Road Trip to OH part 3

Before we knew it, it was Saturday--and time for the grad party!

We all got there early to set things up.

Lots of fun working together and meeting new friends

Marci was in place as the official photographer for the day

The guests began arriving and the day was filled with lots of fun!

We met so many nice people, and made some new friends.

I think the graduate enjoyed herself too :)

We were to leave early the next morning, so once we packed things away and went

back to the farm, we gathered together for a short time of fellowship on our last evening.

Afterwards we snapped a few shots and said some goodbyes.

Thanks Mike and Marci for allowing us to come, we love you and

your Wonderful Neighbors! :)



Road Trip to OH part 2

Mike and Marci's Amazing Graze Farm is a beautiful and peaceful place.

(At least it was when we were there!) :)

(If you read their blog you can see that sometimes things can get quite busy there!)

Here are some of the shots of the farm that I took while there... 

(sorry--these cows are all pointing the wrong way! lol)

My husband quite enjoyed relaxing on the farm!

Isn't this the cutest face!?

Dreamin'

I haven't posted on this for awhile...but it was on my mind this morning...

Our family has had a long-time dream of moving to the country to live on a farm. It has been many years, but the Lord hasn't opened a door for us to move as of yet.

We are still hopeful though.

In the meantime, I have to say that although this seems contradictory...He has also given me a great feeling of contentment about where I am.

Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. Hebrews 13:5

At the beginning, when we first had the dream of a farm, I was extremely discontent about living in the suburbs. I couldn't see anything but the negatives!

Now, I am happy to live here. I am glad that God has been working on me, because when I was discontent, I was without peace. I was troubled and angry and miserable.
Now, I am content, peaceful and full of joy.

However, I must say, I'm still open to that farm too! :)
