You can be okay
even when you don’t feel okay
because who you are
is not how you are.
Your heart can kind break more times than you can count
which only means
your heart has been made into abundantly more.
This can be your story — even when things aren’t okay:
How to be okay even when things aren’t okay
Can’t thank @qideas and @gabelyons for sharing this
The words “Agriculture is the foundation of manufacture and commerce” are written across the official USDA seal, but farming is not what most people think of when talking about successful business. A century and a half ago, 90% of Americans were farmers. Today, that number is 2%.
What has happened to farming in our Industrial Age? Farms may be struggling in modern America, but with the growing organic market and a renewed interest in agrarianism and localism, is there a creative way forward for farmers?

on repeat this week: Build my life
…yeah, sometimes it’s bafflingly hard to know how to live through the stuff we’re facing & it’s crazy easy to just want Someone to hand us a map, a way, through everything.
So maybe this is it: 1. no matter what, 2. all the time, 3. no matter what happens, just these three things, because He says this is the way He wants us to live today:
“(1) Be cheerful — no matter what;
(2) pray — all the time;
(3) thank God — no matter what happens.
This is the way God wants you who belong to Christ Jesus to live.” 1Thess5:18
This. is. the. way. God. wants. us. to. live.
There’s your map through right now — because this way leads you closer to His heart.
Being intentional about being 1.Cheerful, 2. Prayerful & 3. Thankful — keeps the day from unintentionally becoming 4. Awful.
Unless we are intentional about giving God glory throughout the day,
our days *unintentionally* give way to grumbling.
[excerpted from our little Facebook family … come join us each day?]
That’s all for this weekend, friends.
Go slow. Be God-struck. Grant grace. Live Truth.
Give Thanks. Love well. Re – joy, re- joy, ‘re- joys’ again
