Time...

..it does seem to fly sometimes! I have been reflecting on the past 5 months that I've been in IL, and all that I have learned, memories I've made, tears I've cried, character I've built....God is just so good and His time is always right! I thought I was just gonna be in IL for a few short summer months, now its almost November and right now I have know idea what the future holds. Sometimes it scary, and I really wish I knew, but it's nice just to see what God will do next and just to wait on Him and try not to worry about it! Because the battle is the Lords and He has it all under control! Oh...sometimes I just wish I had a little (alot) more faith!! But just so you know, I do love my job and I've made wonderful memories here! 7 hours is just a long ways away from your family!! Oh and I made it to 1000 on my Thankfulness list, that I probably started almost a year ago!! It was awesome! I certainly have much to be thankful for!! My latest entries-
1014: throwing 160 bales of hay today
1015: having a great day
1016: laughing at myself because of stupid things!

Anyway...here's some pictures:)

Changes

Yup big changes! I'm moving...to Fairbury, Illinois, in less than a month. Who would have ever thought? Definitely was not in my plans to be doing, or ever doing! But God had a different plan in mind, and I know its a greater plan than I could have ever come up with. But if it would have been my choice, Illinois would have been definitely not on the top of my list. Don't get me wrong I love the people, but it's just a little to fast paced for me, has no dirt roads or even gravel for that matter, and there's lots n lots of people and towns and houses! :) A little different from what I'm used to here in Bern, Kansas! But I'm getting more excited. It's going to be a big adjustment tho. I'm gonna miss my dear, crazy, awesome, maybe a little odd at times, Family so much! And my wonderful friends, whom I will dearly miss! But don't worry I will be home a lot!....I think! :) And the big open spaces where you can't see anything or anyone for miles around...

Greetings from.....Oh wait...I'm still here in Kansas and still alive. Doing what I love. Working with and milking cows and more cows, anticipating the upcoming Kansas State Fair and the World Dairy Expo! And attempting to teach the kiddos again. Which has been going much more smoothly than last year. Even tho yes, I'd much rather be outside, it has been a great experience for me and I think I'm learning more than the kids. :) When God says 'He won't give us more than we can't handle' is very true. Because I really don't know how I've made it a year and now starting an other year helping the kids with school. Don't get me wrong, I just love spending time with my siblings and I love them to the moon and back, but teaching just isn't my thing. Thus it is a tremendous experience for me and teaching me so many things! God has a crazy way putting us through things to learn crazy amazing things! I recently was at Ignite, a Church function in Il...
