Another excellent piece. Much needed read this morning. I've been out-of-sorts this week questioning what I'm doing. Allowing the thoughts that only serve to grip those reins get a tiny bit under my skin. Thoughts that crippled me a few years ago. God's got us. One foot in front of the other. Back to "it's exciting to watch the story unfold." Waiting on His direction vs mine.
I'm so glad this has meaning for you too. I've been quite surprised in reading C.S. Lewis how much joy and excitement for today is part of keeping in God's love. It completely changes the scene!
Yes, reading C.S. Lewis gives great perspective on who God is and where true Love and Joy come from. Did you see the movie Shadowlands, with Anthony Hopkins, as Lewis?
I absolutely love the Lipazzaner Stallions, I've seen them in person several times here in Oregon. I loved this, and will pass your link on to my sister who still rides very seriously (eventing) and one of my readers, a beloved friend who teaches dressage and has a stable in Central Oregon. Happy to discover your Substack today! Also loved seeing your integrate faith in your article.
Susan, thankyou! I'm happy to discover you as well. 🌼 The beautiful video of Hannah, first woman rider, at The Spanish Riding School has been removed sadly. I had it bookmarked to watch every time I think I can't do something beautiful. 🌹
