Hello to all, I know it has been awhile since I last "blogged". But life has been in the way. I still get emotional when I think about Home; both Austin and San Antonio. And San Antonio is still not speaking to me. I keep trying to email and write to them. I would call but I don't think they would answer. Oh well we live and learn.
This past week I have spent testing for my new job. Here it is allot different then in Austin. The church daycare that I will be working at, has me going to get fingerprints done in "Greenville" and has me testing for a commercial drivers license. That is so I can drive the Church school bus and pick up the kids after school. I often thought about driving a school bus. But I guess this shows you that "dreams" do come true. Be careful what you "wish" for. Make sure it is something you want to try. Either way I'm excited about it. Those kids have not a clue has to how much fun we can have on the bus. The people I will be working for are awesome. It almost feels like I've been there for years.
Once again living in the country never ceases to amaze me. I was sitting out on the front porch and admiring the full moon over the house; and off in the distance you could hear and see the "mighty" display of a huge Thunderstorm. It was so beautiful. Watching the lightening was amazing. And it was so quiet out here that you could hear it. And the coolest part was that it was happening in Oklahoma. To be able to have a full moon and a thunderstorm in the sky at the same time; I tell you God has ways of reminding me that he is ALL powerful and Almighty. Even the frogs were quiet.
Well we finally got the latest addition to the ranch. The "girls" were delivered yesterday at about 5:30 in the afternoon. And they are soooo pretty. We are now the proud parents of 3 mares. One is a "sorrel"; that is the color of "Penny"; and actually she looks like a "small" version of her. And her name is Birdie; she is only 15mos. old. It will be almost 2yrs. before we can actually ride her. So that is just perfect for us; we will enjoy getting to know and love her. The Other one is a "Red Roan"; she is a burgundy with a "merle" gray in her mix. Her name is "Loretta"; and she is about 10yrs. old. She has a great temperament; and loves to be petted and loved on. Our last one is a "chocolate" brown; she is 20yrs. old and her name is "Carmen". She too has a great disposition. They are all very lovable and easy to love on. And I don't mind watching or listening to them. We are not riding them until it gets cooler. It is just to hot to ride; even in the evening. Besides by the time I get dinner done and get things ready for the next day. Its time for "lights" out. There isn't any place that I can honestly say "moves" my inner feelings about being close to God; like living out here. Some times it is so dark outside; I think that I could reach out and touch his hand. It is the neatest feeling in the world; to feel like someone as big as God can be so close. If your still at night and sitting quietly (away from the house); you can hear "nature" at night. You would be surprised at all the sounds of the night. They come at you from different directions. Each one is so unique; and it has all been orchestrated for you by God. What a magnificent feeling. And at the moment you are the only one in attendance. How awesome; to be so cared for and so loved. How can anyone not want to get closer? Take care and I pray that you are all safe and anxiously awaiting "school" and new friendships. Before I go; I want to say something to my "kids". You may never know how very proud of you I am. Both my own 3; and the magnificent adults they have become; and to the ones whose lives have been mingled with mine. I have had a summer filled with compliments of all of you; and I take it all in; and store it in my memories; so that when I am having a "pity party" (seems like I can hardly ever get anyone to come too); I take them out and go over the goodness that God has blessed me with. For those of you where I have been your 2nd Mom; for me to get the compliments is nothing short of a Blessing. I love you ALL.
Many Hugs & Blessings,
Karen (MoM)
