Dozens of hours of reading, digging and learning, and our Fearless Deep Dive finally happened! Satan tried to stop it with excuses, freezing cold weather and put fear in our hearts but we persisted. Not today Satan! Thank you to the participants that showed up and nearly froze your toes off. We appreciate you being brave! I got one picture but it felt so good to have all that work come to fruition. Thanks to everyone who supported our work and passion!

Because this never gets old

Friday was our second study on Fear. Gosh the more I study it the more it feels like fear drives a lot of our decisions and actions. His is showing up to reveal so much to us. We talked about FAITH OVER FEAR. Not that we can’t feel fear but our faith in God has to be greater than our fear. We watched Brenna connect with Mae and talked about the trust needed to work through our fear.
We have two more weekly studies. And then we will have a Deep Dive day long retreat November 9. This will review the four weeks of study for anyone that couldn’t make the weekly times. But we will go deeper into the Word, deeper into how our brain and body respond to fear, and of course deeper into the relationships with the horses. Anyone is able to join! We’d love to have you!

Our first womens Studying the Word with the Herd was great. We started diving into fear and its meanings. As well as what it means when the Lord says to fear Him. We did some connection work with Mae and talked about her journey through fear responses. God is so good! Can’t wait for Friday!

Day 3 of RUBIES camp.
What an amazing way to end the week!
We talked about being ENOUGH and STRONG. We continued finding rhythm with each other and ultimately the horses.
We did my favorite exercise ever, colored breathing art. And then said goodbye to their friends.
Thank you Lord for one of the best experiences of my career. This has been on my heart for a while but I was never sure if anyone would come or enjoy it. Thank you Julie for being willing to do this with me. Thank you Lisa for dedicating three days to us and being such an important part. Thanks to everyone who trusted us with your amazing daughters and those who shared it.
I’m on fire and can’t wait for more!

Day 2 of RUBIES camp.
It was all about embracing our UNIQUENESS, recognizing how we communicate, and how we each have our own rhythm and beat but we can all play together. We made our own instruments and then played our own unique beats together. My first time leading a drum circle and I am super proud of myself for stepping outside my comfort zone and having SO MUCH FUN doing it! Then we named false labels we have been called or believe, then decreeing what God says about us. We painted the false labels on the horses and washed them off. Then we finished the day with an amazing worship session led by Bethany tippin. It was such a beautiful day.

Today was day 1 of our RUBIES Proverbs 31 girls and horses camp.
The more I worked on the content and schedule of this camp the more excited I got to share what I’d learned.
Today we talked about how God tells us we are more precious than rubies and everyone got a ruby necklace to remind themselves of this. We talked about “Resilient” and “Beautiful” as our two virtues today.
We decorated journals with gems and Bible verses and all sorts of creativity. Our horse time was spent connecting through grooming and leading. We spent time watching the herd and sharing how we felt and what we thought (words like majestic, beautiful, funny, dramatic) and then looking in the mirror and describing how we felt or what we thought. The truth is our culture spends a lot of time telling us we re not okay the way God made us and telling us to compare ourselves to others and look better, do better, be better. We fought those lies with the truth that we are Gods masterpiece.

Loving a horse is inherently risky. They'll never be here long enough. And so, far too often, I meet people who keep a little wall around their hearts, protecting themselves from falling "too in love" with their equine friends.

It's not done intentionally. It's not a conscious decision to shield themselves from the intense connection and intimacy that comes with the horse-human partnership.

But when we really stop in a moment of connection with a horse, our hearts start to swell. The emotions come flooding in. We feel, for a moment, that our entire soul exists outside of our bodies. And, for most of us, the innate response is to shy away. To change the subject. To pat their neck twice and then move on to the next thing.

When was the last time you stood next to a horse and simply rested your hand on their neck? Truly just stood there in a beautiful moment in time that exists only for the two of you?

When I ask people to do this, they typically last about 5 seconds and then they start moving their hand... or they turn away... or they look around. It's so hard for people to stay truly present in that moment because the emotions that come flooding to the surface are overwhelming. They're powerful.

It's this beautiful, soul-encompassing intensity that makes you realize just how much of yourself you've given to this fragile, yet powerful, animal standing before you.

It makes you feel things you haven't felt in years. Levels of love and connection that you didn't know existed. True, heartfelt, all-consuming intimacy.

Loving a horse is inherently risky. Yet, I've never met a single person who says, after their horse leaves his/her body, "Wow, I wish I would have loved him less."

Instead, they always say:

"I wish I would have spent more time just being there. Smelling her. Listening to her chew her hay. I wish I would have spent more time in those small moments."

So, my advice for you? Love them. Fully.

Let it happen. Let it all in. Get lost in those moments when your heart starts to swell and the tears start to fall. Choose to embrace the feeling.

This is what it's all about. This is the magical thing that exists between horses and humans. 🫶🏻
