I have to agree that unlike any other professional sport the cowboys are so friendly and willing to talk and take the time to meet you and really give all their success to the lord. My dad and I recently were at a Bull futurity in Iowa when Cord McCoy (professional Bull rider for the PBR) was standing behind us I turned and started talking with him and we talked for almost 20 min or more about raising bulls. They are just every day guys who have a very special talent. <br /><br />Have A Great Day<br />Erin<br />http://diariesfromthedirtroad.blgospot.comDream of Generationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16082621788389646530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1684300037516304729.post-11414420721213926122013-05-10T17:06:38.387-07:002013-05-10T17:06:38.387-07:00If you think this is getting you out of a card.......If you think this is getting you out of a card....

It relates so much to what I've been going through the past few years. For the longest time I was afraid to show who the real me was and what I liked because it was totally different than everyone else. But finally I decided that it was really hurting me and that when I started not caring what others thought I was actually feeling better. I am proud of who I am and I am proud of my relationship with God. I may like different things than everyone else and have dreams that others may think are different but that's what make me happy and how I plan to live my life. I am so glad that you are living an honest life that's true to who you are and your not afraid to show it. I hope that you never lose sight of that!! Thank you for the amazing post!<br /><br />Erin<br />http://diariesfromthedirtroad.blogspot.comDream of Generationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16082621788389646530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1684300037516304729.post-3775012445601194022012-12-31T20:46:27.352-08:002012-12-31T20:46:27.352-08:00One of the biggest blessings I have found is in th...One of the biggest blessings I have found is in the solitude of country life. We don't live too far outside of town, but around here, you have to drive EVERYwhere and the "big city" is 30 minutes away or more, depending upon which one you go to. I have found the solitude of the farm lets me hide from the world on the days when I feel the need (which has been many here lately). My horses and goats always listen without prejudice, without interrupting, without judging. Being able to saddle up the gelding and take him out for a ride without fear of too much traffic is one of the highlights of the warmer months for me, though I have not done this as much as I'd like too so far. Sometimes, I do long for things that will never happen, but they are apparently not the TRUE blessings that I am intended to have.<br /><br />As for the city people coming to the country...well, let's just say that a lot of city people should stay in the city. Most of the city people I know have NO interest in even experiencing farm life....and they definitely wouldn't enjoy it if they did.<br /><br />Blessings in abundance!Wenona Frenchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06025054794409658171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1684300037516304729.post-76706704681656517292012-12-31T20:29:42.971-08:002012-12-31T20:29:42.971-08:00It is not always easy to be happy with where you a...It is not always easy to be happy with where you are at in life, even if you are fairly certain it is where God wants you at this time. Some of us out here struggle with living in "Heaven" in the country with the horses out the front door and such, and wonder if we are doing enough to be in God's will.<br /><br />Blessings in the New Year!Wenona Frenchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06025054794409658171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1684300037516304729.post-19979447910683106362012-12-31T20:23:16.442-08:002012-12-31T20:23:16.442-08:00Ahhh, the feedlots out West are nothing but stinki...Ahhh, the feedlots out West are nothing but stinkin' cows.
