Does it seem like everything is out of your control? Cards are not falling as they may?

You top knot one, leg one, or knock a barrel down to win it? Maybe you even buck off a good one at 7.9 to win it all.

Broken barriers, buck offs, bad draws, and misses. Tear our confidence down, eat at us, and defeat us.

When the going gets tough.. keep on going knowing that you can control these 4 things:

1. Your Faith

2. Your Attitude

3. Your Focus

4. Your Effort

You can not stress or worry about the things that are not in your control. However, you can control your faith, attitude, focus, and your effort. Everything is and happens in God’s plan and will for you. When it’s your time it will be your time. Control YOUR situation. So you will be equipped and ready for when it’s YOUR TIME!

11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Jeremiah 29:11

As the summer run and rodeo fun approaches - may we all remember that “Hard Times Don’t Last”.

Bad luck, draws, a streak of misses, buck offs and barrels down.

“Hard Times Don’t Last”.

Injuries, surgeries, blow outs, lack of self confidence, and arguments.

“Hard Times Don’t Last”.

For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. Psalms 30:5 KJV

Whatever may come on your summer run and rodeo fun. May you be encouraged that each day is a new day. When things don’t seem to be going your way- the next day can be all the different.

A win, a catch, a ride, a clean run, a compliment, the recovery you’ve been waiting on, the injury that you finally overcame.

“Hard Times Don’t Last”.

Stay positive. God’s plan is waiting for you. He sees our weakness, our pain, trust in him and you will have all to gain. Trust the process. When it is your time it will be your time.

Joy can easily come in the morning because :

“Hard Times Don’t Last”.
