To enter or not to enter...that IS the question!

Yep, it's rodeo season....which I love!  But this year is a difficult one.  It seems as though God has picked this area of my life to challenge me with this year.  I just really feel like He is saying to slow down this year.  So, I am trying my best to listen.  Although, I can't say that it hasn't been without wanting to throw a complete temper tantrum at times!  But, I really do want to listen.  And who knows...maybe I will get to go more sometime in the future.  I know some people don't have a clue as to why it's so hard for me to know that entries are a certain day and it takes all of my self control to NOT enter!;)  Silly, I know.  But I love it.  I love it that my hubby and girls love it too.  It's something we can enjoy as a family.  We have met so many new friends through it.  I keep thinking that rodeo for me must be like shoe shopping for the shoe-aholic!:)...they can't walk by a shoe store w/out going in and grabbin a pair of shoes.  I am so thankful that HE's still working on me.  I have always been aware that rodeo could become like a god to me.  I keep that in my mind so that it does NOT happen...anything that takes the place of Him is a god to us.  I don't want that.  I have 3 beautiful littel ladies watching all that I do.  I want them to see me serving and loving Jesus!  He must come first.  And I am soooo thankful that He loves me enough to care about the fact that I love horses, rodeo, and people and has allowed me the privelege of getting to experience it!! 

I am going to a few and having a blast spending a little more time at home with my family and my little garden!  I can't believe how fast the summer is going and how fast my girls are growing up!  Here's to hoping the summer goes a little slower from here on out!!
