Trusting God

Trusting God is always a roller coaster. It has been a very appropriate sermon series at Seacoast this month. We are learning all about dreams realized and dashed. For those adults among us you know that the economy is struggling right now. In particular the banking industry. Sadly, the nature of banking right now is forcing us to delay and slow down the construction of our new farm.

We are not going to be able to stay at M&M any longer either. We are about to enter a new (yet temporary) era of Charleston Riding Academy. We have entered a very beneficial partnership with Cecil and Dawn of Mills Farm. They are located just outside of Moncks Corner. They are welcoming us to share their beautiful facility. They have a a 14 stall barn, well lit arena (that drains), and numerous other "luxuries". There are even some luxuries just for our parents.

We will be taking a couple of weeks off the beginning of October to let our horses settle in to their new environment. Lessons will resume October 13th for our general academy students. Our horseshow students will be able to continue their lessons during the transition time.

I will post pictures as soon as I get a chance to take some. I will have a letter for everyone this week detailing the transition and a couple of special opportunities. If you don't make it to the farm and would like the letter e-mailed please let me know.

It will be important to remember that this is their home and we need to be respectful of their personal space. They do have young children and it will be important to establish that the outdoor toys are not a free for all. If we just keep a general rule that we need to stay a minimum 100 feet from the house this shouldn't be a problem.
