“Ye that fear the Lord, trust in the Lord: HE is their help and their shield.The Lord hath been mindful of us: HE will bless us; HE will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron. He will bless them that fear the Lord, both small and great.” Psalm 115:11-13
Well y‘all! It has been nearly 6 months since my last “random life” blog post and I am rather embarrassed to admit that.? Winter came and went with a flurry of cold-wetness for us here in East Texas and here we are in deep Spring, warm days and gorgeous sunsets! What an adventure these past 6 months have been. ? With a full work schedule and daily home life, travels plus all the unexpected that the Lord uses to fill the days, I can only look back and smile. The verse that comes to mind as I consider this first portion of 2019 is 2 Samuel 22:30 where it says “For by THEE I have run through a troop: by my God have I leaped over a wall.” This verse is beyond true! So much has been accomplished by God’s grace! So many impossibles have been made possible through Him alone[Phil 4:13]. And so many blessings + benefits have filled every single day! HE has given supernatural strength to my weary body and soul when I have been utterly exhausted and shown His mercy every single second of every single hour of every single day.? “He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.” [Is 40:29] ?? Humbled by our Lord’s marvelous love and goodness!! ??♀️ SOooooo, I think it’s high time for a little bit of daily randomness from the months of Spring here, don’t you? When you live in an entrepreneurial home-schooling family who has decided to take on farm life and random home-repair projects, life can be quite an adventure! So, before summer begins, how about some really random peeks into my Spring? QUESTION for YOU! What has been a highlight of your 2019 to date? I would love to hear in the comment section below!! Happy Saturday y’all! ??♀️?
With Spring comes NEW LIFE to our farm life. ? 22ish Lambs were born almost doubling our flock [praise the Lord], a new round of Chicks+ducklings arrived, [thankfully] our hens ended their winter strike ?and began laying eggs again, and turnips are growing like weeds in Gideon’s Garden!? If you have any suggestions on how to eat turnips, leave a comment below!???
So many work projects tackled this Spring! The largest may have been our Spring 2019 release. ? Countless hours of work, thousands of photos snapped[y’all somewhere around 15,000?], and many many prayers went into this launch. The Lord was so gracious and faithful to allow all the details to come together perfectly! “Many, O LORD my God, are THY wonderful works which THOU hast done…”[Ps 40:5]
Spring wildflowers bouquets are a common sight in our house this time of year and budding trees are eyecandy during my morning walks! Every vase is filled full of the most beautiful freshly picked flowers. ?
Between mulching, fence mending, and work space building, the guys have been using their free time to keep up with outdoor chores and improvements! ??
a few of my sisters and I enjoyed a lovely Spring Lunch date at a favorite near-by bakery! Always enjoy time with them. ??☕️
And a little “Life randomness”! From morning scripture inspiration to cupcakes and fort building! So much fills a day full here. ? And my mom makes the best Cream Filled Chocolate cupcakes y‘all! ?
Anyone else love baking bread? Bread baking is a favorite for me! Love when I am able to grab an afternoon and enjoy time in the kitchen. ???
Grace, Bekah, and Emmi’s handmade Mother’s Day Flower bouquet was a sweet touch to the decorations! So fun to see them put it together! We had a terrific Mother’s Day celebration. ? Now that I am caught up, let’s see if I can stay that way! ?
“Many, O LORD my God, are THY wonderful works which THOU hast done, and THY thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.“ Psalm 40:5
"Come now, and let us reason together," says the Lord, "Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool. If you are willing and obedient you shall eat the good of the land; but if you refuse and rebel, you shall be devoured by the sword"; for the mouth of the Lord has spoken." Isaiah 1:18-20

Just when a Christian reaches the point where they have never had the strength to surpass before then God increases their strength. Amen. By thee I have leaped over a wall. To God be the Glory. This blog is my highlight for 2019.

❤️❤️❤️ “What has been a highlight of your 2019 to date?”… hmmmmm… I would have to say a recent trip we took as a family has been the highlight of my year! It was great to be able to spend time together as it’s been a busy Spring and quality family time has been hard to come by.?
