Over this past summer, I was given
the chance to work with many junior high school rodeo athletes at a Rodeo Bible
Clinic. This opportunity allowed the athletes to develop event techniques as
well as grow in faith with the Lord. On my behalf, the clinic opened my heart
too much more than rodeo. Spending the nights over a campfire discussing
Biblical stories, worshiping the Lord, along with talking through situations in
rodeo and life where the Lord plays a role allowed me as a leader, to see these
athletes on a personal and spiritual level. Through it all, I came to the
realization that these 10-13 year olds were talented beyond measure. Throwing
ropes on dummies and catching nearly 97% of the time. God is great, and I could
see him working through each and every cowboy and cowgirl.
Towards the end of the clinic, I
got chance to speak one on one with the clinic director’s son. He discussed the
importance of Christ in his life and all the accomplishments that he has
achieved because of his unfailing love. He also informed me that over the past
year he began to take Christ’s love for granted and put down his Bible. It
wasn’t until he attended “FOREVER COWBOYS” clinic directed by Allen Bach, that
he realized that he had completely given up on the Lord. Over the few days of
the clinic, he began to pick his Bible back up. He has now made a complete 180
and is now living fully for the Lord.
God is amazing in everyway. I
encourage you to put your faith in the Lord. Read His word, Love His word, and
begin to Live out His word.
