Ok friends, I'm going to start blogging on this page about the ranch and all that is going on with everything until we get our name registered. I will refer to everything I blog on this subject as "More dream"... So here's the update so far...
I have a meeting this week to get some things finalized on legal stuff (YUCK,YUCK!!!) and then by next week, God willing, our name should be registered and then the ball starts rolling (YIPPEE!!!!) Then we will get a business e-mail, face book page, a new blog spot, & PO BOX for those of you that have already asked where you can help. I found a firm that will do everything (paperwork wise) for us. This includes starting our incorporation, writing our by-laws and filing everything with the state and fed government. We are thinkin that is the way we will go. It will cost about $1000.00, so I'm saying "Thank you Lord for the snow this year and BRING ON MORE!!!!!" I'm confident we will be a up and running 501(c)(3) non profit by June/July!!!!
In the mean time we are working hard at learning all we need to know... whewwww what a job!! I have been given the opportunity to go to a seminar in OR. at a ranch that does what we are wanting to do and learn from them and their triumphs and failures.. For this I am EXTREMELY EXCITED!!!! The cost on this is $300.00 + transportation and hotel for 4 days.. So here's my first plea for funds.. So if you feel led to give I feel led to receive:):):) Remember we are not tax deductible YET!!!!! Here is the website of that ranch, go to "Our program" and then "information clinics" This is in May... And Thank you in advance for your help, not only financially but in PRAYER....

Meanwhile, I am reading, reading, reading!!!! Everything I can get my hands on about abused children. And let me tell you I am CRYING,CRYING, CRYING!!!! I will also tell you, that I KNOW THAT I KNOW my whole life has been a dress rehearsal for just this time!!! I'm thanking my Lord for the life I've lead, the good and the bad, as it has brought me to this place and time. I feel the 22 years as a childcare provider and sitting on the Board with Arapahoe County Childcare Asso. for a number of years, ALONG with my life long love of horses is now coming to full circle of exactly what and where am suppose to be!!! So keep us in your prayers as we get though all this legal stuff to get to the job of healing & restoring the hearts of broken children... Not to mention the love we will be providing for the neglected and abused horses... God Bless y'all!!!! And THANK YOU for all of you who have offered your support, we sure can't do this alone... It is way too BIG!!!!
