More Than A Pretty Picture
Following Jesus is more than pretty pictures of a Bible, and quoting Bible verses - as I have been reminded this past week that I have actually been getting into The Word every day. It is just that: following Him. It is relying on Him, instead of myself. Pursuing His will instead of my own. …
Good Old Bible Reading
“Jesus saith unto him, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.’” John 14:6 This verse has been in my head the past couple of days, even though it has been a while since I actually sat down and spent time in the Bible. I …

"Two roads diverged in a wood, and I - I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference." ~Robert Frost, The Road Not Taken Robert Frost really just describes my life in this poem! I definitely did not take a "normal" path in life. It has taken me a long …
Living by Faith
"Because you have seen me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed." - John 20:29 That is what faith is.

Horses and Jesus
"And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him." - Colossians 3:17 As a Christian, I often ask myself how I can better serve God's kingdom. After all, I am just a realtor, fitness coach, and equestrian. I am …
