Recently at church our pastor challenged us to consider how simple it is to tell our testimony. He asked us to consider our response to statements similar to:
- Before Jesus I was…
- Then Jesus found me and I became…
- Because of Jesus my life’s purpose is…
- I am making disciples through…
Some people got up and shared their testimony; I thought about my responses. I have always, always loved horses. It has consistently been my dream to own land and have others keep their horses on my property. In time, that dream only became clearer:
- Before Jesus I suffered anxiety and depression in spite of growing up in a loving, Christian home.
- At 16 I accepted Christ as my saviour but it wasn’t until 20 years of age that I got a revelation of what that truly meant; how incredible He is and overcame those negative issues and feelings.
- My horse property dream has become clearer: I want a property where I can raise my children with my husband, invest in the animals I love and to be a safe place where others can come, be embraced and learn about horses – and Christ.
- I am a teacher by trade. I teach horse studies in an incredible job that combines my passions and skills of horses (I was a stud hand before teaching), writing, website design and teaching others about horses. I find now unexpectedly that I have an opportunity to speak into teens and adults lives through my work as well as my writings as a horse book author. I am sharing Christ with many people around the world – in America, the UK, Canada and Australia although the majority of them I don’t know personally.
I feel blessed to write about what I love, to share my faith and to even make a small amount of income from my horse books. Although money isn’t the driving force, it is a nice bonus.
In light of my desire to share about my faith, my God and my love of horses, I recently had multiple days of free horse books that I have written. If you didn’t get a chance to download any but are on Kindle Unlimited, why not check out my books? All are free there!
