Dear Friends and Supporters:
Sometimes when God gives you a mission, you go about it in faith, no
matter what people say, even those closest to you who view caring for His
creatures as more of a burden than a pleasure.
I swear that the only thing that has kept me going these past four weeks
after mom's death has been the need for me to care for things other than
myself. I have looked forward to coming home and feeding, watering,
fencing, grooming, and riding. I have fulfilled my needs by being
available to help other things more helpless than myself.
I have sometimes been scrutinized for this, but today came confirmation
that we are exactly where God wants us. We were recently audited (a
yearly occurrence) by Dept of Ag state of Wisconsin. Our files are
examined for many details. That went very well, and the agent asked if we
had sent in the fee for our equine market license for the year. I
cringed. I opened, in front of him, a certified letter we had just
received but not opened. There was the renewal application with a fee
owing of $330 - PAST DUE. I told the agent we would be sending it off in
the mail.
I told the Lord I was writing out a check in faith - that He would
provide. I had no idea how, and I did not send out a plea for assistance
with this. Still,, I knew without the equine market license we could not
operate.
Yesterday I opened Pay Pal and noted a $200 donation from Lori H. TIMING!
Then today in the mail came a wonderful letter from a family who adopted
Pinedon years ago. The picture showed a little boy up on this beautiful
big STB, along with mom and dad. My eyes widened when I saw a gift of
$500 for ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you Eunice and family!!!!
Now, that is confirmation. God always comes through, thanks to you. And
you. And you. We can continue, with His blessing, to serve His creation. I just hope we all maintain good health and attitude to do it. But, after
today, there is no doubt we will! Yay God.
