Well this weekend was pretty low key for a change! I sold my horse! YIPPEE! That was SUCH a God thing I cannot even begin to tell you how thankful I am. It was like He just read my checklist and sent the girl my way. Not only was she an experienced knowledgeable rider (check), she has a sweet disposition and a soft hand with horses, (check) she doesn't have any other horses, (check) and the biggest of them all she was looking for a problem horse (check check!). I mean seriously? Who goes around looking for a horse with problems? God sent people, that's who. She said that she enjoys the challenge and knows how to fix them. The horse seriously reared and bucked the whole time she rode her. She climbed down walked over to me and I said "just be honest with me, you're not going to hurt my feelings." she said, "put a new set of shoes on her and I'll take her." I'm not sure what my faced looked like but it was probably pretty funny. She is in school working on some sort of science major. So she is going to the research station in Nicaragua for a few weeks. She won't be back until August, so Jazz is staying with us until she gets home. She came and signed the bill of sale this morning and paid me. God is good all the time! Even in the little things.

Sunday after church we went and ate lunch with Adam's grandparents, aunt, and uncle from out of town. We had a great time with them and hope they come down more often! Adam and I decided to go fishing after our Sunday afternoon nap. It was fun, the fish were biting and I caught a couple (sorry no picture). It was HOT though! We were drenched in sweat by the time we went back to the house.

Fun times! Also, my tooth is feeling better today strangely and the Dentist just called to check on me. I felt so stupid saying "Oh yeah, it's not hurting at all right now. Even though I thought I was going to die two days ago." I just hope he understands. I'm keeping my appointment for Thursday though. Maybe now I won't have to have a root canal?

As for my TV thing, I felt like giving up all TV in the evenings was a little much, as I was giving up every minute of time with my husband while giving up all TV. (that make sense?) 

Adam really enjoys lounging on the couch after work ESPECIALLY in the summer since he works outside in the heat. So a lot of our week nights are spent sitting on the couch together (ha-ha that sounds SO lazy) 

During the first couple of nights I was avoiding the TV by doing everything imaginable that I could but still had about an hour that I was just looking for things to do, all the while wanting to go sit with him. 

Honestly, I just don't feel like the Lord would have me completely disregard my husband while trying to strengthen my relationship with Him. So I am going to give myself that hour to just relax and enjoy our time together in the evenings, even if it IS in front of the TV, and I have peace about that decision. 

I am home for quite a while by myself in the evenings so I will not turn on the TV while I am making dinner and then I will have my quiet time and then I will do things that need to be done around the house before I EVER look for the remote. Then after all that is done IF there is anymore time left I will sit down with him on the couch for a little "snuggle time" before bed.

Let me tell you, it has been like drinking a tall glass of water while walking through a desert. It's amazing how just 30 minutes or an hour of reading something, anything, from His word has so rapidly brought me out of that "funk" I wrote about before. He is so faithful and so good always, in meeting me where I am when I call out to Him. What a merciful and mighty God I serve.

Happy Monday!
