Another huge April milestone on the farm was having a mobile butcher come out and help process our very first animals. Our freezer has never been so full. One whole cow and one whole sheep 🙌🏼
We were reading a proverb a day in the October that God so undeniably guided us right to our land.
✨ On Sunday 21st October, 2024, we were guided to a road we’d never been down which had a property for sale.
✨ On Monday 22nd we contacted the real estate agent.
✨ On Tuesday 23rd we attended the very final open inspection.
✨ On Wednesday 24th, offers closed at 3pm. We submitted ours at 12pm.
✨ On that same Wednesday at 6pm we received a phone call saying “congratulations, it’s yours”.
In these whirlwind 3 days, we went straight into dreaming and planning for all the renovations we’d do. George starting sketching up plans and I started a Pinterest board… it was basically all mapped out before we even knew it was ours 🤭
The day our offer was successful and we were in full future home reno dreaming mode, we sat down that evening to read our proverb for the day.
Day 24 of the month, Proverbs 24.
Verse 27 stopped us in our tracks.
Proverbs 24:27 “Put your outdoor work in order and get your fields ready; after that, build your house.”
In a second we were instantly reminded of WHY we so deeply desired to be back on the land. It wasn’t about having a beautiful, aesthetically pleasing (instagram worthy 😉) farm house/forever home. It was ALL about being reconnected with the land, taking control of our food, and living in deeper alignment with nature and our biological design. We wanted this for us but especially for our children.
And so we shifted our energy.
We’ve been here almost 16 months now and although we’ve done some bits and pieces to the house and have some reno projects in progress, they are by far not the primary focus.
Instead, we’ve gone all in on growing/raising our own food.
We now officially eat all our own beef, lamb, eggs and dairy products and next up is all about fruit and vegetables.
And so our fields will be abundantly providing for us before we really make our home “ours” and it feels so right 🙏🏼♥️
