Yesterday was the very special day I chose as the day I take my children for their very first horse riding lesson. You know how as a parent the things you dreamed of as a child but never fulfilled you do with your own children? Well this was one of those times. I had all these expectations, dreams and hopes which of course flopped because I probably dreamed a little too big (not the first time! 😬) about this moment but I’m honestly still working to sort that.
The main part is I wanted to go slow. I have done so much personal work and apart of that work ive done on myself is learning to move more slowly through life so that I can take everything in, not get too over-stimulated and enjoy the moment. I guess I’ve almost come so far that when I’m now rushed I get very very irritated 🤷🏼♀️ and to be honest most people rush. That’s what the world teaches us to do but God teaches us to slow down.
Bless the lady that led the adventure but it was not at all what I thought mainly because no expectations were set up. I have created many businesses and the number one thing you must do is to give your clients the run down of what to expect and allow for questions. I guess when these standards of business aren’t done right it really frustrates me. There was no enjoying the time because it all was rushed. We took this 2.5 mile walk and I would have been happy just having my kids move in slowly with brushing their horse, learning to mount a horse, learning to get off a horse and just staying in the pin to walk around slowly. Walking a full near 3 mile trail was just way more then I was ready for. Btw I also almost got ran over by a horse and a horse began to trot with my son on him! As a mother I was on edge and just felt unsafe to be honest.
The world will rush us but The Lord will keep us nice and steady! Never be rushed into anything your heart feels your just not ready for!
P.S. The Kids had an amazing time! 🤪🥰😃
