It has been something of an issue for me for years — the fear of it — even though I want to and used to as a teenager. I realized that whatever comes out may not fit in a box, and that’s fine.

I have been struggling with this and sometimes feel like others are trying to put me in a box. Thank you for words for my hearts.

Awww. My sister rode horses growing up. I’m sure she would say the same thing. “Do everything as unto Him.” 🙂

Margie, thank you. And yes, God is good. He comforts us in our afflictions that we could comfort others. And He does work things together for the good of His children…often through the fires of life. Blessings to you, sister.

It is I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten. —Joel 2:25

It made me leap with Joy as I know may past will be used to make something grow. Me, a neighbor and right now my experiences of my childhood helps me share with the wonderful grandson my daughter adopted that has similar tragedies.
God will give back what others have taken away. Just listen to him.

I started riding horses when I was 13, and I started writing stories when I was 9. Over the past few months, I guess you could say God has brought me full circle in life, back to those same passions. I feel so alive and complete when I’m doing what I love most.
