For Real??

And to add to the absurdity of our lives here, I took Caroline on a nice, calm, trail ride at a stables about 2 hours away.  I made her wear a helmet, of course.  But what could happen on a leisurely trail ride?  Nothing, until her horse saw the barn at the end of the trek and decided to bolt.  Guess who got thrown off her horse?  Yep, my kid.  No one else, just my kid.  The one with the concussions.  Sometimes I wonder why God allows certain events to happen.  I mean, why didn't I get thrown off my horse which also decided to gallop to the barn?  Or the other riders whose horses followed suit?  She ended up with a very bruised hip.  Thank God it does not appear she hit her head at all.  But, for real??

  1. oh i'm so glad she is ok! i know how frustrated you must be right now. sanctification is necessary but really not pleasant. :) praying for peace for you - and hopefully a few moments here and there for quiet for yourself. moms need that! :)
