This photo is a testament to the labor of time and This photo is a testament to the labor of time and work we put into this cow. All of us. When we first brought her home in the early winter of 2025, while I was very pregnant, I began to reconsider my decision on bringing her home. 

I knew the first few weeks would bring a transition period, but that period lasted months. She kicked—a lot. Her previous owner said she didn’t kick before. She would run through paddocks and not let us catch her. They said that never happened before either. 

What we soon realized was this mama cow, set in her ways for at least 7 years, wasn’t just protesting us. She was protesting the fact that we took her away from everything she ever knew for 7 years. 

We took her away from her mother and grandmother, both still alive and thriving when we bought her. Right in the same field with her (one was 20, the other was 16). We took her away from the hundreds of acres she got to roam on everyday, to now only having almost 6. She was protesting us because the woman who raised her from day one was no longer her milkmaid. And she protested….hard.

While she is still spicy and knows her size, she has decided to stop protesting. And has for at least the last 9 months or so.

You wouldn’t even recognize her. That crazy cow we brought home? She doesn’t exist anymore. 

Does she lead with a rope? Not greatly, but she doesn’t protest it anymore. 

Does she give us snuggles? Not greatly, but she’s obsessed with that guy holding the baby. 

She’s the healthiest cow we have on the farm.

Moral of the story—when being a steward of creation, it can be hard. Some are worth sticking it out for. Others you turn into beef sticks. But sometimes, they just need time to adjust. Because believe it or not, they feel deeply too. 

God created an intelligent design in the bovine. It’s why He has them on a thousand hills (Psalm 50:10). 🤍
The healer’s kitchen is very simple. We know that The healer’s kitchen is very simple. We know that Jesus is the ultimate healer, and yet we know that these simple herbs and remedies that sit on our shelves and counters also make us capable of healing through Yahweh’s creation. It’s a beautiful symbiotic relationship. 

We are not new age or “witchy”. In fact, with every herb we harvest and remedy we hand out, we thank God for how He created us. And we know that all we are really doing is helping Him bring His creation back into homeostasis. I always chuckle when I see people praise “natural” doctors that rarely recommend anything natural. But then look at you weird when you are literally using nature.

The healer is different. The one who partners with “the Restorer of all things”—Yahweh. We look at the environment around us. We look at the food we eat. We evaluate the water we drink, air we breathe, people we fellowship with, and emotional stresses. Because we know that stress plays a major role on health and disease in the body. 

Years ago, a friend of mine said “well you and I understand, because we are community healers.” And it hit me. I like that word. I like what it conveys. We are healers of the land, soil, family unit, culture, food system—all while being directed by the Holy Spirit, Jesus, THE Healer. 

And it is beautiful. And it is humbling. It is to be revered.

The other night during fellowship, we were processing the potential spiritual gift of healing being present in one of our group members, and someone said “He chose you to be a healer”. In HIM. Another example, but in the spiritual way through equipping and edifying.

Uniquely, when you’re busy healing your life, you come to a point where you don’t need many remedies or protocols on hand for yourself anymore. But recently a friend came over and asked if I had something that she needed immediately, and I didn’t. And I thought to myself “it shouldn’t be this way, I must get back to the way it was, ready to help heal at anytime.” 

So this week I’ve been taking time to do exactly that. Because God has called me—you and I, even—to a unique space and calling. Physically, spiritually, and agricultu
Early this morning I had a dream. In the dream the Early this morning I had a dream. In the dream there were various people, but the significant part of it was me holding my baby on my hip while praying for other people. It seemed chaotic and yet not. 

But as I began to look around in the dream, I kept hearing (while simultaneously saying) “it is compassion that makes the difference.” 

This morning I started reading the book of Mark. And in the very first chapter I read exactly this—Jesus was moved to such compassion for people. It wasn’t a task. It wasn’t a check list. It wasn’t a method. It wasn’t a doctrine or theology assignment. It was compassion and authority and His power. 

That’s it. 

My prayer today, and everyday, is this—Lord, give me compassion for Your people, the body of Christ, and sinners. Give me compassion beyond comprehension, that can only come from You. And the discernment of hearts, so I know when to move on.
This one is for the leaders in marketplace and min This one is for the leaders in marketplace and ministry…

Something I wish someone had told me earlier in leadership—

You can love people deeply and still not be available to everyone constantly. Those two things are not in conflict. Learning the difference might be the thing that saves your ministry, your business, and your sanity all at once.

The further you go in leadership, the more people will want from you. And because you genuinely care, you will feel the pull to say yes. Every time. To everyone. They are good things, but they aren’t always your assignment.

And it will slowly hollow you out if you don’t realize this. 

There is a version of being helpful that is actually a form of neglecting your own assignment. When you are so deep in everyone else’s lane that your own lane goes untended—that is not generosity. That is a boundary problem dressed up as a virtue.

You need leadership friends. But a leadership friendship is not a leadership merger. You can sharpen each other without steering each other. You cannot want it more than they want it. You cannot build it for them. If you try, you will burn out doing someone else’s work while your own sits waiting.

And there are people who will—consciously or not—try to make you their permanent wing man. Until the line between your assignment and theirs disappears. You are allowed to put that down.

Protecting your time is not selfishness. It is stewardship.

Not everyone who wants your time deserves your time. And not everyone who needs a leader needs you to be theirs.

Protect the assignment. Guard the gate. Lead well from your own house first.

Overflow from your cup into your home. Create circles just like Jesus did—the Father, the three, the 12, the rest. 🤍
There are days when I don’t feel like any of it is There are days when I don’t feel like any of it is working. Days when the animals get out and the kitchen is a wreck and a child is crying and an email goes unanswered and dinner is burned and I sit down at the end of it all and think—what am I even doing? Is any of this adding up to anything?

I see you, girl. We are wives who are also visionaries. Mothers who are also builders. Homemakers who are also entrepreneurs. We hold the baby on the hip, the business in the mind, the home in the hands, the marriage in the heart. And we do it mostly without enough sleep.

But the enemy knows that if he can get you to quit, he wins on every front at once.

So he whispers that you’re failing as a mother because you’re building something. That you’re neglecting your business because you’re tending your home. That you’re too much and not enough, simultaneously, always. He is strategic and he is a liar, and I need you to hear that today with everything in you.

Proverbs 31 was a portrait of a woman who kept going. She rose while it was still dark. She worked with willing hands. She considered a field and bought it. She opened her arms to the poor and her mouth with wisdom. But she was not perfect, she was faithful. And she knew when to rest.

That is your inheritance. That is your calling. 

God did not give you a vision for your home, your family, and your work so that you would abandon it the moment it got heavy. He gave it to you because He knew you could carry it—not in your own strength, but in His. The weight you feel right now is not a sign that you’re failing. It is a sign that you are doing something that matters.

Don’t you dare quit.

Not on your marriage when it gets hard. Not on your children when you feel invisible. Not on your home when it feels like chaos instead of sanctuary. Not on the business and mission God put in your bones. 

Every faithful, unglamorous, unremarkable day you show up is a seed going into the ground. And seeds that go into the ground do not stay there forever.

Your harvest is coming.

Keep your hands to the plow, friend. Heaven is watching, and it is not unimpressed.
