Even when God tells you His plan and decision, you might still struggle with believing God’s word. Jesus’ disciples were very distraught when Jesus was crucified and buried. But, he had taught His disciples and made it very clear to them that He must suffer and be rejected by…
Taking a Stand
Who is this horse? Her face is covered while she feasts. You must wait until she emerges to really see her, to get to know her, to even know she is a mare. I know who she is because I saw her earlier in the open before I took the…
I’m Not Afraid
Confident I now call this beautiful wild horse Dark One. Doesn’t he look confident and self-assured? I wrote about him in Stand Steadfast. He had lost his family band to Golden Boy. In that post I called him just a “brown stallion.” Although I had prayed for him, he lost his…
Stand Steadfast
Wild horses are fun to watch. Occasionally something happens on the desert that teaches me about life in the kingdom of God. This is one of those times. Before this face off and defeat of the stallion on the left, all was quiet just two days before. The victorious one…

The Search for Truth or Lies?
Cabrillo Lighthouse, Pacific Coast A lighthouse is designed to provide a signal that helps ships reach land safely during a storm. Knowing that a lighthouse is continually flashing bright light gives sailors hope. Once land is reached, an anchor is used to secure the ship so it doesn’t drift away.…
Running Together
Three wild horses are running together. The stallion is in the back, then the mare, and a young foal takes the lead. When the running starts I’ve noticed that a young one often races to the front. They all run in sync with one another. My painting is made up…
