The first summer I stayed home during the summer was 2006. I had been feeling like I wasn't suppose to go on tour for a couple of years before that. Anytime I would mention it to Jeff, he just wouldn't hear of it. So that summer I just told him I couldn't go. I felt so strong about it. He said if that's how your feeling then stay here.
I went with him and the team as far as Grove, OK and then came back home. When I got there, I found a dead baby colt, the horses had gotten into the hay pen and the bathroom was flooded. That was the confirmation I needed that I had done the right thing coming home.
During my days of trying to run the ranch by myself, haha, I leaned hard on my God! It was during this time that I found Psm 138:8. I printed it out and put it on my bathroom mirror. I wanted to believe that He could perfect those things that concerned me. He proved Himself over and over that summer and continues to today. I'm grateful for God's Word to teach me and live by. I still make a lot of mistakes. I'm sure glad He loves me.......
