Horse Sitting

I. am. so. EXCITED.
A lady at church happened to mention to my mother that she "horse sits" for a woman she works with. The church lady (whom we don't even know very well) lives a good 20 minutes away from the woman with horses, and that makes for very long trips, twice a day, to feed. When she mentioned this to my mum, my mum told her that I LOVE horses, and I'm always looking for jobs like that. And so the church lady called the horse lady and gave her my number. She called me, and my mother and I went to visit her. She lives probably less than 5 minutes away, and she has 14 animals - 4 adult horses, one three-week old filly, 5 dogs, 2 barn cats and 2 indoor cats. She showed us around the whole farm, told me all the names of the animals, what they eat, what their personality is and such, and told me that I had the job. She is paying me $30 dollars a day to feed 11 of them. (She's leaving the indoor cats enough food and water for the week, and taking one puppy with her.) I'll already be able to pay for my summer camp!! I had been praying that I would get enough babysitting and animal sitting jobs to pay for HALF of my camp fees! Leave it to the Lord to do exceedingly and abundantly more than you can ask or imagine! And what's more, the horse lady told me that if all goes well, it's highly possible that she will continue to use me as a horse sitter, and even let me ride at her barn! (I haven't ridden in over a year.) I'm soooo happy, thank you Lord!

  2. Hehe :) Hey, I wish you could get $30 a day for something too! But I'm really really glad for it. I was starting to think I'd never be able to go to camp. :(
