“There's a peace I've come to know Though my heart and flesh may fail There's an anchor for my soul I can say "It is well"” 🎶❤️ From: I Will Rise by Chris Tomlin

We know that our God promises to come again. He is our true Rescuer, Redeemer, Restorer, Defender, our Shepherd, our true Leader, our Father, our only Light in this darkness. Please Father, shine your light on all those who can’t see your light. Help us Father, to shine it brightly. #weareOne #childrenofOne #lovewithoutborders #handsandfeet #sowillI #refugees #Syria #hope #JesusChrist #theChurch

Praying this verse over all my brothers and sisters — especially the suffering, bleeding and hurting, wandering, lost, and broken-hearted. 💔 God is near. When I have a “home” again, I would like to welcome the hurt, e.g. war refugees, homeless, to come stay. For I know how hard it is to wander from place to place, and still have a whole lot of comforts. What I do not know is what it is like to run for me and my family’s life, away from my “home” because my home is no longer, without any comforts whatsoever — and chaos ensuing. 💔😓💔 #weareOne #childrenofOne #Syria #refugees #sowillI #lovewithoutborders #handsandfeet

“We are all starved for the glory of God, not self. No one goes to the Grand Canyon to increase self-esteem. Why do we go? Because there is greater healing for the soul in beholding splendor than there is in beholding self. Indeed, what could be more ludicrous in a vast and glorious universe like this than a human being, on the speck called earth, standing in front of a mirror trying to find significance of his own self image? It is a great sadness that this is the gospel of the modern world. The Christian Gospel is about “the glory of Christ,” not about me. And when it is —in some measure—about me, it is not about my being made much of by God, but about God mercifully enabling me to enjoy making much of him forever.” ~John Piper

I am challenged to think if God counts each star and calls them by name---how much more must He care for you and me? We are not missing in the eyes of our Heavenly Father. He knows where we are, He knows our stories, He knows what we're going through, He knows what we've done and what we have yet to do, and guess what???? He loves us so much---we are his children. ❤️He sees you. ❤️

Holstein International had this photo on a magazine page of theirs a while back and I am just looking at some old things of mine. I used to keep this on my desk, but I didn't know why I loved it so much. I suppose there are many reasons why I love it. However I think the biggest one now is that it reminds me that each one matters. If one runs off, the farmer goes for her. God did the same for me.

Yes, I CAN! You too!

This was such a joy to receive, thank you Erin @riverviewllp for the 'Color Our Dairy' coloring book!! This page says, "farmers work many hours each day to care for their animals and land. Words often used to describe farmers include passionate, dedicated and hardworking." I have learned that my #passion for #dairy is entirely dependent on my Lord #JesusChrist. That any #dedication I have is only because of Him, and through the example He's set for me. He never gives up on me, and He gave all for me. As for the #hardworking spirit, that too comes from Him. He has relentlessly shown me His love when I didn't recognize nor deserve it. P.S. I wasn't one to gush over babies...until I had one!! I only gushed over baby calves till my #PrudenceSofia was born. Now thanks to my Heaven Father I am filled with love for babies AND calves too! #iamsecond #dairywoman #love #newborn #lechera #cienporciento #ganado #amor #cattle #calves #freshbaby #fresca #becerros #madre #mishijosbovinos #mybovinechildren #maternera #maternityshoot #motherhood #mother #lifegiver #children #maternity #maternidad #hijos

Throwback to my internship at Riverview, LLP in 2014. There are very few things that make my heart happier than a newborn calf with breath in his/her lungs and a beat in his/her heart, from above!! @riverviewllp #dairywoman #love #newborn #calfcart #carritodebecerros #lechera #cienporciento #ganado #amor #cattle #calves #fresh #fresca #becerros #madre #mishijosbovinos #mybovinechildren #maternera #maternityshoot

"My momma is so productive, she makes enough milk for me and more than a few families every single day!!" The average dairy cow in the United States produces 5-7 gallons (90 glasses) per day. The average calf drinks 1-2 gallons of milk per day depending on size and age. The average weaning age of a dairy calf is 6-8 weeks of age and also depends upon how much solid feed the calf is eating. #undeniablydairy #dairywoman #holsteins #calves @gaboobaby #sharingthelove #wholemilk #supercalves #lecheros #lecheras
