Quail on our Homestead | Not a complete fail, or success

May 9, 2016 · In: homesteading, quail

My sister keeps reminding me that I haven’t really said much about our quail since we’ve added them to the homestead. And if we’re being honest, it’s because I still…

Wintertime Hatching

It’s inevitable — every single year I get the urge to hatch chicks or ducklings, and every single time I decide to hatch them during the coldest months of the…

hello!

I'm Amy. I love organic food but I love Oreo's. I love Jesus and His grace. I believe broken people make the biggest impact in the world when they share their stories. I believe in stories, and I'm sharing mine.

If you follow people online, you often call them a If you follow people online, you often call them an “influencer”. Let me be the one to tell you that most of us in the sphere that I am in do not consider ourselves “influencers”. Some may consider themselves teachers, leaders, ministers, and more, but the term influencer has never been something we’ve enjoyed. 

The reality is this—we found ourselves in the middle of a crossroad on our timeline where someone needed to pick up a mic and speak truth in the midst of chaos. Most of us have no interest in being online at all. We wouldn’t be sad if the internet disappeared tomorrow. But we were handed that microphone, influence, and anointing to go along with it.

Don’t be fooled—it’s not because of algorithms and marketing plans. If you are succeeding in this online world or your physical sphere of influence for Jesus, it’s because you were given the open door to do so. It’s not about you. It’s about what God knows He can entrust to you for His will and kingdom. 

Some people chase after people, trends, validation, recognition, and the spotlight. But can I tell you what comes along with those things? Hatred, bullying, misunderstanding, monitoring people and spirits, people lying about you, persecution—and if you’ve really made it, threats on your life and persecution.

You see, people want the influence. People want to be close to a Kingdom influencer. But if you aren’t ready to roll with the good AND bad, then you’re not ready. 

Jesus was the OG influencer, and He was spit on, lied about, and killed for His influence. Follower of Jesus—you are told to prepare for the same thing in the world. No matter your influence level.

A time is coming in America where influence online won’t matter anymore, yet the outcome will remain the same. The time to prepare for that is now—spiritually and emotionally. 

But take heart, dear one. He has overcome the world. I speak to believers and leaders everyday who are truly influencing to make a difference—some online, some never touching a screen. 

Jesus is building His church stone by stone. Some of us have mics, some of us will never be broadly known to man. Yet the struggle is still the same. Pray for us.
This morning I made a Mother’s Day tea—this one is This morning I made a Mother’s Day tea—this one is for you, ladies! 

My hormones have been all over the place as I inch closer to 40 and begin to slowly wean our little one. I’ve been snappy and know I need more nourishment. My skin has been out of sorts and, moral of the story, my body needs help. This tea is great for anyone—but it is especially healing for women. 

The jar made in the reel is a concentrate (I used lots of herbs), meaning, I add about 1 cup or more (whatever you’d like) of this liquid concentrate to my pint/quart jar and fill the rest with ice and cold water. But the “amounts” would stay the same in “parts”. 

If I were to add one more thing to this tea, it would be lemon balm. It is also very calming and aromatic. But since lemon balm is growing fresh right now, I add a sprig of it to each glass made with this herbal concentrate when I pour. 

This blend is fabulously cooling, nourishing to the body, and especially beneficial to women of all ages. 

You can add raw honey to sweeten this tea, and it is divine. 

🌺 Hibiscus flower (Hibiscus sabdariffa)
An incredible antioxidant which helps support the immune system, reduces oxidative stress, and supports your health at the cellular level. It may also help with cholesterol and cardiovascular health. This is a wonderful cooling herb for summer time, peri- and regular menopause. (Use sparingly while pregnant).

🌼Chamomile
Most noted for its ability to calm, relax, and cool. It is an efficient gentle anti-inflammatory and works well for the gastrointestinal tract. It is a gentle nervine, making it ideal for the central nervous system.

🌿 Stinging Nettle
An extremely nourishing herb, it is rich in iron, magnesium, calcium, proteins, and so many minerals. Nettle is anti-inflammatory and anti-allergenic. Nettle will help build strength in your body, and nourish it to its core—every system in the body is nourished by it. It is a natural antihistamine, mast cell stabilizer, and tonic.

🍃Red Raspberry Leaf
Rich in minerals and manganese. It works effectively in supporting and toning the reproductive system. It is also great for use as an antacid, hormones, heart and eye h
Never give up. Never give up.
If you’re like me, you avoid the doctor’s office a If you’re like me, you avoid the doctor’s office at all cost. Our littlest little ones have never been to the doctor, but there have certainly been instances where we needed to speak to one. 

Thankfully we have our own personal friend that is a doctor, but Dr. Ben isn’t taking anymore patients! And I have been looking for an alternative for all of YOU! 

Healthcare is changing, and it needed to. If you can’t find a freedom loving doctor near you, or you simply don’t want to foot the office, this is the most amazing option, and it’s inexpensive! 

The best part is that you get to sit right in your own home, just like a modern day house call. 

With the link below, you can get your first month free. It’s healthcare but a monthly membership. It is FREEDOM loving, decentralized healthcare. And I think many of you will benefit!

It is not easy to homestead and raise littles. Whe It is not easy to homestead and raise littles. When I hear people say “but the older women did it alone and did fine”, I scratch my head. No, they didn’t. Our culture now is completely opposite of what it once was. 

So let me be the one to tell you, your great grandmother did not homestead alone. Women in the Bible did not provide for their family alone (and neither did the men, this is a new concept). 

Depending on which generation you are from, your great grandmother more than likely had her husband at home most days running the property, investments, and doing odd and end jobs in the community. Before the Industrial Revolution, men were also busy at home on the farm and in the community.  Man and woman worked side by side as God always intended. Both providing for their family in different ways. 

If she didn’t have a husband for support, she had her sister or brother, mother, cousin, a trusted friend, uncle—there was someone. Women knew they could not do it all on their own when in the season of bearing and raising children.

In the Bible we saw the Proverbs woman (and others) very active in providing for the home and family. Not alone, but with her husband. We often think of “provision” as monetary.  But provision was also very much working your land for your food. This was the first economic decision you made—homestead economics. And THEN you worked other places if and when necessary—both man and woman. 

There were communities of agrarian people constantly working together. It truly took a village—both in biblical times and great-grandma’s time. 

If we want this system to work…
If we want our communities to be sustainable…
If we want the culture to change…

Then we must get back to this. 

I am in a weird space in time where I am both still raising littles and simultaneously heading into my “older teaching the younger” season. And I am grateful for it. Because I still see so intricately what needs there are for others because I’ve been there more recently. It is a beautiful space to be. 

Ladies—it’s time to bring the village back. Let the Titus 2 women spread out their tent pegs and arise with wisdom and boldness, strength and resources.
