When You Least Expect It

Jimmy and I just spent the last several days at the Ride Rank for a Cure Bull Riding School in Derby, Kansas with our son Weston.

Jimmy and Weston had been to this school the previous two years and pretty much knew what to expect, but i had stayed home as i thought there is no place at a bull riding school for this mom!

This being Weston's Senior year and not knowing if we would be welcomed to join him next year, i decided that i would go along and take it all in. When the school began and the instructors began to talk i was simply amazed at the motivation and inspiration that they raidiated through out the building. Each of them have had alot of success inside the arena and should rightly be proud of their accomplishments. What made this so amazing was that these same guys shared that your physical ability can only get you so far and that you need to rely on your faith to get you down the road to success.

I had a plan that when they began speaking and working on drills that i would get my kindle and read a book OR being that close to Wichita i would just go to the mall and pass my time there. I quickly saw that the message being given did not only apply to the riders, but it actually applied to me, the mother who would be sitting in the stands taking video. Needless to say i took in the entire four days of the bull riding school and came home with a renewed spirit and alot more money cause i stayed away from the mall!

I say all this to share with you that sometimes the biggest blessings are received when you least expect it!
