Shay from C Bar C Horsemanship visited CCA with her pony Cupcake for chapel on Friday. She told us about her previous pony named Pep who had an injured leg. She explained how Pep was imperfect to the world, but to the Lord, was perfect. The Lord gifts every single one of us with different gifts and talents. No one else has the same gifts or talents as each other. We are perfect to the Lord and He wouldn’t change a single thing about us. She asked us, “How can you serve God in your life?" She explained how she uses horses to share the Gospel and that Pep was used to teach special needs kids to ride and that was God's plan for her life.

We should have a firm foundation in our life and it should be the Gospel. We can rely on the Lord in all life situations. 1 Corinthians 16:13 says, “Stand firm in your faith, be strong and courageous, do everything in love”. In every situation in our life we should strive to serve God in everything we do and rely on Him. We are to do everything in love and stand firm on our faith. --Carissa
