Waves of grace

And He said to me.

"Daughter, you are in a desert

But I will send rain.


There is an aching, 
there is wandering.


But My love will come in rushing.

You'll be swept up in waves of grace 
and you'll have no idea just how far I'm going to carry you"

Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving Folks!

Thank you for following along my personal & farm blog adventures.
I am most thankful for Mom this year. 
A year ago was horrible and God preformed a miracle in saving her life.!
Joshua, 
words can't describe how thankful I am for his support and care during my time of hurt.
He keeps me laughing and pushes me to love again.
 Peter, 
is my strong example of someone who doesn't give up even when the going is tough. 
He picks on me, protects me and always samples my baking.
Both men are a force to be reckoned with and I hate to be sandwiched between them 
but now that I am the shortest I can't fight back due to my weakness.
Dad,
thankful for all his wisdom and support of my business.

 Angels,
you are one of the most godly young women I know.
Thank you for praying with me, star gazing✨& going on crazy road tripsπŸ˜‰

Mom, you are my inspiration πŸ’–πŸ₯°
Such beautiful colorsπŸ’™πŸ’šπŸ’›πŸ’œπŸ€ŽπŸ§‘

God provided the bounty.♰

 I am thankful for my Healer and my Savior, 
who loves me and gave Himself for me on the cross. Psalm 16:7-8,
"I bless the Lord who gives me counsel; in the night also my heart instructs me. 
I have set the Lord always before me;because He is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken."
Praise the Lord for answered prayer.

What are you most thankful for this year?


Over the horizon

Whew!
I finally have a chance to sit down and
catch everyone up since the last blog post!
 Making lots of lefse.

Over 100lbs of potatoes.
Peelin'
 Rollin'
I've estimated about 1,000 sheets of lefse made in November alone.
 Packagin'
Chickens lovin' the mornin' scratchin'
Morning crystals against the sunrise.
Iced over! 
 With temps in the 30's and 40's lately, I love walking around sunset.
 I usually walk 1.5-2 miles.

Your speed doesn't matter, forward is forward.
 
These views are my favorite
Work on the front mount continues
My brothers belong to the Ford family 
 I am thankful for the hardworking guys I know :) 
 Corn harvest got finished up
I still believe in amber waves of grain, hard work, faith and grit. 
That grew this country strong and keeps us moving on. They get tougher as their lives keep gettin' harder. Oh, I think its time we all thank a farmer.

 Looks spiffy! 
Maybe Joshua will teach me to run it this winter!
 Happy Birthday Dad!

A Farm is more than land and crops. 
It's a family heritage and future

Dusk
More lefse.....
 
 If not NOW,
Then WHEN?

 To most people, this is just dirt. 
To a farmer, 
it's potential.

 "Life is not measured by the breaths we take, 
but by the moments that take our breath away."

I look forward to these walks every night. 
Views like this,
 quiet my soul and 
open my heart.

 "What this country needs is dirtier fingernails and cleaner minds"
 ~Will Rogers


Out there, beyond that horizon, your dreams await you.
And if you don't chase them,
someone else will.



Rewarding weekend

Loaded up my ice fishing gear and essentials for the cold weather  and headed to Bay Lake, MN for the weekend.  Arrival at 6:06 pm ...
