faith over fear

Symbol of renewal.

Symbol of renewal.
Hey hey! 
Glad you stopped in to hang out on my blog for a minute or two. 

With this being my first blog post, I wanted the post to be a moment I documented this year. 2021....another year of uncertainty & discomfort, yet amidst a time that had brought clarity and hard doses of reality of  how we are living. 
With the messages & holistic living tips you will find here, in my personal opinion, the first thing to get "right with" is where you are right now.... not where you want to be, where you are right now & what you will do with that moment.
 
Below I share one of the more pivotal moments I have had in 2-3 years. And how it brought me back in touch with my faith & that God is in control & if we keep looking for the messages & guidance, it will present itself.
 
Enjoy the read. 
 
We just finished check the last field of the day  that evening. Just as we got there, sky was dark & a downpour hit. We'd been praying for rain around here so we sat in the truck & enjoyed the loud thunder & rain pelting the truck.
When it passed, stillness.
Smell of the rain, ...amazing. The grass,...a brighter green. Air,....crisp but warm. Like a symbol of renewal. 
Where we rode,....a diamond in the rough. When you drop down in the coulees, you're really riding in God’s country.
Before we rode out, I mentioned to my hubby how sad I am about the state of the entire world & our country.
The division, coercion, burden its giving to everyone in some way. Felt it anger me, & I’m not an angry type. But the tears came over me a bit, even in this peaceful moment. Maybe mourning the way life used to be just short time ago.
He rode over & said, "just have stay true to the life we choose to live." TRUTH. Absolutely, & spend time in places like this, on our horses, as a family.

As I rode the coulees, I made a point of taking deep breaths, taking in the view with the evening sun rays coming through the clouds, watching & listening to the hawks fly over me, & watch the cattle just meander.
Last few months, I've spent time revisiting my “faith”. Never grew up in a religious family but we did go to catechism through elementary & the Lords prayer a part of daily life & still is. 
But I felt like I let my heart centered faith drift.

When we got back from checking, I told him I feel like my faith is more present than it has been. I feel so much more peaceful when I remember “that faith” is what's gonna get most through the current times.
As I was talking, the sun & rays through the clouds got brighter & it started to gently rain, a steady warm rain through the sunshine; as if God was affirming.

Might think I’m nuts -but the unbelievable timing of my words, to what was presented to me -surreal. We took it all in -in silence. Hubby isn’t much for these "chats" but he saw what I saw.

He had already loaded his horse & as I turned around to go load mine, while I was observing in front of me the divinity of the sunset & everything before, there were 2 bright full rainbows appearing behind me at the same time.
Unbelievably bright colors & stacked above one another. Another way to say "I'm here". 
"Be still & know that I am God."

Beautiful in many ways. As I stood there, in awe of everything....staring at the rainbows before we left, I’m glad my husband snagged a photo. A reminder.

May you all have or find a place that gives you this type of peace to keep you strong in these times. And,...always be listening & looking for the signs. 💞
