āGod is within her, she will not fall.ā ā Psalm 46:5
This verse has been close to my heart since the day I started trick riding. Itās the reminder I cling to every time things donāt go as planned, when I have a bad day, or feel like Iāve hit a wall. The road hasnāt always been easyāthere were moments I wondered how Iād ever make it in this industry, how Iād get my name out there, or where the next opportunity would come from. But I always came back to that verse.
Itās not always easy to let go and give it to God, especially when Iām in a rush, trying to make everything perfect. But when I look back nowāfrom the first time I ever saw trick riding, to my very first lesson, to being 16 years old sitting in the stands at the Polkville Rodeo telling everyone, āIāll be performing here next yearāāI see how His hand was in all of it. I didnāt even have a trick riding horse at the time, but I knew if I worked hard and trusted God, it would happen.
And it did.
Not only did I get to perform at Polkville last year, but again this year. Just a few months after speaking that dream, He opened the door for me to buy my dream horse from one of my best friends. He gave me the chance to work the rodeoātwice. He calmed my nerves when anxiety tried to creep in. He gave me the passion, the strength, and the work ethic to chase this dream I love so much.
Every day I get to live out the thing I used to only dream about. And Iām just so thankful. I pray I can glorify God in every ride, every performance, every lesson I teach, and every moment!
This is your reminder that when things aren't going as planned and you're feeling like it's not going to work out, remember to turn to God and give it to him! Looking back I realize that the setbacks I thought I would never get past have done nothing but push me harder and help me become who I am today! Anyways that's all! Just wanted to say thanks to God! Nothing I do is capable without himšš»
