As a farm owner, it’s all too easy to slip into isolation, getting lost in the demands of construction and the life-and-death realities of caring for our chickens. With timelines, due dates, and delays, it can feel overwhelming. 🐣💔 During these tough times, I’ve learned the importance of seeking extra support through therapy sessions, heartfelt […]

It’s incredibly hard to have faith when everything feels like it’s failing, hurting, or dying. Life can throw challenges at us in a way that seems unbearable, leaving us questioning our strength and purpose. For me, these past few years have been a whirlwind of trials. My husband has been sick, enduring five years of […]

In this video, I share a moment when I was on a boat, fighting huge waves and trying to reach the shore before the storm hit. It reminds me of how life can feel when we’re overwhelmed. As we get ready for Passover this weekend, I’m reminded that I just started reading the Bible as […]

As I dive into our journey as beginner modern homesteaders, I want to share the events leading up to a devastating decision that changed everything for our us—culling our entire flock and closing the farm for nearly two years.  It’s been a rollercoaster of emotions, filled with excitement, heartache, and a small amount of hope.

Talk about a wake-up call. It was clear that we were definitely not in an HOA neighborhood anymore. This was the beginning […]

As I embarked on my own journey of faith and self-discovery, I found myself facing an unexpected adventure: jumping out of a plane. You might think this is a crazy way to connect with God, but for me, […]

Reading the Bible has been nothing short of a roller coaster ride—full of learning, growing, and, let’s be honest, a few facepalms along the way. I often find myself saying things out loud while reading, like, “God just did that for you, and you’re going to do WHAT?!” or “Wait, Jesus, that doesn’t make sense.” […]

📖✨ Being fully honest, I have to admit that getting into the groove of reading the Bible daily was quite a challenge for me! I started by waking up early, hoping for some uninterrupted time. But instead, I found myself juggling chores—picking up dirty clothes, feeding the dogs, and dealing with laundry. I’d stumble through […]
