Celebrations

Welcome to the farm!

This week we are celebrating success and blessings. In June daughter #2 called and told me about a book she was reading that had to do with fasting and was written for diabetics. Since the farmer is a diabetic she thought it might be good for him. So I bought the book and our life has not been the same. This has been a total life changing experience for us and we have nothing but good things to say about our new lifestyle...now that is. For the first month the farmer told everyone that I was trying to starve him to death! Thankfully no one REALLY believed him. He has me to thank for that 30 pound drop in weight and he complains no more! But seriously this has been a God send. On June 23rd we began our first fast, 42 hours without food. That was the last time the farmer took his diabetic medications or his blood pressure meds. He has been totally medication free for 3 months!! His blood sugars are that of a non-diabetic person! If you want to talk about a reason for celebration, this is it! We are excited to be able to share another piece of our story and to be able to walk along side anyone who wants to come along. Are we perfect, no! Is it easy, no! Are the rewards worth it, totally! 

God never gives us the easy way for anything, easy does not shape us into what He wants us to be. We are God's chosen people, chosen at creation, did you get that? CHOSEN AT CREATION, let that sink in a minute...before you were born He knew you. God created you for a specific purpose. God is our Potter, he is moulding and making us into what He wants each of us to be. No it is not an easy path, but the rewards are well worth it. I struggle daily with the things of the world, I am so thankful for a Father who meets me where I am and gently guides me on His path, when I stumble He picks me up and says "Try that again, let Me lead this time!" 

We are excited for this new path that God has set before us in being able to share our lives with you. We have been asked many times about our diet and have even been asked if we would share our tips and recipes on our blog (when we had one!) More on that next time! 

Thanks for visiting the farm today. Come back often, we'll be waiting for you.
