Spring Forth Farm

We have some friends at our church who left a very comfortable lifestyle in Colorado to live on a farm with their 4 boys. One day last week we went over and spent the day with them. We toured their farm and then as the boys played in the mud I tried to squeeze as much wisdom out of the mom as I could. I inquired about discipline, homeschooling, fertility, gardening, raising godly boys and everything in between. She is a wealth of wisdom and is doing a fantastic job with her husband raising their children.

It was such an encouragement to see a family a few steps ahead of us, who shares our not-so-popular values who has children who are thriving like they are. Such confirmation to know that all this hard work will pay off if we are diligent in seeking the Lord's guidance. Parenting is hard work, but He is faithful!

If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. James 1:5



...being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. ~Philippians 1:6

This family is so inspiring and such an answer to prayer. God, you are so good!
