Ladies, I am HOME! I made it back to Montana late Sunday night. It has been far to long being away from my hubby but he has been so super attentive and we have been just taking this week to just "BE" together and spend time catching up etc. It is definitely WAY COLDER here than Az but still very mild given the time of year. We saw the first winter/spring calf this morning with her mamma. Wes went out and tagged it and made sure it was ok and ears were good since it was 25 over night. Gray is off hauling today and I am actually catching up with all things "wifey" and putting things in order. No more bachelor life for the hubs. HAHAA! Anyway I went ahead and attached the E-Book Guide I gave as a gift to you all so be sure rather than using a code in check out to get it you can just download it straight from the post. It is pinned at the top of the page. Stay tuned as I rev back up now that I am home! Drop a line and let me know what you all have been up to! Would love to hear from you.

Embry is the newest rescue. His siblings and mother passed during labor on September 10, 2025. He was the lone survivor. To start with I was not sure how he was going to do because he didn’t want to take the bottle. I prayed over him and sang Jesus Loves Me to him. We had to get a preemie bottle with a small nipple to start with. It didn’t take too long for him to graduate to a bigger bottle and nipple. He loves jumping around and seeing how high he can jump. He loves going into the duck pin and chasing the ducks. Today he drank some water out of a water bowl. He brings lots of smiles.

Philippians 2:3–4 — “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves.” When most people picture leadership, they think of power, charisma, or control. But Kingdom leadership — servant leadership — looks different. It’s steady, faithful, and grounded in humility. Servant leadership isn’t weakness — it’s strength under submission. It’s the ability to lead with grace while standing firm in truth. It’s doing what’s right, not what’s loud. Think of Queen Elizabeth II. For seventy years she carried the weight of a nation with composure and faith. She never needed to demand attention — her quiet steadiness earned it. She modeled what it means to lead with dignity, consistency, and deep devotion to service. Or Ruth Bell Graham, wife of evangelist Billy Graham. She never stood on the big stages, but her influence shaped one of the most impactful ministries in modern history. Her strength was found in prayer, patience, and the quiet leadership of home. She reminded us that greatness often grows in hidden soil. Even in popular culture, you see this in women like Dolly Parton — a woman who built an empire without losing her kindness. She’s used her platform to give generously, educate children, and treat everyone like family. That’s servant leadership in action — using influence to lift others, not elevate self. And closer to our modern faith-based circles, Joanna Gaines models this beautifully — leadership through hospitality. She builds spaces where people feel seen, valued, and restored. Her design isn’t just in homes; it’s in hearts. Each of these women, in their own way, embody Philippians 2 leadership: valuing others above themselves, serving through grace, and influencing through love. That’s what true strength looks like. It’s not loud or self-promoting — it’s quietly faithful, grounded in character, and centered on purpose. 🎯 Challenge: Choose strength through softness today. Respond with peace instead of pressure.
