I'm afraid I'm not very good at keeping up with a blog, but here's an update from this past week.
School: ... let's just say I've been spoiled by my semester of christian liberal arts education. My professors here are of different breed, and I find I'm really having to stretch myself to get through the day. This is an area of growth and prayer for me. How blessed am to be able to attend college within eight minutes from my home? I wonder if I'm not cut out for school, but in honoring my parents, I have to give it my best shot, not matter how difficult! *sighs*
Family: We celebrated my daddy's 57th birthday on the 18th. We really enjoyed ourselves. I made a cake from a mix that I tweaked up a bit and topped it with homemade butter cream frosting- yummy! Momma fixed our family's birthday supper for him (country fried steak and gravy). I'll share pictures soon ;) Then, Thursday night Dad and I got a real treat! We were planing on going off to the auction, but Momma actually wanted to come with us! So the three of us headed way out in the sticks and enjoyed the "hillbilly auction" as Mom calls it. Daddy even bought me a pretty little green and pink case knife!
Farm: I've been busy trimming up the does' tails and udders in preparation for their babies and milking. Early in the week I noticed one of my nubian does, Junya, had a large knot in her neck. She started running a fever, so off to the vet we went. Turns out she's got an infection of some sort and it has flared up her lymph system. Dr.Will thankfully wasn't concerned with CL (an infectious disease in goats). With antibiotics, the swelling in her neck is already coming way down.
Faith: Last Sunday was almost retreat like for me. I visited the church of my dear friend, Ilana, and through the message God restored so much hope and faith within me! I'm really wanting to make it through the bible this year. More posts to come about some callings I've had lately!
And finally, whoever you may be, I pray that you are strengthened in your own faith this coming week!
God Bless!
