On May 30, 2013 while quietly sitting on my front porch having my devotions I received the text from my dear friend Emma texted me that my horse Annie had foaled! At first I didn't believe her because we had had so many false alarms but she assured me. I jumped out of my chair and with heart pounding I grabbed my buddy Emilia and we, well I about bounced up there, (while calling friends to come see ;) to the pasture where the mares where pastured. A truckload of my other buddies drove up and we piled into the pasture looking for the newest arrival. My eyes strained to see the lil one I had waited so very long for. And I finally saw running through the grass with her mom a lil white face with a reddish brown body and 4 white legs :) My mare Annie saw us coming and she was like " Hey check out my baby!" It was a little filly who is the most adorable thing ever! She was dry and was up and running so she had been around for a bit before Emma had found her. I fell in love with her immediately and i was literally bouncing up and down with excitment yelling to Emma that it was a Filly :D Yesterday I decided to call her Cricket and she is just a little fireball and a joy to watch and work with even though she is a little firecracker! I marvel all the time about how God created her and she is just the coolest thing ever! Already in the 4 short days of having her in my life she has taught me so much about being patient and working towards building that relationship with her. I praise God for the lessons He's been teaching me and also for the ones to come as He uses Cricket to mold me :)
