Marriage is Like Farming- It Must be Cultivated

06/18/2015

The grain bag was almost empty, so I reached deeply into the dark bag to get a scoop for my chickens… Suddenly something scurried up my arm sleeve! You would have thought an anaconda was in my shirt the way I jumped and screamed! Within 10 seconds a mouse jumped right out of the top of my shirt! I’m surprised we didn't both roll over and die right there! People[...]

A Season to Work

05/15/2015

When we were raising our five daughters, we worked hard every day. I thought for sure the next season of life would be easier. You know... -less work. I've come to realize that as long as I have life in this body, it will be a season to work. We have a friend on the farm helping today (Luciano) who just said, "If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up t[...]

The Drug for Hopelessness

04/30/2015

If you are visiting from Proverbs 31 devotions welcome! Hopelessness knocks on every door, even spiritual giants. If we succumb to the temptation to believe there is no hope- hopelessness is given permission to rule us. Hopelessness tempted me at a young age, but God graciously showed me the way of escape. To this day when hopeless thoughts attempt [...]

When Your Plan to Keep out of Trouble- Fails

03/12/2015

Have you ever made a plan to keep out of trouble, but instead found yourself in double trouble? Oh my goodness… That was ME- this week! My daughter got a job 18 hours from home and needed to get there immediately. But, we didn't have a budget for the move. Question: Do we use credit and go into debt? Answer: Avoid debt at ALL COSTS. Keep the goal and stay o[...]

Catch the Foxes

02/27/2015

It was a standoff. The biggest fox I’d ever seen… and me... We've lost countless chickens, ducks, turkeys, and even a couple newborn baby goats to fox attacks. They come to kill, steal, and destroy under the guise of the dark. They can sniff out a bountiful farm a mile away, even sending a few lead foxes to scope out the place before the attack. Then, befor[...]

40 Day No Complaining Fast

02/24/2015

My 40 day fast ended abruptly before my head hit the pillow, on the first day! Yep, my plan was to… fast from complaining. I was pretty excited over the possibility of reigning all those negative thoughts… then I woke up on the first morning- and our pipes had frozen! I stood with my blow dryer, blowing hot air on to pipes while Dale sawed huge holes out of our dr[...]

Called to Be An Eye Witness

02/06/2015

The plane was jam packed- yet an empty seat was right next to me. Ahh, I profusely thanked the Lord, for only He knew how exhausted I really was. I took my boots off... laid my head back, closed my eyes and started to praise God for His graciousness. Twenty minutes into flight a man came up and asked me, “ Can I sit here? There’s a screaming baby back[...]

When God Interrupts Your Plans for His- Just Do it!

01/27/2015

We’d been cooped inside the vehicle way too long! The kids were fighting. Everyone starving... but the good news? We were only 10 minutes from home. Until suddenly I realized... I needed one item from the grocery store. Yeah. . . I reassured them, “I only need one thing and I’ll be out in less than four minutes. I promise. Set the timer!” They wail[...]

Keep it Shut

01/08/2015

Sunday morning fights. Ugh… Kids fighting, shoes missing, and Dale and I who are usually in crazy love- nearly ready for separation before we walk inside the church on Sunday morning. Yikes! This past Sunday wasn’t a lot different. I wanted to go in late and leave early so as not to touch any of the “sick” folks carrying that horrible flu bug. Yeah it’s the [...]

Gingerbread Legacies

12/18/2014

One of my favorite Christmas decorations is our permanent gingerbread ornaments with family names on them. This year, the Lord has graciously added to us three grandchildren and a son in law. I love these ornaments because each one tells a story. I love to reflect on memories of the ones who have passed into their eternal home. Great Grandma Rowley didn't h[...]

Give and It Will Be Given to You

12/17/2014

It was the last weekend before Christmas… I was waiting in the endless line of cars at Union Station in Washington, DC to pick up our daughter, Jennifer. She had traveled from New York City to spend the holiday with us. When our five daughters were teenagers I started the tradition of taking each one individually to pick out their Christmas gift. It served a[...]
