In fact I don't know anything more than getting past each day right now. On New Year's Day, my husband of 35 years announced that he is divorcing me, so life as I have known it since I was 19 years old is upside down. What I do know, though, is God is faithful, He is walking this tragedy with me and His blessings are new every day. As much as I can't even imagine being in a relationship with anyone else, maybe (like Cyndi), God has a Godly man out there that loves horses too and would want to share that passion with someone like me.

I love everything about them! But when I got married 35 years ago, we were just too poor to keep my horse, so I sold her. About 2 years ago, our church's recreation ministry decided to put together several camping trips a year. I also love camping, so my youngest daughter and I have been camping trip regulars. On many of these camping trips, we also trail ride horseback. Since we don't have horses (many of the campers bring their own horses), we always have to rent. My dream is to be able to own a horse again and ride several times a week instead of a couple of times a year. I even have the kind of horse picked out, because I surf the web looking at them and dreaming. My perfect horse would be a gaited, mountain trail gelding - maybe buckskin or palomino in color - or even a tobiano black and white spotted horse. I don't have any idea how I can make this dream come true, but nothing is outside the ability of my heavenly Father.....so maybe....someday :) My dream……..I grew up with horses.

My dream is for my daughters to have the love of a father they've never known. They are not too old to have this restored in their lives. I've attended singles groups, went on eHarmony.com, and finally decided to quit trying to help God out. I figure if this desire is in my heart (and it has been for many years), that it's from Him and He will bring it to pass. I have honored God in this area of my life by choosing not to date for the last 15 years. I wanted to focus on getting my girls raised and I wanted to set a godly example for them. Well, they are both grown now and I'm ready to meet that special someone who loves the Lord as much as I do. I'm daring to dream and believe it's going to be this year (I'm not getting any younger!).

This city-girl's dream came true when I married the baby blue marine that brought me home to the farm in the middle of nowhere in Missouri. It seemed my dream had come true. The great thing is that we can have lots of dreams. Today my dream is to make our home a place where people feel comfortable stopping by and to keep the ‘homeplace’ for his brothers, sisters and extended family. We moved in to my mother-in-law's house when she was sick and stayed after she passed away. We have been updating and renovating to complete the dream she had when they built the house, with their own hands, in 1947. Her dream for a warm and loving home was fulfilled as she raised her 5 children within these walls, nursed family members, and ran a chicken business to send her children to private schools. As she breathed her last breath her dream to pass her work on to her children was fulfilled as she stepped into the arms of the savior. Each year we have a huge family gathering on the farm. Another dream is that we will have the entire Sonnenmoser/Kuhnert brood of over 200 people with us in the next year or two. Our highest number so far has been 120, that was the summer before we said good-bye to John’s mom. Dreams come and go and I’m sure I will dream several more about this house, this family and the heritage God gave us. It’s so sweet to see your dreams become prayers and then become testimonies of grace and love.
