Fun Times

Wow.  It's been FOREVER since I've blogged.  So much has been going on...I don't even know where to begin... 

It's been a peaceful day so far.  I'm just sittin' on the swing, sippin' a cup of coffee, soaking in the warm sunshine.  Life is good.  Not always easy...but good.

Spring is in full bloom in these parts and I couldn't be more thrilled.  The trees are budding, the grass is changing into rolling hills of green and the flowers are bursting with brilliant hues.  



I've thrown open the windows and welcomed the fresh air (even though my fresh air smells like goat). =)

Our Easter decorating is almost finished and the kids and I have been working like crazy out in the garden. 

AND of course, Spring means babies.  Our newest little addition, Maggie.  Baby goats are absolutely the most adorable thing!!!

Here are a few other creatures scurrying about this crazy place we call home


 ~The evil chicken, Ariel~


 ~Bella and Emma our babies from last Spring~


 ~Mama~
I know, I know she needs a name.  She is the sweetest thing... but let me tell you it's not wise to get between her and her sweet potato fries.

 ~Last but not least, Mr. Boss Hogg~ 
It's not easy taking a picture of a pig!  For one, the moment you bend down to get a good shot he runs to tackle you to the ground.  Plus he's still mad at me for cooking a pork roast last night and honestly, he just isn't very photogenic.

I love this time of year!  It brings so much hope.  Maybe your days have been grey, your heart troubled?  Be encouraged by the new life springing up all around you...every moment truly is a gift. 

Until then...

Light Always Wins

 I was seven when I stepped foot into the Tel Aviv Airport accompanied by my stepdad - a Palestinian. The Israeli soldiers stood armed as they ripped through each of our suitcases, pulled my dad into a room for questioning, and detained us for several hours. We were not there as tourists. We were on our way to Jericho to visit family... but we were the enemy. Even at seven the hatred between all was undeniable. As a child I did not comprehend fully but I remember...fear. Walking the roads of that country for a month is an experience I will never forget. I remember once being at a family member's home while they argued over who was right, the Jews or Palestinians. I remember the tears, the anger, and shouting. I can't recall most of the words spoken that day. I don't know whose argument was stronger. What I do know is...what the Bible says about God's chosen people, and that in war... no one wins...even when it is necessary there is always suffering for both sides. The J...

Judgment Loomed

As I exited the door my heart was pierced with their animosity.  Hatred and poison spewed from their lips.  Murderer!  Whore!  Baby killer!  You'll rot in Hell for what you did!  Over and over...  The savage mob encircled me with no escape.  Screaming just a breath away from my face.  Shoving with such force I was almost knocked to the ground.  They spat in my hair.  Humiliated.  Tears streamed down my cheeks as I pushed through the violence.  Once inside my car I began to weep.   Even in the present their vile words reel through my mind.  Beads of sweat began to form in my tightly clinched fists.  Squirming in my chair... biting my lower lip as an attempt to hold it together.  Peering above the Pastor's head as though I was looking at him... knowing if I did I would burst into tears.  That was my experience at church...
