{ TRUST }

Today was a day of many prayers.

With the weather saying that there was rain on the way and our harvest just getting started we didn't really want to have to deal with it.

So we prayed.

We prayed that the rain would stay away.

We prayed that the clouds would part for our fields.

It was strange.

All Summer along we had prayed for rain.

And almost all Summer long the rain had stayed away.

Maybe it would do the same thing now.

But while praying this afternoon I was reminded that maybe God had a different plan.

Maybe He knew that we needed to learn a lesson.

The lesson of trust.

The lesson of not leaning on our understanding and what we think is right.

The lesson of leaving it all in His hands.

So my prayers changed from "keep the rain away" to, "may Your will be done."

And this evening the rain came.

The most rain that I've seen on our yard all Summer.

As it rained I watched and I let all the doubt wash away.

God knew what He was doing.

He has a plan for our harvest, to make Himself known.

I prayed for trust for the farmers that I saw in our shop across the yard.

I prayed that even now we would give the harvest into His hands.

I prayed that we would learn the lesson that we needed to learn with grace.

We still love Him.

We still trust Him.

We still believe that He knows what is best.

And once we again we pray for the sunshine; we pray for God's will to be done.

Bringing The Cows To The Pasture

It's that time of year again, getting the cows out of the yard and into the pasture, an exciting day for us and for them. :)

The truck being loaded.

Josh and Jen deciding who goes where.

The cows waiting their turn.

Getting them loaded.

Off they go!!

Jen keeping track of everything. :)

And Andrew and Makayla watching and enjoying the sunshine.

Another Busy Day

Today, at...

We moved ALOT of barley. We emptied 5 bins into our bin ring so that we could fill them (the bins) again.

Josh and I filled the trucks, we used the auger and the grain vac.

Then once the trucks were full off they would go to the unloading place.

There Dad, Jen and Kerri would unload them and make sure the grain was filling the ring evenly.

We finished at 10:30, got the tarp out and covered it, and went to bed, past my bed time. :)

Now the barley should be safe and dry till next Spring when we empty it, and that's another story. :)
