My New Year Miracle

As many of you know for 7 years I prayed for the 5 acres behind our land. I wanted to be able to bring my horse Farley home. For the 6 years I have had him I have never had him on my land. Well, when the land finally came available for sale we had problems negotiating the contract with our back neighbors. We tired to get it to work for about 4 months but at the end we gave up and lost the land.

Well, back in late early December my friend and neighbor Angela called me and told me that their friends ended up buying the land. She said that she was going to talk to them and see if we could put her two horses and my horse on the land. So, she called and they said that we were more than welcome to lease the pasture from them. They bought the land as an investment property and they weren't going to be doing anything with it for awhile.

So, around mid December Angela called and asked me to help her move her two horses over to the land behind our land. Her horses were over on 20 acres about 1 mile or so down from where we live. She and Bailey decided to ride the horses over so they went and got the horses and brought them in to tack them up.

I went ahead and drove their SUV back home and waited for them to get to the pasture. About an hour or so later they arrived and we got them settled in their new home. I had decided that i would wait until after the New Years to bring over Farley since we were going to be our of town.

So, this past Monday I called my friend Leanna and let her know that I would be moving Farley that day. Leanna has been a HUGE blessing to me. She let me keep Farley on her ranch ( which just happens to be about a 10 minute walk from my house) for the last 3 years. I had only planned on keeping there a year but due to circumstances she continued to let me have him stay. Thanks Leanna for not only blessing Farley with a wonderful place to live these last 3 years but for also being so giving and generous to me. Most of all thanks for being my friend!My friend Angela went over to Leanna's with me so she could drive our SUV back to our house. We loaded up his feed, his tack all his other things in the car. I tacked him up so I could ride him "home". I couldn't believe that after 6 years I was finally going to be able to have him right behind my house.
Because we live so close the ride wasn't that long. This is a picture of Farley arriving to his new home. I started to get a little emotional at this point because I was so thankful that God had answered my prayer. It might not be exactly how I prayed . . I had prayed that we would own the land but this is just as good. What a miracle that Angela knew the new owners and that they had no problem with us keeping our horses there. Praise The Lord!

When we arrived at the gate Angela was just walking over his feed can.
These are Angela's horses Diablo and Bullet.
I took off Farley's saddle and let him in the pasture with his new friends.
They all started to get to know each other.
So far so good!
On this land there is a huge 4 acre pasture and then a small 1/4 acre paddock area.
We think they are going to get along just fine!
I hope Farley is going to enjoy living over here. I know he is going to miss his other pasture buddies Cloud and Brandy. As I got ready to head back to the house to make dinner . . .Farley decided to go check out the rest of the pasture.
Jeter seems to love the horses but most of all he likes having all this other land to roam.

Thank you Lord for allowing me to finally have my horse right behind my house. I thank you that you did work it out in the very end. Thank you for my New Year Miracle! You are a good God and I love you so much! Thank you for even caring about the little things! In Jesus name, Amen
