Took this pic today at the market......it was raining outside and love the way the rays from the lights inside came shining through!
It has been a whirlwind of a month for my sweet man, Tressa and myself. Putting in so so many hours and feel at times like life is falling apart. God is our refuge and help though it all and if it wasn't for Him.......well I would have fallen apart! We know without a shadow of a doubt that He has us right where we need to be. Sharing the love of Jesus! Who said it would be easy. Well......when things were getting to be wayyyyyy to much I was talking to my precious friend and Prairie Flower Girl, Jill Novak. Some may remember her from Remembrance Press and her magazine The Girlhood Home Companion. Anyway we were talking and she said, "if ever you need help I am sure Elizabeth.........their daughter would love to come and do an internship!" When things got really hard and life felt like it was to much, I called. A week later we picked her up at the airport.....that was last SONday! I wanted to share, but time was just not there for me to even write! She put up a post today on her blog.......I thought it would be fun for you to see the Coffeehouse from her perspective. We love her and she fits just perfectly in the shop! She is lovin' it and we are lovin' having her! God knew just what we needed....we are all not so tired!
Hugs and God bless those who have been praying for us on this major adventure. More then we thought it would be......but again we are just holding on to every promise He has and cry out when we need help......wink.....which seems like every minute these days!
Jesus is so good......and He knows the plans He has for us!
I do so enjoy it when I am home on the farm......which hasn't been much and I miss. The Lord is letting me learn more about quiet and learning to rest in Him. I found one single egg last SONday morning......one of my Girls left it for me! Simple things mean a lot again in my life! Learning gratitude......learning never stops no matter how old you are.

I am so glad you have good help! Blessings surrounding you Linda! God is good. I wanted to share a little story. While we were talking with Tressa yesterday she was putting a bouquet together for two ladies. I noticed they were wearing Sterling College caps. I saw them at the race and one of the ladies handed that beautiful bouquet to a young man, probably her son, after he finished his race! Made my heart smile! Hugs and Much love to you and yours.
