Hurricane Ike and September 11th.

Hello everyone,
Just a note: Please pray for all of the people being hit by hurricane Ike.
A friend of mine (and possibly yours), Rebecca Martinez and her family are about thirty-five minutes
from Corpus, (at least that's what I gathered, I may be wrong,) so just keep them in your prayers.

Also, September the 11th, which was two days ago, was the 7th Anniversary of the 911 attack on the World Trade Center in New York City.
I remember when it fell; mom and dad were watching the news all day, and of course, Nate and I had no clue what was going on. Then that night mom and dad sat us both down and explained, to give us an idea of how many people the police had counted dead, they took over 3,000 pennies and laid them out on our table.

Remember that something like this could happen again, so please pray that God would have mercy on our dieing nation!

For Today…September 5, 2008

Outside my Window…Evening sun, fairly cool.

I am thinking…Getting my room clean! :)

I am thankful for…My new horse Belle.

From the kitchen…My mom talking on the phone and Classical music.
I am wearing…Worn, loose, dark blue jeans, dark blue shirt and barefoot.
I am reading…A Lantern in her Hand and the Bible, Ezekiel, to be exact.
I am hoping…To ride Belle again tomorrow.
I am hearing…Keyboard, computer vent, Classical music, my mom talking on the phone, A/C.
Around the house…Clean.
One of my favorite things…My Purity Locket from Vision Forum.com
A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week…Church Sunday! (or does that count?:)
I accomplished since last week: Riding Belle.

Here is a picture I want to share with you...
(This is off of Savannah's blog.:)

Welcome To the Family Liberty Belle!!! (Pt. two)

"Bark! Bark bark bark!"
I jump up from the computer chair and run to the window.
"Is she here?!"
I thought in my mind.
Running to the laundry room, I look out the back window and see through the trees a huge white trailer parked at the top of our drive-way.
Running back to the living room, I call to my mom as I head out the door, "Mom! Liberty is here, go get dad and I'll head on up there!"
Throwing on my worn, black cow-boy boots, I ran up the drive-way to Mr. Evens, who was at the top with Liberty in her halter.
"Hello,"
I said, and immediately started stroking Liberty's black and white coat; it was soft.
Dad and Mom soon followed, and we took Liberty into the fence, where my crazy horse Silkie awaited impatiently. Both horses sniffed each other curiously, and then that's when the Pecking Order started:
Liberty kicked out, sending Silkie into a frenzied kicking fit.
Both horses squealed and kicked at each other until they were put in their own places. Red first, Silkie second, and sadly, Liberty last.
I walked in the fence afterward and calmed all three nervous horses down. Liberty was a bit timid, but after a while she grew calmer and more confident.
Here are some pictures of her, she is very friendly and calm, but, of course, Silkie is being bossy and won't let her in the shed.
Also, we are to breed her in the Spring, which will be a very new experience for us!
Thank you all for your prayers! (And also pray that Silkie will stop being so bossy!:)

I am hoping…To still get Liberty if the person doesn't call.

(Off of Google....again...:)

Nope....:(

Well, we didn't get any of 'em.....we almost got Liberty Bell, in fact, we won her, but then someone suddenly bid allot higher than we.
Buuuut, dad says that there might still be a chance that we could get her if the person backs down.
Anyways, just wanted to let you girls know, and thanks for the prayers.

P.S. Molly, Dolly, Golden Girl and Boston sold, so they now have happy homes.
Loved 'em all!!! <3

Announcement!

Alright girls, I'll be heading over to the Auction at 4:00 PM.
My mom and I went over early to look at the horses, and I got to ride Boston; he's nice, but I think that I fell in love with another: meet Molly, the 17-year-old Belgian Draft horse!
She's as gentle as a lamb, and so tall, that if I stretch my arms all the way, I can't even touch her


ear-tips! This picture does NOT do her justice!





Here's a picture that shows how tall a man is compared to a Belgian Draft:







These are some other horses that we're considering:








Boston: 4-year-old gelding Paint.









Dolly: 6-year-old Quarter Horse mare.








Golden Girl: 2-year-old Buckskin mare.









and Liberty Bell: 4-year-old Paint mare.

Please pray that we'll at least get one of them!
