Here is Matthew today ~ At 23
This is his first English Style riding lesson!
"For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11
I am so thankful that God gave us hope and the future nobody thought existed.
Don't ever give up on a dream!
Because God...Has Another Plan!

Blessings,
Joy
