My sweet bestie @Hannah Lindsay is going through a wild season. Their family is about to make a massive international move (in less than a month, LITERALLY) and in this past week her little boy suffered a severe medical event. He’s on the mend and healing, but on top of everything their family is managing right now, it’s a lot. If you all could cover her family and lift them up, I know she’d be immensely grateful ❤️

like, bad. (How I’m supporting myself toward the end!) The farm is steadily gaining new customers. The work load is steadily growing too. I’ve got 4 kids from ages 10 to 2 who all need me and are at such different milestones of development… it’s whiplash going from conversations about Jesus, sin, the evil world, emotional stewardship, and teaching division to wiping a butt of one of the little kids all within 20 minutes 🥲 and just repeating that cycle multiple times a day! Lol Constantly pouring myself out, seeking to give them the best version of myself currently feels like a sprint on a hamster wheel. We are really limited on water here in Colorado this year and it’s taking a toll on everyone who’s trying to earn their living from the land. It’s so hot, we invested a lot of money in seed for our fields where our cows graze, and watching the seeds struggle in the hot sun because it’s “not our turn for the irrigation water until tomorrow” is a constant, gnawing stress. The grass is the food for the cows. And it’s not like hay is a reliable backup, because all the farmers trying grow hay to sell ALSO have minimal water. So what hay they do cut, is supposed to be double or even triple the normal costs. My husband is a first responder. His job is demanding and a strain on us all. He’s really burnt out and wishes he could be with us more. But what choice is there right now? It’s our only income. I’m coming face to face with my time management weaknesses. I also broke my toe last weekend so I haven’t really been able to exercise. It just feels like a lot right now. Here’s how I’m supporting myself and taking it one day at a time though, because my birthright is to be an overcomer, and I refuse to let victim mentality poison my days. -I’m remembering that perfectionism leads to mental/emotional paralysis in myself, so I am just STAYING IN MOTION. It’s all gotta get done, and I don’t really care how. I’m just eating the elephant one bite at a time. Imperfect progress is always better than perfect procrastination.

How was the day? What was your favorite part? Did you get any great gifts? Tell me in the comments! My husband made me a beautiful breakfast and EVERY part of it was produced here on our little farm! The raw a2/a2 milk, the pork, the eggs (all of which are 100% corn and soy free) Dakota and I also made the the table and the little hands on it too 🤭🤭🤭 Such a feeling of accomplishment sitting there for that meal! Praise God for His kindness ❤️

It’s called: Conviction vs. Condemnation. A Guide to understanding how your enemy exploits your neurobiology. It’s LIVE in the classroom! It’s currently FREE for all my founding members for a limited time. All I ask is this, could you peep it and tell me what you think??? You can binge it in 30 min or less. Check it out!

This is one of the *best* teachers out there when it comes to mental/emotional battlegrounds we face as Christians. I’ve learned so much from Mark DeJesus. “A gentle answer turns away wrath…” Have you ever considered you could apply that verse TO YOURSELF? Mercy is a silver bullet for stopping the rage-train. Self control follows suit and is much easier to grasp in those moments. In your struggle, your weakness and your overwhelm, Christ is ready to meet you ❤️ He’s ready to show us what our anger is REALLY protecting (automatically, because you know…fight or flight 😂) and free us from these cycles of showing up as the version of ourselves that we hate. Have you considered kindness toward yourself in this area of anger/overwhelm before? Here’s a link to Mark’s website if you’d like to check out more of his materials https://markdejesus.com/topics/
