SO I PRAY

Sometimes My heart hurts.
Sometimes My heart hurts when I see kids hurting. Sometimes my heart hurts when I see adults running from everything they know to be right and true. Sometimes my heart breaks when I see people making wrong choices. Sometimes My heart just wishes I could fix it. Sometimes My heart feels so heavy and I wonder how a heart can feel these things. Sometimes my heart hurts so bad I can’t sleep. Sometimes... Life hurts.

So I pray.

I pray a lot.

I pray for kids that I know that ran away from home. Kids that just need to trust that God has an awesome plan for them and to just keep going! Keep being who they are. Being a teenager is hard. Being 23 is hard! But it’s life. And Life goes on. So I pray.

I pray for those who are thinking they just can’t handle life anymore. And have thoughts to end their life before their story is written. I pray for them and I pray for the families of those that have made these decisions already. I pray for the family and friends of these people... that they would know what to say and what to do at the moment when it matters most. So I pray.

I pray for parents who decide that they can’t get along anymore and that promises mean nothing and breaking someone’s trust is fine. Even God’s. I pray for these families and their kids. The kids that now have to go on splitting their time between two houses completely against the way that God designed for FAMILY. So I pray.

I pray for those that are dear to my heart that have completely turned their life away from God and everything that they believed. Everything. They are fighting for something, but what they don’t realize is that thing they are fighting for is found only in ONE. They have given into sin and have no care for anyone but themselves. They mock and they argue and I can answer them back… but it makes no difference...It is foolish to argue with a mocker. So I Pray.

I pray for people that have lost someone that they love. That’s kind of the thing about life. It ends. Ready or not. And it hurts when you have to say good bye. I understand that. Goodbyes are really hard. So I pray.

Sometimes I mess up in life. I break things a lot! I sometimes do the wrong thing at the worst possible time! Sometimes I say stupid things and make the wrong decision. But there is one thing I can do without messing up...

So I pray.

Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other. … The only foundation of a free Constitution is pure Virtue, and if this cannot be inspired into People…They may change their Rulers, and forms of Government, but they will not obtain a lasting Liberty. … A Constitution of Government once changed from Freedom, can never be restored. Liberty, once lost, is lost forever. -John Adams

BRANDING DAY

I have looked forward to 'Branding Day' every year for as long as I can remember, and on this Memorial Day I felt extremely blessed and thankful that I can do the things that I love along with family and friends in the freedom of America.

Branding is about a tradition that has been a part of the American West for many decades and the pride that goes along with that and the ranching way of life is not something to be taken lightly. God has given us the responsibility to take care of the land and the livestock that He has entrusted to us and to do it to the best of our ability.

Branding our cattle is a part of that.

Sometimes we do it in the mud and sometimes we do it in the midst of a drought. But every time we do it trusting that God will provide and that He will see us through to the next year and the next day that it is Time to Brand The Calves.
