bills, or money, or anything, because he will take care of your needs, He wants us to give Him our best love and you cannot do that without faith.  Just trust God Mommie, and stop worrying so much. If God can make sure a little bird can eat, and people don't feed every bird every where, he will take care of what you need because he cares for you.

Me: Thank you Jai - Mommie really needed to hear that! (Choking back tears)

Jai: You're welcome Mommie, everything will be okay, you will see.

So I am going to work on doing just what Jai said, sometimes it's hard to remember the principals of the bible, life gets to be soo overwhelming and seems too much to bear.

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding  Proverbs 3:5

Have a Blessed Friday and Weekend!

Finding a New Passion

Who knew my girls were cowgirls in disguise?

My mother owns two horses, and lives in a carpenter home in the high desert of Southern California. My girls Morgan and Jai decided to go for a ride on Spirit the horse, and one of them has decided she would like lessons. Can you guess which one?

Ever the fashionista, Morgan was all set to ride. The weather was nice and warm, odd ~ or maybe since the experience was new for the girls, mother nature was kind.

 I laughed hysterically at this particular moment... Spirit took off and Morgan wasn't prepared.

Morgan is 16 years old~ My pride and joy (or at least one of them) I think Spirit may have been planning some quick moves here... notice her expression.

 Phil a neighbor on the block,  and "Lil T" (and believe me, there's nothing little about this horse) stopped by to join in with us.

Spirit and Lil T became fast friends (and Jai and Phil bonded over horses)

 Ever the quick-study, Jai became more confident... and Princess followed closely behind.

Jai is 12 years old, she is truly a Mama's Girl. She is an old soul.

Looks like someone is getting the hang of this.

Morgan doesn't like to quit (or be outdone by her younger sister) she decided to try to ride again...

And quickly discovered... Not interested in horseback riding.

She needed assistance getting Spirit out of the pin. Notice the facial expression on Morgan.

Jai will be getting lessons at the first of the year.
