Im telling ya the weeks are just flying by! Everytime I turn around its a new week!
Its been a challenge to get school work done, go to our foster classes and take care of our animals and all of the other chores that need to be done. Still God has been so good to bless us ! We have had some 'more' trials come our way but the Lord has been faithful to meet our needs. We blew our engine last week, very scary, but God was good to send a brother in Christ to help us! His name was John, cant forget that because we are going thru the Bible and are now currently in the book of John! He was so sweet to comfort Joah as he was so afraid of getting into his truck, but he reassured Joah that he was a friend of Jesus! Joah was comforted by this and settled right down.
We will be getting the engine rebuilt, until then a brother in Christ has lent us his car! a very nice car:) God once again is so good!
News on our homefront:) I think last I posted I shared how we lost all our hens from one of Springers getting a hold of them, well last week we lost our rooster from what we believe was heat stroke, no shock since it has been around 115 degrees! he had plenty of food/water/shade but I think it was just too HOT! If we had misters I think he would have been fine, we have been misting our animals daily now since then with the hose but.... God has restored all our flock again to an even bigger number! A friend of ours is moving and gave us her flock of already laying hens! I feel so blessed by this. We now have 27 in all. 21hens, 2roosters, 2ducks, and2 geese! She also blessed us with her chicken coop so they are safe from the dogs until we can get an even bigger coop built. We still have six in the kitchen under a light, Ill be glad when they are ready to go out side!!
The look on my little ones faces declares its a miracle as they come running in with eggs in the morning and evening! We are enjoying fresh eggs each day! and yes there is a difference from the store bought for sure! We are enjoying this little hobby farming very much and feel so blessed. Even though we have slowed down a little in the 'book work' of schooling we are learning so much about all the chicks,ducks and geese, hands on learning and they are all loving it! Me too!;)
Well two more classes to go on our foster classes. We have learned alot and are getting so excited as the time will come soon to recieve our first foster baby! Still quite alot to do at home in getting ready, mainly painting and getting the beds ready! We are thinking and praying for our little ones, Lord bring them safely here into our arms!
Blessings to all!
