Drama and Faith

Drama on the farm as always :)  I am so paranoid with poor Lucy that every little thing is a huge question mark.  I was reading everything I could get my hands on about calving before the big event, and now I'm reading about milk fever, ketosis, freshening and normal behavior after calving.
I am as worried about her as I would be about one of my kids :)
She has a touch of milk fever so I'm treating that but in the midst of all the stress, worry , and being on the internet 24-7 looking up symptoms.  I had a brilliant idea!  Pray....... You would think I would have done that first but I get so caught up in crisis that I forget.  So I stopped and prayed.  I can't say that there was a brilliant light and everything is perfect now.  But it did remind me who is really in control.  Surprise, surprise, it's not me!  So today in the midst of all me chaotic life, kids with attitudes, and all my work and worry.  I WILL remember who's in charge. "Thank you Father for loving me when I act like a spoiled brat and whine and complain about the wonderful things you've given me.  Please help me to surrender it all back to you.  You are much more capable than me at handling all my drama."

God's own

God has been doing amazing things in my life in the last few years.  He has been showing me how much he loves me and is teaching me how to trust him more.  I have been praying for the last few years that God will show me how much he loves me.  Not me as part of humanity but ME as in Sarah.  Some awesome things have happened!  One day as I was driving up my driveway I looked up at my house and there was a heart shaped cloud right above my house.  I was blown away because a few hours before I had asked God to show his love for me in a way I could see.  I struggle so often with insecurity and low self worth and that has really affected my relationship with God.  Sometimes it's hard for me to understand that he loves me as an individual not just as a part of the whole human race.  Have you ever struggled with knowing your worth and value in God's eyes? Psalms 139:13-16 says "For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mothers w...

Missing cow

Yesterday I got a call from a friend saying that my cow was running down the middle of the road.  So I jumped onto my handy dandy ATV and roared off to find her.  I find her in my neighbors field with his cows and a Humongous bull!  So a got my lead rope and walked( very bravely I might add)  into the pasture to retrieve my cow.   Keeping a very close eye on the bull I got to about 20 feet away, and called "Lucy".  Lucy looked up at me with her beautiful big jersey eyes, mooed and  walked  over behind the bull.  She looked at me again and I swear she was laughing!  I go and talk to my neighbor and he said that the bull is really very gentle. OK, here we go again.  I walked confidently up to the herd of cows(animals can smell fear you know)  and the promptly ran to the other side of the pasture. 45 minutes later after a friends help and twisting my ankle by slipping in a cow pie I had my cow back into my poss...
