Be Still, Have Faith, & Teach On!

 A week when a long time prayer was answered! School was really busy this week.  While we were home we worked very hard to get all our subjects done and learned.  I did not take great notes because we were very rushed again this week.  I hope this does not become a pattern again this year! We have been praying for horses for many years now.  We have bought several that did not work out.  They were sold to us as great children's horses, but were absolutely not.  I had all but given up on getting any, I had even sold a lot of my saddles and tack. Then the Lord sent us on a volunteer project out at the Runnin WJ Ranch.  We really just had a great time and decided to volunteer on a semi permanent basis. Well, it turns out they had a couple of horses that needed a new home.   So a lot of this week was spent meeting with the equine manager there, filling out paperwork, proving we had a place for them, going back and picking them up.  Once...
