With prayer and desire in our hearts for the Lord's WILL we made an offer on this three acres in Idaho the day before departing. Driving through Oregon we received a message that our offer had been accepted!
We have so many DREAMS for this land~ GARDENS. horses. WRAP AROUND PORCH. trees. ALPACAS. vineyard. POND. trout stocked. GREENHOUSE. flowers. CHERRY APPLE PEACH TREES. pool. SHEEP and GOATS. chickens. BUSY WORKING HANDS. we want to live off the rich land of this valley. GROW LAVENDER. make goat cheese. FORM SOAP. knead and bake bread. EAT FRESH EGGS. have a barn. WITH A RIDE ON MOWER INSIDE. and a fire pit outside.
It will be sometime before we build, this is just a beginning.
Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty.
...They go down by the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for them.
He sendeth the springs into the valleys, which run among the hills.
By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, which sing among the branches.
He watereth the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works.
He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth;
And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man's heart.
The trees of the LORD are full of sap; which he hath planted; Where the birds make their nests.
Psalm 104
Bend, OR was the first place we could stop to fax one additional page that needed our signatures.
