Starlite Mist

Have you ever wanted something so badly that a part of you ached inside, knowing that it was out there somewhere, waiting for you to find it? Have you ever had a burning desire so intense, that you worked and strived for years in order to obtain it? If you answered yes to these questions, then you know how a little girl named Steffy felt, after discovering that she had a very special gift, a love for horses. In the pages of this book, you will discover the beauty of this incredible love. This is the true story of a little girl who went to great lengths to earn a horse of her very own; only to discover, that the one thing that she wanted more than anything else in the entire world, needed her even more…

The compassionate teenager’s heart swelled up with pity for the mangy pony. She tried hard to swallow a lump in her throat that just would not go down. Then she put her left hand over her heart; she could almost feel it breaking. All of a sudden, the Holy Spirit spoke to the young girl. Instantly she knew, that she knew, that she knew, that it was not by accident that she had stumbled upon this needy pony; it was by Divine Appointment. It was all part of God’s Plan. At that moment she understood why God had sent her there. It was not for any other reason, but to bring her and this pony together. This was no coincidence. This was a God-incidence…

She noticed her dad standing there, looking completely puzzled. He watched his daughter walk up to him and he just stared at her. Then his eyes shifted to the half dead pony standing in the corral. He studied her for a moment. Then he looked back at his little girl. Finally, he said in a soft voice, “Steffer? Um, I remember telling you that you could have any horse you wanted.” Then he cleared his throat and said, “I thought you had your heart set on a champion barrel racer or a prize winning pole bender. Why in the world would you want to exchange an amazing horse like THAT, for a pony like THIS?” Steffy looked down at her muddy boots and then she drew in a big breath of air. She gently kicked a small pebble with her right boot and then she let out a long sigh. Finally, she tightened her grip around the handle of the brush box with one hand. And then she adjusted the sugar cubes in her other hand. After that she looked back up at her dad, and with a serious expression on her face she peered deep into his concerned eyes. Her dad was pretty touched when he heard his daughter say, “I know what I wanted all these years, dad. But what’s more important now- what I want, or who needs me?” Steffy paused briefly and then she continued, “Dad THAT pony NEEDS me! And…well, she needs a second chance at life.” The teenager was a little choked up. So she cleared her throat and then she added, “God sent me to Star, I just know He did!” Her dad realized, at that moment, she had made up her mind. Then he smiled at her and said, “Well, I guess you have yourself a pony then!
