Enthusiasm!

I can show enthusiasm in doing a lot of different things, and can give my full attention to many things. But am I truly enthusiastic in learning more about Christ and doing what He has called me to do, and giving Him my full undivided attention? I mean seriously, when your favorite team wins, or your favorite cow has a heifer, or you get something new, or whatever..you name it, we jump and shout for joy! No I'm not saying these things are wrong, but I just hope I'm am doing the same thing for Christ? Am I jumping and shouting for joy everyday all that He has done for me? Even through the bad days..? Sometimes I feel like I do things because, well that's what a good Christian should do and so on. But do I really show enthusiasm? Do I possess the Zest?

Something that makes me enthusiastic is witnessing a baptism! My 16 yr bro Benton gave his testimony and was baptized this past weekend! Was an absolutely amazing weekend! So happy and thankful for Him and Love him so much!  I don't have a real recent picture of us together, and we forgot to take one Sunday, otherwise I would have put one of us on. :)

I Just love this sight! ;)


I realize these pictures are from a few weeks ago, because we now have snow and it is cold. But anyway, a couple weeks ago we worked some calves and then brought the heifers home from the pasture, before the snow flew!


And we got the oats swathed and baled and wrapped.

 
And the pack barn cleaned out and bedded out with fresh sawdust!

 
And in more recent news, I got offered another job, which I took (Lord help me) helping a guy who has a small herd, milk in the afternoons. It's not a whole lot, but it adds up! It was actually the first job I ever had besides workin for dad, that I had started at 14 and now i'm back at it! :)


 
And to more recent pics of the first snow of the season! :) I'm just lovin these snowy days! ;)  curled up by the fire, coloring with the little girls, wearing hats and boats, drinking hot choc and watching it snow, seeing my breath puff in the air! :)

 
And  I once again failed to take a picture of us. And this was all I had of the evening, ( trying to tempt our friends with starbucks:)) Jody, Mariah, and I had a little girls night and went out to eat in Topeka! Such a fun evening with some awesome girls! Had some wonderful talks and memories made! So thankful for these girls and their friendships!

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

Back in Kansas | week 1

Image
Yes, I'm home.  Yes, I miss Bukeka. Yes, I'm cold. Yes, I miss it. Yes, it went fast. Yes, I learned a lot. No, I won't be able to explain it all right now.  One of my friends on the other side thought it was funny how I numbered my weeks while I was in Uganda, but then he suggested I should do the same thing when I get back home too. Praising God for the most incredible past 7 months and also for the safe journey back home on Tuesday.  You know I am praising Jesus so much, my first week at home couldn't have gone better. I was nervous and anxious about coming home, and still am a little with the weeks ahead. But God has been so faithful to me. I'm 100% confidant its the prayers prayed on my behalf with this transition. Yes I'm lonely for my kids and all that Suubi was to me, but so far the transition home has been so smooth. Maybe it helps that I could jump right back into working, and that I got to come home to two of my sibling

Tribute to Richard

Image
        I don't know if it was more of a honor to know such a man, work for him, or speak at his Rosary service, but people like Richard don't come around very often and I for one feel so blessed to be touched by his life.         We tend to say that Richard lost his battle with brain cancer, but what really happened is that he won. He gained the greatest victory on Monday, July 6th, 2020 and is now living the best life and I am so jealous. He was so ready to go and his last few weeks were such a testimony to me. Patiently  and eagerly  waiting to leave this earth and his physical pain. That's how I want to be.         I’ve been blessed to have many wonderful and incredible examples and mentors in my 25 years thus far, but out of all of them, Richard outweighs them all. He was a silent example in so many ways and I think I can say along with many other young people that even though Richard didn’t have any children of his own, he was like a father figure to so many of us.
