My First Trophy

My adventure in God's library today takes us on a deer hunt where I got my first trophy. (part 1)

For those of you who deer hunt, you know about that nervous and excited feeling you get when a deer comes into your sight and is within shooting range.  

My adrenaline was rushing as I got the deer in my sights and took the shot.  I remember going over all the lessons my husband had taught me about where to shoot the deer, watching for the direction the deer runs, how long to wait in the stand before I try to track the deer.  It seemed like a lot to remember in a short amount of time.  I messaged my husband and our friends that were also out hunting at the time and they joined me to track the deer.   After about 30 minutes of tracking, we found the deer. 

A very special part of this hunt was my family and our friends gathering around the deer and praying, thanking God for providing food for our family and for the time we got to spend in His library.

My first trophy was claimed November 19, 2011.  My trophy was not a deer for the Boone and Crockett record books, but a trophy because it was my first deer and because of the memories made!
