June. It’s June! It’s been an up-and-down year on many levels. It really has. Yet, May flew right by for us. This becomes a busy season on our farm.

Pages and Projects {Winnie the Pooh, Bible Journaling, and Whispers of Hope}

Made to Move Mountains
The back cover of Made to Move Mountains begins with these words, ” Life is an incredible journey with many ups and downs.” It is, isn’t it?! We know and believe this, but never are we more aware of it than when upheaval and uncertainty come calling. Right now, for most of us, the coronavirus […]
Little Mole Finds Hope
Hope. Isn’t this what all of our hearts need? Some days more than others. Sometimes it feels that hope has vanished. We can’t seem to see it. We can’t find it.
