Colloquium

Today was the beginning of the National Police Horse Colloquium. Asbury had the opportunity to take two of our horses; Victor and Gatsby. This evening I stood in awe of all of the amazing women around me, working so hard to make this goal happen. From the freshman coming out to help, to the upper classmen getting ready, it was truly amazing to see God's goodness unfold each moment.

While everyone was bathing I took a minute to walk around the barns. The sun was setting on the Alltech Arena, and the noise of my team bathing their horses filled the barn. Happiness surrounded us. Unity was coming. The prayers I have prayed for so long suddenly seemed to be given a small answer. It was a time of reflection and thankfulness, as I walked around the barns in the back of one of the most well known riding arenas in the world. How am I, Olivia... a 20 year old college student, getting the opportunity to serve all of these girls in this club? I kept thinking, "Look at where we have come, God!" And what a journey it has been. When I first entered college I was so unsure of my faith, and could never dream that God would present this opportunity to me. I am nervous about what is to come in the next few days, but have a peace that can only come from God.

This week I asked my team to be praying for one way in which God can reveal his glory to us over the next few days. I hope we see him in a way that no matter how big, or how small, can unify us.
We ended the evening in prayer, and will start and end each day the same. In a time of reflection and thanksgiving, to the God that has brought us this far.
