Post #3... Clear Creek Ranch (there and back again)

Last Tuesday was my third week to work the sale barn here in Fredonia. I've been stepped on and smashed by angry heifers, slammed in between gates, and hooked in the leg with a horn... and that was just the first two sales. Tuesday was uneventful. It was cold and we only ran about 400 head thru the auction. I suppose if two months ago you would have told me that I would go from being Barn Manager at a prestigious dude ranch to part-time help at a local sale barn, I wouldn't have really jumped with joy at the idea. But God works in mysterious ways...

Three years ago we took a chance on Clear Creek Ranch, and they took a chance on us. It worked out better than I could have ever hoped. It really shows that no matter how crazy something sounds, if God is opening the door it's always going to work out how He wants it to!

We met some amazing people at CCR. Rex and Aileen, the owners, were very good to us and the boys. I know we'll keep in touch and see them again down the road. From wranglers to workampers, we made some special friends while we were in NC. And there were also some very special guests of the ranch that will always be in our hearts. It would take pages to acknowledge everyone that I should, so I'll just say thank you for everything. I love each each and every one of you, and consider myself blessed for knowing you. :)

God moved us to NC and now He has moved us to KS. From the very moment I decided we were going to make the move it just  felt like God was opening the door... and now more than ever I know that is the case! We are following God's plan, and that road only leads to greener pastures. I am really looking forward to what next year brings for me and my family.

And speaking of the family, please check out the new "all about the Batzers" page!

 As always, God Bless and Happy Trails!
