I’ve been laid up with an intense allergic reaction to the arrival of Spring in the south. Only for it to turn ugly and become a full on infection of the airways. I’m so thankful for amoxicillin , rest, and a quiet place to do so. When I say I’m really not a southern girl. I mean it. As we speak my ears are roaring with pain, because I dared to walk outside to my car. Thank you, Pollen.
I ran away with my family for Spring Break to the rolling hills and ridges of Serenity Ridge Farm . It’s not a joke that the farm was named Serenity Ridge. That place is like a warm hug for your soul, and the love that you experience there is like a floodgate opened up. It’s the perfect place to hideaway from the world, and just think. Of course the only real picture I got from the trip was of the newest addition to the farm. The dog, Watson. Who is a perfect gentleman of a dog , very well mannered and quite loving. He’s also a collie, and it’s safe to say I’m in love with him. Granted not half so in love as his girl, ( my niece) or even the whole family at Serenity Ridge. Give them a follow on Instagram and enjoy watching the goings on at the farm.
If you feel like your world has gone crazy and upside down lately, you aren't alone.
Between the traumatic events and Nashville, Ft.Campbell, and significant change in my own personal life, circumstances can and do feel overwhelming.
I have no solutions, except that I know God is Sovereign. 
Looking ahead;
I finished up a few sewing projects , and as soon as my body is back to 100 percent , there will be a review on the patterns I used.
I’ll also be posting some recipes that we have tried, and some thoughts on our expectations of God are coming soon.
For now , I’m gonna reach for my box of tissues, pop a cough drop in my mouth , and fight the urge to sleep while I homeschool my children. It’s very true that your body doesn’t work well when your gut health is off, and after several days on amoxicillin, my gut is proverbially screaming “What have you DONE to me!!!??”.
But, before I go ,I wanted to leave you with a smidgen of encouragement.
A fortune cookie’s worth of truth , if you will.
God is not a man that He should lie. What He has called you to, He will prepare you for. He is good all. The. Time.
Steady my friends, life’s gonna get a little western, but God’s got this.
