1-28-10: Riding lesson
hey everyone!
Yesterday I had a really, really great riding lesson. Though, I'm a little sore today. lol
I rode Leo, who used to be one of the calmest school horses ever, not so much any more. But, I still love him. lol
So, in my class... there are two other girls at the beginner level. We're the only three home school riders that I know of, so that's why we're all in the same class.
They just started to learn how to trot today, which was pretty exciting for them. :D They both did really great for first time trotting.
I, on the other hand... did sitting trot without my stirrups for probably, all but the last fifteen minutes of my lesson, which I worked on cantering.
Normally, I'm really good at getting my circle right and everything, but yesterday was just a, yeah no.
Normally, when I canter my instructor has the other riders stay at the other end of the arena (half arena circle) and then I stay at my end. But yesterday she had them keep riding, and the first half arena circle was good. But, then they got over there and I got worried, so yeah... the next two circles were not so great, I almost ran over the mount stool, (oops) but I steered him around it quickly. (phew!)
So, after that experience, Jill finally said I could let him have his head (let me walk on the rail) and I was glad. I was kinda getting tried. lol
After dismounting and getting him walked out and groomed, I got all his stuff put away and called my mom to come and pick me up.
She was at the doctor with my little sis for a 18 month well baby check and hadn't quite left yet, so it was going to be awhile until she could come pick me up. So, can you take a guess at what I got to do??? No? BARN CHORES! Yippee! (No seriously, it was way more fun than just waiting 45 minutes for my mom to come and get me)
I got to clean out all the grooming buckets, (I think it was either 12 or 13) and then their brushes (13 times 3... 39 brushes) and then I swept the tack room. I'm pretty sure after all that, Jill (My instructor) didn't mind that my mom was late to get me. lol
So yah, that's about it. Have a great day!

Hey everyone! Sorry I haven't written in like forever! But, I've been keeping busy. =]
Youth group is back! Finally! It felt like ages since I was back in the youth room! Uh! (Even though it was only like, 3 weeks... it literally felt like 8 months, horrible, long months.) We've been doing a study called Dare to be Daniel. It's a lot of fun and I'm learning a lot. Also, I've really focused on applying what I'm learning into my life this year, it's tricky... but when I do actually remember to apply it, I get all happy. lol
This week was Dare to be His Disciple. We learned about what it means to be a follower of God, and that it's not just obeying God, doing everything he asks when he asks, telling others about him, spreading his love, it's also learning as we go along through life. I guess I knew that already, but I needed to be reminded of that.
We also talked a lot on the fact that our actions speak louder than our words. So, if we act like Jesus did when he was on earth, act like a true, God fearing Christian, it will make others wonder why we're so different, more even than, if we talk about God. (Which does help too... Paul made that perfectly clear too)
Well, if I continued to type about this study, you'd be reading for like the next two weeks (lol) so, I'm just going to give you the website address so you can check it out for yourselves! I'd definatly consider telling your own youth pastors about this study, and ask them if you can do it too. It's really life changing.

Have a great week!
