The concept of Memorial Horse Hair Jewelry rose from my personal loss and a greater understanding of the grieving process.

Blade was one of those horses that gets under your skin, and captures your heart. I just sent him for thirty days training, and on day eleven, Potomac Horse Fever struck, Blade was suddenly gone! My heart was broke like never before.

The Lord prepares us and gives us grace at all times. His promise is
"Draw near to Me and I will draw near to you."

I wrote the following THE DAY BEFORE Blade died.

Today the Lord showed me a whole new lesson as to the depths of grief, grieving, and learning to trust in Him. I am learning that no matter how dark things look, His desire is for me to trust Him, and know that He will see me through. There will be bright days ahead again, and that His only desire is to teach me to trust Him. I have also learned about compassion, grief, and how it blinds and takes over all we do. This is an interesting walk, it is too bad that God does most of His teaching during the darkest times of our life. It is definitely a time of drawing near to Him and claiming the promises He has given me.

I thank the Lord that He blessed my life with Blade. I miss him dearly.
