Think Spring!

Well, it has been a while since I've written, so I thought I should make an effort.

My last post was difficult and things remain the same. This situation is very frustrating and painful, but the Lord himself said that he didn't come to bring peace, but a sword. I don't know why we expect to have everything be easy and painless. It certainly wasn't for our Lord and we are to follow him. I'm trying to be positive and trust the Lord to bring about his will.

It sure seems the whole world has gone crazy and there is so much negative in the news. I try not to watch too much of it though, but it does appear that the Lord's return isn't far off. I've had a few dreams about that, and am seeking him more and more as I want to be sure to be found in him when he returns!

On a lighter, happier note, I met a new friend on facebook who lives just minutes away from me! I'm so excited to finally make a friend who lives close enough to actually get together and have fellowship with one another! Don't get me wrong, I love ALL my facebook friends and have been strengthened and challenged by many of them.
As far as I can tell, thus far, we have much in common and she knows how to do many of the things I want to learn about living more simply and self-sufficient, doing what I can to help my family out. I may not make the money but I can certainly help save it! Our Lord really does supply our EVERY need...even the need for a friend and mentor!

Goodness, I almost forgot :) We also have put in an order for some chicks due to arrive on the 26th! 8 Barred Rocks! They are pretty black and white. Suppose to be good egg producers. Our little farm is growing!


Have a blessed day!
