Well... I can tell I will be paying for my slack winter in the spring. I have to say, merely getting a halter on Blaze at the moment has been a challenge. He was walking right into his halter MOST times this summer... but not anymore. (Shame on me totally...) Well, Blaze is also headshy, so the fact he was doing so good this summer was awesome... but yesterday as I tried to get Blaze's halter on he would quickly move to bite the halter as to not let me pul it on... so after a while I decided if he was going to continue this... I would pull him toward me as he was biting and give his head a good workover to at least work on the headshyness. I can at least say I got somewhere with touching him on his head and he stopped biting his halter so much since he knew it just lead to me rubbing or scratching his head.
Doesn't this sound like what happens to us sometimes when God works in our lives? He would like to come to us and get us to accomplish one thing, but we resist and He finds another way to better us anyway. I'm so glad He does that instead of just giving up on us the first time we resist Him. I hope you can see God when He tries to work in your life. And if you have any clues on bettering the halter situation... feel free to share... I have a lot of growing and learning to do, I'm glad we at least got some growth out of our time together, but I certainly don't want to harm Blaze in my ignorance. Thank you God for continuing to give to us even when we take from you or resist the goodness you try to lay before us.
