Wow it has really been a long time since I last wrote! I think life is passing me by and I can get nothing done on time. So many things change so quickly. Days seem like minuets and are gone in the blink of an eye. So there are so many new things in my life. It looks like I am going Paramedic in August. I don't really know what to think about everything and many times it is hard to trust Gods will in my life. But the hardest thing to trust is his timing. His timing seems to be all mixed up and crazy but I know that it is perfect not to early and not to late but at the right time.

It has been a few days since I last wrote. It has been difficult to find the time I am so busy down here. I honestly don't know where to begin. We have been in many places out in the countryside from a blueberry farm then to a hog farm, another cheese plant, and two more dairy farms. We also got to stay one night in some cabins on the lake shore that was really nice. I got up early and ran on the beach it was vary nice. It has been a long and very good week!

May 11

Uruguay May 10

Today was another awesome and busy day. First we went and saw slaughter house that was amazing(we were not allowed to take pic's in the plant itself so the only one from there is the one of Ever in his white suit) then we went to a restaurant and ate. The food wasn't as good as some of the other food we have had, but then again we have been really spoiled. Then we went and saw this rural school with some really cute kids it was a lot of fun. After that we went and saw a dairy farm that milked 100 cows I was not impressed. the sunset was nice though.

Saterday May 8

I had a lot of fun yesterday. first we went to this horse auction with some really high end horses (the cheap ones went for ten thousand dollars.) Then we went over to Ricardo's country house. And took a walk through their fields that they are putting in a quince orchard. then we walked through some of the neighborhood with him and his daughter. it was so peaceful and quiet it was awesome when we got back we sat around an chatted till 930 it was a great day.

Today we went in the morning to see a vineyard/winery. after that we went and saw a meat processing plant where they manly made sausage (sorry no pics of that part) Then we went down the road just a little way and saw a hydroponic greenhouse it was fascinating.

On the way

We had some delays in Madison and Chicogo which ended up that we staying in Miami for one day.

This is Katy one of the girls that is going with me to Urugauy

Miami is not the worse spot in the world to be delayed for a day

Busy

The last month have been crazily busy. Preparation for my trip to Uruguay is taking time that I think that I need for everything else, it is really just the busy time of the year for me with planting my field and getting ready for bees this spring it has been hard to find time to do much of anything else. So I have made room by sleeping a lot less and working more. As I try to maneuver my schedule into something that I am able to do it is tempting to not take as much time out for God, this is really telling of my priorities in my life. if when things are hard and I have no time to spare if I shorten my time with God which is my life line then what am I really living for?
He must increase and I must decrease.

Not my life

It seems so easy for me to forget. I forget almost anything that I need to remember, from my keys, my cell phone, I think that even though my head is attached I forget it at times. One thing that I seem to have forgotten lately is who I am living for. O not that I have strayed completely from Christ, or that I have stopped listening to His voice, and left His path. But that I have forgotten that it is not my life. it is not what I want, its not in my time, not my goals and ambitions, no its not about me at all. God Has led my into places and things that I really enjoy and desired, and that seems make it so much easier to forget that He is the boss and try to take this train down my own track. Matt 10:39 He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it. What a trade my life that is miserable for His life of joy,and peace. My life of worry and regret for His life. Matt 11:28-30 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

Not My will but thine be done

Spring!

The sound of a rushing river full or maybe overflowing, the warmth of the spring sun, the song of the red wing black bird, and the flash of the robin's bronze chest. It fills my heart with the new hope of a new season. Cold snow still lies in some valley's, the world is brown and still looks dead, but if you look close you might just see the tip top of the tulips pushing their way through the ground, the bud's on on the maples swelling with sap, or you might hear the cry of a new born calf. The snow is melting and, the winter is just about behind us.

Spring Is Coming!

All Things Beautiful

I am not sure why I am so impatient. I want to be on to the next part of my life and I wonder "God why don't you hurry up". On one hand I can't stand sitting still and yet when I look back I think that life is passing me by! It is going so fast it seems that just yesterday I was graduating highschool. (and that was nine years ago) Where did those years go?

And at the same time I think I wish I was married and had some kids already.

I forget so easily that God has made all things beautiful in ITS TIME!

Ecclesiastes 3:1-12

There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under heaven:

2 a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
3 a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
4 a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain,
6 a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
7 a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
8 a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.

9 What does the worker gain from his toil? 10 I have seen the burden God has laid on men. 11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end.
(from New International Version)

Sometimes I need to sit back and enjoy the time God has giving me in this season of life. Wether that is the busy work schedule or the time by myself at home.

Caleb enjoy this season of life because you will never come back to it.

Savor every minute of beauty in this time!

Things that move

I bought a tractor and my brother Amos came to help for the day what an adventure!
