DAY 2 OF LAKESRANCH HORSECAMP SEPT 09

 Saturday monring, 8 am breakfast.

Everyone has a good breakfast at the dining room. There are always plenty of hands up when I ask for volunteers for dishes.
After the dishes were done we have a time of bible reading and evotions and prayer.
I asked Liz to read the bible and then there is a bit from " daily bread" which I read out for us to ponder on.
After that there is open prayer time to pray for the day.
After this we go to get our horses and brush them. Then a ride in the arena for a lesson from Ross.

The trek hereafter is eventful to say the least. It was very exciting and the scenery breathtaking. The smell of sulphur is strong.

We had lunch by the lake and the whole group of 30 riders enjoyed the whole experience.
Towards coming home , the horses saw the camp and became restless. Freedom had one of my friends riding him and he also became restless. The horses in front wanted to gallop home so I told Hannah to get off him quickly as Freedom wanted to follow the others.
She couldn't get off quick enough and he did a fast swing turn and " bang" she fell off flat on her back.
She couldn't move and I had the walky talky, so I called for help and Kim and I did first aid.
She was taken to her motel unit by me after Ross had brough us to camp.
There I prayed for her and layed hands on her back.
I felt the heat came through and she felt it too.

Then I told her to have a rest and take a few anti inflammatories. Hannah ( right) with Shirley( left)
At dinner time I saw here there to my surprise. She had gone with Sarah to the dining room, still a bit sore.
Now she is better and asked me when she could come again to camp.
For safety we advised her not to ride the next day which was sensible. But God had healed her. Or an angel caught her or prevented a worse case scenario.
That night we watched the DVD of Nicky Cruz' testimony of the gangs in New York.
The next day the pasor of the other group was talking to one  of our members and at the end of their talk she gave her life over to Jesus!!!! Jesus is the answer for the world today and he is not only relevant to us in today's society, He is the only answer for our lives and for the world.
Micha and I became friends, even before this weekend, basically over the phone. We couldn't wait to meet each other, and when we did it was great, like meeting a sister.!!! And now she is!!!!
