Whoa.
The world keeps spinning on. I am so thankful that God is in control. I've attempted to keep the reins on the world, on my life. It doesn't work. It's like riding on the back of a giant wild stallion. It's impossible for me to control. No matter how hard I try to pull on the reins, it leaps away and ignores me. If Christ hadn't come and taken the reins of this bucking horse from me, I would have tumbled and died. Christ now controls this stallion. However, I keep stubbornly insisting on grabbing the reins back and trying to take control. If He hadn't been gently tugging at the reins, waiting for me to surrender, I would have done something I would have regretted for the rest of my life. Thank God. I gave Him the reins back in time. It's so amazing that He loves me enough to keep asking for the reins on my life and no matter how hard or how long I resist, He always gently keeps asking. I don't deserve it. His amazing love.
The fair starts on Wednesday. I'm pretty excited about it. I'll be showing sweet Laina, my yearling, Wednesday. And then my lambs go down on Thursday and then I have shows all next week. But the most excting and rather terrifying thing I have going on, is the Sheep Skill-A-Thon. I was put in charge of this contest through the Jr. Fair Board. Basically, it's 4 tests on 4 different topics. The winner will get one of those really nice director chairs. I have finished all my research and written the tests. So now, a week from Wednesday, I have to run it. I'm quite nervous. As you probably know, I'm shy, and so this sort of thing just causes me to be a little apprehensive. But I'm sure this will come out good. With God's help it will. :) I am determined to do my best.
