OK soooooo I still had to add my injection of inpiration to the day I just could not leave you without it..... Did anyone notice that is my favorite word INSPIRATION INPIRATION but dang without it where would we be???? When we get all inspired about things we are ready to go, ready to be diligent servants and WHEW what fun that is!!!
To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did...... When God takes something from your grasp, He's not punishing you, but merely opening your hands to receive something better!!
The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you.
Hmmmmm Well I certainly can and will learn something from that one..... Just today I felt as if things were being ripped out of my grasp things were sooooo close I could taste it and bammmmm within a minute all the hope I had of change was GONE.... but I have faith things WILL work out as they should it is just not going to happen in the way I had planned... isn't that funny how that works about Gods plan and Gods timing.... dang that waiting part and not knowing is what is so difficult for me. Which brings me to another one.... WOW I am on a roll tonight things are just spewing out of the fingers as I type....
Revelation 3:8
When God leads you to the edge of the cliff, trust Him fully and let go, only 1 of 2 things will happen, either He'll catch you when you fall, or He'll teach you how to fly! The power of one sentence! God is going to shift things around for you today and let things work in your favor. God closes doors no man can open & God opens doors no man can close.
Have a blessed day and remember to receive a blessing, sometimes you have to be a blessing...
DO NOT forget this last sentance that is very important....Be the blessing for someone today.... which reminds me about Make a Difference Monday which everyone needs to get involved with, But I will talk more about that tomorrow. Good evening for now.... I leave you with 2 posts and really I am going to bed now before I start typing a third post.

Extreme Mustang Challenge
Today I had some other thoughts on my injection of inspiration to share with all of you but I have decided to share in my excitment of being accepted for the Extreme Mustang Challenge.
The purpose of the Norco Extreme Mustang Trail Challenge is to showcase the beauty, versatility, and trainability of the unique breed of horse we know as the American Mustang.
Thirty Six trainers were selected from numerous exceptional applicants to pick up a wild Nevada Mustang in February and return to Norco, Ca in less than 100 days to compete for $10,000 in prize money.
The Mustang Heritage Foundation, through events like this, seeks to: 1. Highlight the importance of preserving these iconic symbols of our western heritage; and 2. Involve the public in that effort by promoting mustang adoption through the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM)
I will be picking up my mustang on Feb 13th for the fun to begin! The competition will be held May 15-17, 2009 in Norco, Calif. I will update you after pickin up my mustang with pictures and more info.
We will be having a name the Mustang game with more details to come soon. Sooooo start thinking of name for this lucky guy/gal who I will get to play with for 100 days.

Can't Focus on the Past
So my thought of the day is: You can't focus on the past or you will determine your future."
What that means to me is that if we continually focus on what has happened in the past how can we move forward and create a new future for ourselves, our animals, or others?
I think the same goes for the horses that we rescue everyday here at UAWR. One particular horse comes to my mind. She came to UAWR because she reared over backwards with her owner and I got two stories one was that the owners pelvis was broken when the horse reared over backwards and the other story was that the owner was just very badly bruised and injured. However, after the accident the horse was deemed crazy and was headed to auction. A friend stepped in and said rather then taking her to auction why not donate her to a rescue. She came to us and stayed for a long time because I was honest with prospective adopters and told them what had happened and also explained to them the experiences we had with her and the training she received along with the MAJOR chiropractic work that was done on her neck and back which was the reason she was rearing over backwards. After hearing my whole explanation no one wanted to even ride her. Everyone learned of her past and no longer was interested in helping her to have a NEW future they focus too much on the past and lost out on a really great horse!
But, one day the perfect home came along for her with someone who was willing to look at the future rather then her not so perfect past. She now is living happily ever after and has a wonderful job being spoiled rotten and also Barrel Racing which she LOVES to do. So her adopted mom and her are having the time of their lives together.
So remember those words of thought the next time you are thinking of judging someone or something else.

Value and Worth
Well it seems I keep heading back to how everyone and everything has Value and Worth, and I got an email the other day that again reminds me of this subject and I thought it would be great to share with all of you, cause sometimes we all just need to be reminded we DO have value. It goes to say the horses we all know and love around here each have their own value also and would love to go home with someone to call their own family, so check out our website at www.uawr.com and find you a wonderful horse to take home today.
A well known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20 bill. In the room of 200, he asked, Who would like this $20 bill?
Hands started going up
He said "I am going to give this $20 to one of you but first, let me do this.
He proceeded to crumple up the $20
He then asked, "Who still wants it?"
Still hands were up in the air.
Well he replied what if I do this. He dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe.
He picked it up, now crimpled and dirty. "Now who still wants it?"
Still hands went into the air.
My friends, we have all learned a VERY valuable lesson!
No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $20
Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way.
We feel as though we are WORTHLESS. But no matter what has happened or what will happen you will NEVER lose your value. Dirty or clean, crimpled, or finely creased you are still priceless to those who DO LOVE you. The worth of our lives comes not in what we do or who we know, but by WHO WE ARE and WHOSE WE ARE.
YOU are special DON'T EVER forget it!!!!
Count your blessings, not your problems.
...ane remember amateurs built the ark but professionals built the Titanic.

Prince Victor & Pierce Farms
This past Saturday I was invited to and attended the Awards Banquet for Pierce Farms which is located in San Juan Capistrano. What a wonderful and VERY Inspiring evening I had!! There were a lot of people and tons of kids who were all students, friends, and family of Pierce Farms and it sure felt like they were all just one big happy family. What a wonderful program they have there!!!
They held a raffle in honor of Under the Angel's Wings Rescue and 100% of the proceeds were donated to UAWR and what a great success that was. Thank you to EVERYONE who donated items for the raffle and also to those who purchased tickets to support UAWR we could not help all of the horses without people like you who step up to help out. Thank you!
The highlight of the evening though was the awards. They had some great ones but the one I will never forget was Horse of the Year 2008 it was voted on by all of the families of Pierce Farms and the chosen one was Prince Victor who was adopted from UAWR. He has come a long way since being there and everyone truely does love him and he is spoiled as he should be. It is great success stories like Victor that makes everything we do from day to day worth every minute and every second it takes to care for them all. The best part is Victor went from rescue horse who had lost his owner to Champion in a matter of months. Victor was taken to the CGA State Championships and came home with a new saddle he won. That is amazing and truely inspiring!! Thank you Kelly for such a wonderful and touching speach about Victor which you told thru the tears and also brought me to tears. I almost started bawling when she presented the certificate you see to the right here to me what a wonderful honor to have one of our UAWR Horses become Horse of the Year. Goes to show that just because they are a rescue horse does not mean they have no worth or value.
This is one of the great success stories of UAWR.
Many thanks to Kelly, Lori, Courtney, and the entire Pierce Farms for providing all the love and care Victor could ever want and need!

The Grand Opening of the Official UAWR BLOG
Woooo hooooo are we all excited. So I had a very small Blog happening on the UAWR My Space page but have decided with a bit of prompting from others to go BIGGER and BETTER for our UAWR Blog. So here it is and I have some great and exciting news to share for my first post that will come later.
My idea for this blog is mainly to share and update about the horses and whats going on but I also feel like my "direction" and Ministry here will be to INSPIRE everyone out there to spend more time with their horse, and help others around you with their needs also.... Let's "Make a Difference" one person and one horse at a time!!! Everyone and every animal has real worth and value we just need to find that and help them all to put their best foot forward!
