The snow is still falling outside, as I am sitting inside hoping the snow goes away soon. I find my self getting anxious about not being able to get down south this weekend. Not only do I get to see Aaron but I have a much awaited for interview monday morning at 11. It is something that I have been waiting for for over six months. It is also Aaron and my 1 year aniversary of dating this weekend and decided we should celebrate... That is if this snow melts...
The job that I am applying for is something that I would want to do for a time but i don't feel like it is something that God has called me to do for a career. I love working with Special needs adults and getting to know them but my passion is working with horses and kids. I absolutely love teaching horse lessons and sharing about Christ to those ride in my lessons. I know I love working with disabled people but to me it would be just a house not a home. When I am in the arena I feel at home, happy, confident and can hear God talking directly to me. Especially when I am working with young horses and frustrating lesson students.
Although this job I am applying for and interviewing for is great and would cover all my needs, part of me is feeling like this isn't what God wants me to be doing.
When I was going in to my junior year of highschool, God spoke to me and planted a dream in my head that he wanted to put me in to his mission field. Not oversea's but within in the United States. Specifically in the horse world. In the horse world there is alot alcohol, sex , cheating and other things that are not godly. As a Christian, called by God, I feel like my mission field is allowing people to see that there is something diferent about me. People take notice when there is something different about you. I want to show these young girls the love of Christ and be a bit of fresh air, and a smiling face.
An oportunity has come up the past few weeks but alot of prayer and possible finances are needed to make it a reality. What better way to be a missionary than to be working with people with all different beliefs.
There is a hunter/jumper barn in Lake Oswego, Oregon. The are in need of instructors for summer. It would be a very good summer job and would give me the experience that I want and need to in the future start up my own riding program. If I got this possition it would be only a 2 month contract with a possibility of staying on part time during the school year. I would have to provide my own housing, car and food for the time that I was there. Since this job is only full time for 2 months during summer, I would need to find some source of income to help me pay rent until I could get a second job or bring in enough clients to support my self.
Will you pray with me about this? This barn has been on my heart alot lately? If I take the position will you consider supporting me and the mission I feel God has laid before me? These are my thoughts, I would love your thoughts about this and any insite that you may be able to give me.
Thanks for being part of my life,
Bethany
