“Any day that we don’t quit is a day closer to our success! All things are difficult before they are easy. Thomas Fuller. Go be great!” This was sent to me in 2019 by Roxanne Potter and it’s so true. Every single one of us faces our own challenges, but how we react to the challenges set us apart. Each trial and tribulation has its own value and purpose to create who we are meant to be. God gives us the choices, but we must also accept the consequences. These last five years have been the most trying for me personally, yet the most rewarding. Five years ago today I was in an auto accident thoug ..read more

This verse is one of my many favorites as it has so much meaning to me. During the trials of the 4 years I was recovering from an auto accident, I went through many trials and even thought I would never ride again. This picture was when I was 7 months post hip surgery and I was at my moms house visiting on vacation. I had sold my barrel horse and had nothing else to ride as they were all too young. I was scared of not being able to ride again, scared it would hurt too bad, and at this point I didn’t realize I lost my confidence in myself. I took a few deep breath’s and the first thing I did wh ..read more

Highway Kitten

It’s amazing how God knows what we need in our lives. The last few weeks have been rough leaving me frustrated with myself which made it feel like I was getting farther away from my happiness. I actually prayed Monday morning to guide me and show me how to get back on the right path, before I left for work. When I seen what I thought to be a dead kitten in the highway lift his head up, my heart took over. I got him picked up and as he sat on my lap with blood dripping out of his eye, it was at that moment I knew this was not my plan. God was using me, although I didn’t know what for, I trust ..read more

What exactly is this illness? Is it Gods way of telling us we are failing as human beings & need to turn back to him? Is it truly the end of day’s? Is it just some virus that man created to hide bigger issues from the common working people outside the government? Is it a plot to try to take down America & other countries? Way too many questions that are not answered, yet many may never know! COVID-19 is a virus that like other viruses can be deadly, but normally is no worse than the flu or common cold. There is testing out there, but one must be cautious as there are other forms of Cor ..read more

Letting fear control you!

I’m probably not the first to tell you how hard it is to overcome your fear. The biggest struggle for anyone is the mental game. Facing fear is truly scary but the reward to overcoming fear is much greater! With my wreck getting back to riding horses has been a challenge. So many emotions going through my head: fear of winning, fear of failure, fear of injuries to my hip again, fear of driving. All have their own reasonings but still too much fear can cripple your dreams! Yes I put fear of winning- sometimes when people win it changes them. They lose sight on their journey and who they are as ..read more

So I’m frustrated and I just don’t know where to start. I’m overwhelmed and with no answers, it is scary. It’s scary not knowing what my daughter can or can’t eat. Or if she will go into anaphylactic shock for eating something she shouldn’t. I think The biggest thing is the unknown. Everything is just so new and only 2 doctors are really studying what she has, so it is scary. One minute she was enjoying hotdogs & hamburgers the next we found out they were making her sick. So that’s another I struggle I deal with. I was feeding my child something that was hurting her, without even knowing ..read more

Living with a Child with Red meat allergy

Went to the doctor yesterday and he said she goes back in 3 months. Praying the test is negative as he said it has to be negative 2x before he would let her chance eating any red meat. So if that one is negative she will go back in 3 more months for another test. As you can have false positives. So she still can’t have any “hairy mammal” meat. He said that sometimes people can go into remission but it is still too new to determine too many details on whether they can safely eat meat. But there are now studies on alpha-gal. So hopefully there will be better answers soon. She has to be careful a ..read more

So what exactly is alpha gal allergy. It is an allergy that has been recently discovered that prevents people from eating red meat because an allergic reaction. They are still researching but it has been found to be caused by lone star ticks and chiggers. So my daughter was diagnosed from a blood test with this allergy test last June 2019. At first I was shocked but I wasn’t upset because I have faith that everything is going to work out. Yes I want to cry but I was at work so I sucked it up. I couldn’t cry at home because my husband was gone to an archery tournament and I was the only one car ..read more

When we get sucked into the judgement of ourselves...

When we get sucked into the judgement of ourselves and others, you will never reach the top. I love this quote: Put yourself in their shoes but don’t live in them.” Author Unknown Try to putting yourself in others shoes. As we all struggle with our own battles, health, mental, or maybe financial. Our obstacles that seem like mountains, may be hills to others. But it doesn’t make them any less treacherous. If someone is rude, that doesn’t make them a bad person. They may have hit their limit on trials and need some positivity. The impatient mom you see at the grocery store with the kid in the ..read more

This a tribute to an amazing person who is now in heaven rejoicing and singing praises. We lost a truly amazing person May 3, 2019. She was a warrior, child of Christ, mother, fighter, and so much more! She was the kind of person that Even though she went through a major fight with cancer and the devil; she never complained. She always had a beautiful smile on her face and put others first. She always took the time to help others in need. There were times when quitting seemed easier with some of the things I went through but she inspired me, along with many others, to be a better person ..read more
