Tis been a while! Time passes ever more swiftly for us as winter transitions into spring. A building going up, a telehandler being purchased, chickens sheds to be prepared, children instructed in not only the three R's but grace, love and steadfastness. All would be nothing without God's hand, guiding, reassuring and holding back from foolish roads. Yes, even those.
"He is like a tree planted by water, that sends out its roots by the stream, and does not fear when heat comes, for its leaves remain green, and is not anxious in the year of drought, for it does not cease to bear fruit." Jeremiah 17:8
This is our family verse, it hangs on the wall to remind us. Not in our own strength but in His do we produce fruit, even when you can't see the water.
In other news, the boys are enjoying Mr. Bean from youtube. School days are flying by and we are ALL affected by laziness! The mid-week slump leaves me wanting to play a game/peruse FB/some other equally not productive 'busy' activity. So while I'm looking on others asking why subjects are not done, asking husband if he will do this or that, I'm SO guilty of thinking "can't we just take the rest of the day off?"
Eating has been a focus, the foods we eat, how much, and what kinds. Crazy, crazy ingredients are found in the strangest of places. Even more strange? Raw, unprocessed, freshly made tastes SO MUCH better. Everyone keeps saying how much all of our meals are more filling and have more flavor. Take a gaze around your cupboard and see how much high fructose syrup, aspartame or sugar of any kind is in your foods. It makes you crave more, and more. Then only more. We make a lot of homemade food but were pretty shocked at how much we cut out. Even better? We don't miss it.
We also don't miss the extra pounds that have disappeared.
