more Pictures...

I was able to get the old camera working! so... here are the flat breads:

the shank with rice:

And... My socks! My nålbinded socks! they are done. I'm thinking of adding a tassel at the top.

I am going to make something to go on the sole, David makes traditional indian brain-tanned leather. So that is what I will put on them. So then I can wear them out side. Like what peasants wore.

Well, I hope you all have a good night!

I am missing Hannah...

Her and I always have a nice time together staying up late and reading other blogs and such and or just laughing about stuff 'cause we're really tired! :)

But I am sure her and Rebecca are having a nice time...

I would have went with them if I did not have to milk animals... I could have given the milking job to one of my brothers but I am a little particular on how it is done. And I had cheese and bread going to day... so I think everything worked out just perfect!

You have given me breath to sing. For this I am thankful. I can not live without you. As I walk this way, as you hold my hand, as you take me on, I know that your love is with me and it goes on and on. In this life there are many horizons that I do not know, but I wait in expectation for what is to come, and in this place I have found rest and joy and peace. This place is you. You have brought me to this place. You have prepared this place for me. Will it ever be that everyone knows this place? How will you draw them? A light is shining and it is bright and the eyes of the blind are being opened and the lame are walking and the sick are made well. Rejoice for the Lord our God is strong to save. He will deliver from the bondage of death and bring life to the ones in darkness. Have hope and look to the one who is delivering all and bringing all into His light and life. He is springing up a well of water in the dry place. Come and drink of this water. He is this water. Like a mighty river His spirit flows through and washes and works an inward cleansing, bringing deliverance and making whole the heart that was broken. His spirit dwells within the heart and rules the whole body. Step into this river and let Him wash and bring deliverance to your soul. Take no thought for saving your life. You life is not your own. Let Him flood your soul and carry you away and let you and yourself and all that you want and your will, and give it all to Him and be lost in Him. All will know and see Christ Jesus and bow down before him and worship Him, and know that He is Lord of their life. "At the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, of things in earth, and things under the earth. And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father" phil. 2:10-11. There will be a time that all will come to know Jesus as their Lord and will bow before him and fall on their knees and worship Him. He has drawn me and is drawing me closer to Himself each day. So He can work in any heart even a heart as hard as a stone. All men will come to the light and see the face of God. "All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the Lord: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before Thee.

For the Kingdom is the Lord's: and He is the governor among the nations.

All they that be fat upon the earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before Him: and none can keep his own soul alive.

A seed shall serve Him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation.

They shall come, and shall declare His righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that He hath done this". Ps. 22:27:31

When I see the people around me that God has created for his pleasure. I see hearts that are made to love and to know love, the love of the Father. They will know this love though Jesus. Jesus is coming to the hearts and is healing them. He is healing the nations. He is bringing them unto himself and the light of Him. I find the best way to reach a heart that is needing him is by prayer. When He wants me to say something He will tell me. I want to be open to whatever Jesus has for me. What does He want me to do? What does He want me to say? Where does He want me to go? By His spirit He will make everything known. I will wait on the Lord and in His timing He will tell me.

Unless the Father draws him, no man can see His face, and when the Father draws him it is only by His grace. Oh Lord I pray you draw me with every breath I take and change my life forever that I may see your face.

Come and let us go unto the mountain of the Lord and to the house of our God. And He will teach us of His ways and we will walk in His path for the law shall go forth out of Zion and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

Jesus is Beautiful!

And Jesus makes beautiful things in my life.

Something so small inside, but I know it is alive. It was planted long ago, Before the earth began it was there and I know it will always be. And each day I can feel it closer and closer and it draws me closer still. Like a breeze on the wind I can feel it stronger and sometimes less but still the same it is always there. Softly and quietly it comes to stay and I know it is there, even when I do not see it. It was given by your hand and I will cherish it forever. And when my life is over it will still go on and on. It is you and what you are. You come and make it known to me in your lovely way that you have always done. Your life though me, flows on forever, It touches lives and spreads on forever. How beautiful! How beautiful the hands that move and the feet that walk and the mouth that speaks and the eyes that see and the ears that hear. The life that lives in you. And moves in you. How beautiful! The beloved and the lover of my soul. The one who I run to. My rock. My high tower, the forever abiding never ending love of my life.

killdeer babies and spring days

David holding killdeer chicks

This afternoon David came in from the field and told us to come out and see something that he found. So we all ran out there to see these little fuzzy killdeer chicks. They are so cute. I held one of them. That was the first time I had ever held one of these tiny baby birds. Killdeer chicks are different than other baby birds. Most birds hatch without any fuzz and stay in the nest. Killdeer hatch with fuzz like a baby chicken and are ready to run around right after they hatch. It is so fun to watch them run after their parents. This has been the most wonderfullest of springs! I have been enjoying everyday of it. The past few days are starting to feel like summer.

very warm in the day and thunder storms at night.

On sunday we planted our field of corn.

This whole field is now planted in all corn. It is the corn that we use for baking and cook with. And feed for the chickens and pigs.

It was so much fun to all be out there planting seeds.

David made a place to plant the corn

Then Enoch and Nathanael put four seeds in place.

Daddy, Hannah and I covered them up.

Now there is about one thousand mounds out there that have four corn seeds in them waiting in the ground, getting ready to grow into corn plants. I think seeds are so amazing. Just think of everything that is in one seed. It is just amazing! Our God is amazing! I am so glad He made all these things for us to enjoy.

We worked out there all day. It was a little cloudy in the morning. By afternoon the sun was really shining. Now I have red arms and neck.

The new fencing came, so now the all animals are out on the grass.

Autumn is getting used to getting milked off the stand.

Shwanli and...

Hopli

are used to being milked out in the pasture.

It has been really nice having fresh goat's milk again.

Jesus is beautiful!

And Jesus makes beautiful things of my life!

Psalm 16

Preserve me, O God, for I take refuge in You.

I said to the LORD, "You are my Lord;

I have no good besides You."

As for the saints who are in the earth,

They are the majestic ones in whom is all my delight.

The sorrows of those who have bartered for another god will be multiplied;

I shall not pour out their drink offerings of blood,

Nor will I take their names upon my lips.

The LORD is the portion of my inheritance and my cup;

You support my lot.

The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places;

Indeed, my heritage

is beautiful to me.

I will bless the LORD who has counseled me;

Indeed, my mind instructs me in the night.

I have set the LORD continually before me;

Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.

Therefore my heart is glad and my glory rejoices;

My flesh also will dwell securely.

For You will not abandon my soul to Sheol;

Nor will You allow Your Holy One to undergo decay.

You will make known to me the path of life;

In Your presence is fullness of joy;

In Your right hand there are pleasures forever.

Picnic with Nephews...

Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the Lord

Oh how I love Thy law! It is my meditation all the day.

Thy word is very pure: there fore thy servant loveth it.

Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and Thy law is truth

Blessed is every one that feareth the Lord; that walketh in His ways

Praise the Lord; for the Lord is good: sing praises unto His name for it is pleasant.

O give thanks unto the Lord for He is good: for His mercy endureth forever
