What Owns You?

Not long ago, Dave, Erin, and I visited with John's small group and the discussion was really incredible: We talked about what "owns" us. Everyone had areas to work on, things they were struggling with, from money to our jobs, to our families.

Erin commented that the "barn" owned her, which was her part-time pay/full-time-work job. After events of the last couple of weeks, Erin no longer works at the "barn." She worked in order to lease a horse and have riding lessons but circumstances had gotten out of control and there was no other choice but for her to resign.

Dave and I want her to continue to ride but we don't have the means right now to buy a horse (serious $$$$) so we turned it over to God - if she is meant to ride, God will provide. He did. =)

So, Erin is no longer owned by the Barn! And she still gets to care for, ride, and show a horse. God is awesome and He proves it every day. If we are willing to do the work, He is willing to provide.
