I got an awesome opportunity to go horse riding this Sunday. The day was sunny and just warm enough to be really enjoyable! If you have ever gone horse riding you would know that it is important in the beginning to prepare the horse to be ridden everything from grooming to warming up. Horses love attention; to be touch and ridden.

When riding a horse you must be the one in control, otherwise the horse will just go anywhere and everywhere which could be very dangerous to the horse and the rider. Some horses don't want to give up control and be told where to go or how. I feel as though my life can be very similar to this, in relation to God and letting him control my life. I, being the wild horse and God, being the one who guides.

God wants to lead my life and take me down the beautiful paths, but so very often I want to do my own thing or I don't want to let God have complete control of my life. I love the moments God showers me with his love, takes care of me and grooms me to make me beautiful, but when it comes to letting him tell me where to go I'm very resistant. It takes a few tries to get me galloping up a hill, but once I finally start I love it and could go forever!

The point of my little confused analogy let God be the one who guides you and you will be filled with Joy because he is in control.
