How did Adam and Eve REALLY populate the world? Why did we go from living 900 years to only 120? oh and what was REALLY so special about Noah?

These are always things I didn't understand! However, I started doing the Bible Recap... yes I know the goal is to start reading in January but God meets us where we are and this is where I am! It's never too late to start something new or to start over!

The biggest thing to realize is that God's truth will always win! Sometimes it seems like Satan is making advances but just like in war, some battles are won while others are lost, but there is only one winner overal and that will always be God!

Ep. 48

Love is where it's at... in life we can focus so much on how green others pastures are that we forget to water our own. But if we change our focus to being grateful for the success of others and the accomplishments they have made, then there can be no root for envy!

We are going to have those days that nothing seems to go right or that we are in a bit of a mood funk. The trick is that we can't stay there, we have to find a way out of that hole! So today I want to chat about some ideas to turn that frown upside down!

Years ago, adding pigs to our homestead was my idea. Thankfully my husband took it over and is doing a much better job then I was. Pigs are so easy to raise and with a 70% dressing yield you can get so much meat off one animal! Today I want to chat with you about the cost breakdown and savings when you raise your own meat.

I mention Tractor Supply in this episode. They are a great resource for all your fencing, feeding, and general livestock supplies. Make sure to use the LINK for your next Tractor Supply purchase.

“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink, or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air, they do not sow or reap or store away in barns and yet your heavenly father feeds them. Are you not more valuable than they?” Matthew 6:25-26 I know that God believes we are. The difficulty is that often we are too busy or distracted of our fears and worry, thus blocking our sight and we are blinded to Gods provisions. Today let's chat about waiting for God to open new doors!

Make sure to check our Rooted In for my new Blog Series starting Saturday - What are we spending? As things get a bit tighter for everyone, I always find it helpful to see how other's do finances. So I want to share what we are doing!

"A jack of all trades is often a master of none, but is still better then a master of one!" Did you know that was the whole saying? I didn't! I always thought that because I dabble is so many things that it was a bad thing. Like why can't I just be great at one thing!?! But the reality is we can't compare ourselves to those around us because God has created us to be unique! We need to make the choice to learn from others, rather then begrudge them because they have what we don't. A great way to practice that is through raising chickens and working in your kitchen! Come along with me today as we chat about the lessons I've learned!

Check out Tractor Supply for all your poultry needs!

Make sure to hop over to Rooted In for some great reading materials and soon more information about raising chickens!

Finally, now that summer is in full swing, have you upgraded your footware? Make sure to check out MyPillow for some new summer sandels!

Baked Whole Frozen Chicken

Take a frozen chicken, place on a dry pan (add no water) season (I like Rosemary, Onion Powder and Salt) bake at 425 degrees for 20 mins uncovered. Then cover it in foil with the shiny side down, drop the heat to 350 degrees and bake about 3 hours or until the meat thermometer says 165 degrees internally. ENJOY!
