The snow begins to fall. The temperatures have dropped. There is snow on the mountain. It is absolutely breathtaking. The Seasons never disappoint here in the North East. There is beauty every where in every thing. Yet, today I work hard to have my heart match that beauty. I name the things for which I am thankful. Large decisions over shadow each step of our journey. They feel weighty and heavy. So much at stake. My farmer works hard already, now added to his burden are huge decisions. We seek earthly counsel. We storm the heavenlies. With temperatures dropping and the ... View Post
30 Days of Thankfulness, I’m Still Processing, Day #5
I'm still processing. People ask me how we're doing. You know they care. They look you in the eye. They ask you that deep question. How are you? Most of the time I say, "I'm still processing." Last night our girls, with the Vermont Youth Dancers, had the opportunity to perform on the stage at Spruce Peak Performing Arts Center. What an amazingly great opportunity. It's been just the distraction we've needed. Watching the girls do what they LOVE. (There are still tickets available!!!! Just go to Spruce Peak Performing Arts in Stowe!) But it's also about being ... View Post
30 Days of Thankfulness I Can Not Keep Silent
I can not keep silent. My heart overflows. Gratitude. Praise. Our language with God. Power. Light. Heat. Laundry. Warmth. So grateful. We've been with out power since early Monday morning. Our barns are destroyed. We are facing decisions of huge proportion. Yet, today; my heart is grateful. We will walk in grace. We will praise God for his provision. We will trust Him for our next steps. Thank you for walking this journey with us. Thank you for your encouragement. Your generosity is too much to process. Thank you for giving us hope. Please join us in #30 Days of ... View Post
Whoa! We Didn’t See This Coming. . . But God Did
The stars are brilliant. The sky a sea of twinkling lights. Clear and bright. In sharp contrast to the deafening wind. It howls and roars. It is relentless in it's mission. The house shakes with the gusts. At times the sound as if a freight train. I lie in bed wondering if we should head to the basement. Sounds, foreign to us, explode in the night. Just before 3 the power goes out. I walk through the darkness tracking down the breeze. I place a chair under the knob to the cellar door. I examine everything else as the wind continues its war on the outside. Hesitantly, I wake my ... View Post
No Stove, No Washer, No Problem
During the early part of the summer my stove stopped working. No stove. That's right. I woke up in the morning and my stove ceased working. I had paid extra for some frozen Mirabelle's croissants. We were going to indulge in the yummy treat! (You should try them! Soooo good) I opened the oven to check on the progress and I was horrified! I checked the temperature of the stove, I doubled checked. I could tell just from opening the oven door that something was amiss. Little did I know. I though this was judgement for the splurge on Mirabelle's croissants. I really didn't need ... View Post
I Love This Farm
I Love this Farm; and the Farmer who lives here. There is no place I'd rather be. The open fields, rushing waters, looming mountains, display the majesty of God beautifully. Here, I sense the very presence of God even when I feel far, far away. Psalm 19:1 The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Ephesians 6:18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for ... View Post
