Bokoda learns to flex when I am on him.
Getting ready to hop on!
Our little guy is doing so good! We are so proud of him! We have been working on getting on him and allowing Bokoda to feel weight on his back. He took to it, not easily, but respectfully just as his personality has shown over and over again. We plan not to have our guest in the ministry on him this summer, but our still waiting on God for other adventures. We hope to purchase a cart as well as some other equipment to help expand as he learns new things.
God has been so faithful in showing us His time, not ours.
We took a vacation to Colorado to help at a mission camp in Holyoke. We learned so much and were blessed by each staff there! Brian, the head director shared the gospel through using the horses and equipment. One verse he shared we just loved; "His pleasure is not in the strength of the horse, nor His delight in the legs of man, the Lord delights in those who fear him who put their hope in His unfailing love." Ps 147:10
We loved this verse because it shows how much we value the "things" in life and even people, more then we do the one who saves us and loves us more then any person on this side of heaven does! With the children we serve, and even adults who listen in, we must put our Lord first and make Him number 1 in our daily lives. It is easy to say, but at times, very hard to do. We all put our jobs, kids, hobbies, and other things first. We are all guilty! But each day is a new day in Christ Jesus and we can change this attitude by asking Him to help us in the times we fail.
The other truth we heard and know, but are not always open to, is the truth of being teachable. In everyday life, we need to open our hearts and minds that we could be doing things wrong. There may be a better way to do even something we have been doing for a long time. Being teachable is having a submissive heart. I know for myself I do not know everything and there are better ways and more experienced people then myself and when I do open my heart to change, I will be helping not only my own growth, but hopefully others.
Isn't life just a wonderful journey? Let's thank God for each adventure, even the bad ones and watch what He has for us today as we learn new steps and are teachable to old ones!
