Easter is coming!

I was thinking today that I should sit down and open my Bible. The day got busy and I still haven't cracked it open. I am so thankful for all that God has provided for me, but I am especially thankful for the loving sacrifce of His son, Jesus Christ. I am looking forward to church this week, and to the new life we'll celebrate on Sunday.

Please pray for guidance and direction in my life. I wish to glorify God in everything I do. But, sometimes the path is so hard to see. Pray that I can look for the joy in all things. God's plan is amazing!

Happy Easter everyone!

Tinkerbell's Last Day

March 18, 2008. Tinkerbell Veliky was put to sleep today. Dr. Ed made her transition to heaven a smooth one and she is finally able to truly rest. We don't know how old Tink was, being that she was a stray, but she was our first ever cat for 7 1/2 years. We have fond memories of her sweet personality and tiny stature. Our favorites are sitting on the Playstation box and sleeping under the wood stove. She was Dave's cat and she couldn't wait for him to sit down in the evenings so she could make biscuits on his shirt. She battled many health problems, which in the end made it very hard for us to continue her care. Have a nice long rest, Tink. God bless you.

First Snow of 2008

It's January 17th and snowing like crazy! The kids trudged off to school at their regular time, but now the buses are turning around and bringing them home. It will be a Snow Day after all! This is a day for mac-n-cheese, hot chocolate, and dvd movies.

I saw a bee

I can't believe it's 75 degrees today! This has been such a great break from Old Man Winter. While I was at the farm cutting back some old mums, I saw a bee fly by. It's January! Amazing. I'm now on my way out-the-door to watch Jack play kickball. He asked if the pool was open yet. Ha. I hope all of my VA friends had a great day in the sunshine. God Bless!

Heard it on the radio

Have you ever been thinking about something and a song comes on the radio that reiterates exactly how your feeling? Wow! I had that experience today. Try listening to SpiritFM 90.1 and I'll bet the same thing will happen to you!

8 in 2008

It's the last day of 2007. I'm thinking about 2008 and what I want to see happen in my life and at Edenbrook Farm. I found a blogspot called http://www.extravagantgrace.net/ where the author is challenging everyone to "Live Intentionally: 8 in 2008." "You pick 8 things you want to see, do, feel, or experience in 2008. Your list can be spiritual, emotional, physical, but not too material! If the Lord leads you, dream as big as your heart desires and be willing to see His work accomplished through you." That sounds a lot better than a plain old New Year's Resolution! So far I've thought of some of my 8's:

1. Invite a different couple, family, single person from my church who I don't know very well over for dinner, or out to lunch, 8 times this year.

2. Eat organic produce and/or meats at least once a week in 2008.

3. Continue riding western and learn to rope a cow by the end of 2008.

4. Organize an event to raise money for the Hydrocephalus Foundation, in honor of my 4 year old nephew.

5. Read all of my books on how to have a Hobby Farm.

6. Read the Bible and transfer verses and reflections in my journal every day.

7. Make breakfast for my family every day.

8. Help my kids with their school choices.

Edenbrook Farm blog birth

Good Morning! I'm sipping my coffee having a wonderful time creating a blogspot for my favorite spot on earth. This is so much fun! The kids and I finished putting away all of the Christmas decorations yesterday and plan to spend today at the farm. One of my chores today is to fix the toilets in the farm office. Oh Joy!

I'm interested to see how many people will find me on Blogspot. Drop me a note! V
