The Lord’s timing is never coincidence. His timing is intentional and with purpose, always.
I (Brandi) have missed Wednesday night Bible study the past few weeks because of end of school functions. We are studying Nehemiah and last night was such a heart filled reminder of never forgetting what the Lord has done in my life and for the farm.
I hope you take the time to dive in the scripture of Deuteronomy 8 and Nehemiah 9.
Guarding Against a "Full" Heart
If you spend enough time working the land, caring for livestock, and watching things grow, it’s easy to look out at a beautiful pasture and think, "Look what my hands have built."
But lately, we’ve been reflecting on two powerful chapters of Scripture that offer a beautiful, humbling gut-check for anyone who works the soil: Deuteronomy 8 and Nehemiah 9.
In Deuteronomy 8, before the people ever set foot in a land of plenty, they were given a strict warning: When you eat and are full, when you build fine houses, and when your herds and flocks multiply... do not forget the Lord your God. Don't let your heart become proud and think your own strength got you this wealth.
Centuries later, in Nehemiah 9, the people look back on their history and realize they did exactly what they were warned against. They got comfortable, they took the blessings for granted, and they forgot the Giver.
Running this pasture-raised pork farm is hard, physical work. There are early mornings, late nights, and muddy boots. But as our pastures green up and our animals thrive, we are actively choosing to pause and guard our hearts against that forgetfulness.
Every green blade of grass, every healthy animal and every ounce of strength we have to do this work, and every single loyal customer who supports our family farm—it is all a gift. We didn’t build this in our own strength; we are simply stewards of the abundance He provided.
We never want to take a single acre, a single blessing, or a single day on this farm for granted.
To everyone who partners with us on this journey by putting our pork on your family’s table: thank you for being a part of the blessing we get to experience every day. 🙌🏼
"But you shall remember the Lord your God, for it is He who is giving you power to make wealth..." — Deuteronomy 8:18
Tyler took this picture of the truck and trailer driving away the other morning. This is me finally getting the courage to take the pigs to the processor without him. I did it! I need to practice backing the trailer though 🤪
