“The servant who knows what his master wants and ignores it, or insolently does whatever he pleases, will be thoroughly thrashed. But if he does a poor job through ignorance, he’ll get off with a slap on the hand. Great gifts mean great responsibilities; greater gifts, greater responsibilities!”
My favorite farm guy and I spent about five hours together on the road the other day.
Road trips are the best place to dream, aren’t they?
We found ourselves talking about the future. Somehow our conversations always head in that direction. Yours too?
From traveling the US-to building a cabin someday-to farming with more animals-to scaling and selling businesses-to ministry life-to writing more books and so forth… the trip allowed for a wide spectrum of thought.
I remember encouraging a young mama friend of mine years ago with this thought: Every five years, things shift dramatically for us mama’s.
What seems like an eternal season will certainly not be… For a season is always... temporary.
It’s hard to believe that we will be celebrating five years of marriage this summer. We’ve navigated the early stages of blending our lives together, which we have found takes more patience and nurturing than we imagined.
All the while we’ve been intentional with contemplating what life will look like down the road for us once the kids are all chasing their dreams too.
Yes, we have had to push pause on some things that we really love, because life needs us to be present with where we are right now. And life is busy!
In the meantime, we focus on maintaining what we have been entrusted with until He gives us more.
The next five years will bring so much change. Lord teach me to embrace today.
