Snippets of farm life with a growing family – the highlight kind of snippets. There’s quite a lot in between these moments that really don’t look and feel as whimsical 😂

The majority of the farm work just is plain hard, with not much reward – and we are dancing the delicate balance of doing this on a low budget, while we also sow into our young family. Many would say it’s really not an ideal time to do something like this – but the fruit shows that God has said differently. There has been a whole lot of times where we’ve prayed for provision for something we’ve needed to keep running our little farm that was above our pay bracket – and every time, miraculously, we’ve been provided for. We have all we need for each day in this and we are certainly not a fancily set up operation – but we have seen the fruits of deeper trust and endurance, and our family being brought together in a way we haven’t known before.

We’ve had quite a few people say the phrase to us, “you’re living my dream!” It makes us laugh, as most of the time it can feel very far from dreamy. But the dream we are living – and will not trade for anything – is following God and risking saying yes to him, at all costs. It is what has held us here when we’ve wondered if it’s all worth it. To live with the One who is bigger than all of this, who owns the story of all time – it is something all of us are invited into.
