Cycling into the wind.

 Hello there family and friends.
Well it's another day, and we have sunshine, and clear skies.
A very warm welcome to see the sun, we haven't seen the sun for a while, for 3 days.

I've managed to catch the families colds, so I am home sick today, hoping that this headyness of the cold will pass. thanks to Andrei telling me to make some soup with salt in it.

I hope that this cold or whatever it is, goes fast. because I'm back at work tomorrow. then my 2 days off.
But I digress from, the point.

And that my title of the post, cycling into the wind,  and we all know if you are cyclist, that the wind changes, and when the wind changes direction and we are cycling, that it's harder to get traction.

Perhaps that is you my friend and you're feeling like you're cycling into the wind.

If you're feeling like that, or you now you are, seek help my friends. because it will snow ball.

Have outlets to do de stress, because if we let hem stew in our minds, we aren't moving on, we're just going back to the same old thing.

In my own life at the moment, I'm learning to trust, because my sycolist, said I have trust issues.

And I'll give you an illustration, a beautiful thing, happened when I was out riding the the day, now I know I talk about horses, a bit, ok alot. But horses like us have a past, you only need to read Black Beauty by Anna Swell to learn that.

But onto my illustration.

I want to talk about courage. This is what I have learnt, on the horse farm recently.

My friend who owns it, is like a saturary for horses.  has this 9 year old stable hand. who knows all about horses. so she came with me to catch my horse I am riding at the moment, because Wilson is lame. so this small girl came with me to catch my horse. so here she was, with this big horse, called Roo. he's a big boy, and they are good friends because Roo is inquisitive and likes to follow her around.

We caught Chantalle to ride, and Roo came close, and I thought help he's going to follow us through the gate. and get between this small girl and my horse.  so she said to me, to fix the gate, and she'll creep underneath the electric fence.

and that took Courage, on her part, to separate the horses.

She's this tiny girl, but she knew her strength with these horses.

This small girl was giving me insight,  of the horses.

This helps me with my trust issues. when we're trotting, on the lunge rope, I know someone has the other end of the rope, and when you look up, and go around in a circle, and go with the motions of the horses you are trusting your horses, and yourself.

I know I am off point, but I want to tell you, rather than at you, that when you're up against it, and you're up against the wind, Jesus is there gripping your hand, because he loves you, no matter what.

So the message here is just to keep cycling, keep going at it, because you will reach your desintation. and it will be well worth it.

That's my message for you today.

Lots of love
Chloe
