Y’all, let me just say… Farm Life is REAL LIFE! Yep, it’s just about time for a Farm Life update. I have come to the realization there is truly no such thing as “hobby farming”. Farming is a lot of hard work that can’t be categorized as a hobby!? For those of us who weren’t born and raised farmer, there is trail and error that occurs at the beginning of farm life. Sheep escaping and finding their way to the neighbor’s green bushes?, livestock sinus infections, and a dog very slowly learning that the chickens are friends not food are a few of the farm life trials that have happened! But in the midst of the challenges and farming trials, the Lord showed His mercy.? Early one morning in the midst of farm drama and loss, little Mercy was unexpectedly birthed and appeared next to his mother! New life, God’s new mercies, and a new fresh start for our farm life adventures came with this little lamb! Just like in farm life, there are seasons of trial and loss in regular everyday life too but, praise the Lord, He shows His mercy toward us. His mercies are truly new every single morning! So, after a good long week of fence work from my dad, brothers, and grandpa and my mom’s exceptional organizational skills put into place at the chicken coop, farm life seems to be settling down a bit! The sheep are happily grazing in their own pasture and staying away from the neighbor’s landscaping, our dog is [slowly] learning to not use the chickens as chew toys, and little Mercy is strong and growing bigger every day. So, farm life has been a hard life but with the Lord and His mercies on our side, it’s a good life! That’s my #FarmLyfe update. ??
“This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope.
It is of the Lord‘s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
The Lord is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.”
Lamentations 3:21-24
