Happy Birthday, Ransom!

Ransom turned five years old this month. Unfortunately, I don’t know his exact birthday, only that he was born in August of 2007. In the horse world, turning five makes him officially an adult. However, much like an eighteen year old person, he’s physically mature but still has a lot of life lessons to learn.

Earlier this month some of my best friends visited, and I took them to the barn to see Ransom. When their son asked about Ransom, my friend responded, “God designed Ransom for Sarah. He knew exactly what she wanted and made this horse just for her. Isn’t God cool?”

Ransom was entering the world about the same time I was going off to my senior year of college. Who knew that as I was buying textbooks, going to class, and working with colts at the campus horse facility, somewhere there was a spindly, spotted colt exploring his new world and waiting to meet me? I was sure waiting to meet him!

I’m so glad Ransom and I get to share the prime of our life together. God is cool.
