Hello! I'm still shooting to have baked goods out in the stand for you all tomorrow (Friday, May 29th) at 4pm!
However...and this is a big, kinda long winded however...so please bare with me. I won't be doing any sourdough this week. I also might be completely overshooting my menu and might not be able to deliver on everything I've listed but I'm going to try so so hard.
My knee still isn't doing great. It is better than it was but not 100%. And I just keep pushing myself because it's who I am.
I had an appointment yesterday regarding my knee. I hyperextended it and the doctor said I need to be babying it a bit more than I am...more consistent with icing it and working on getting the inflammation to stay down. If it doesn't get better in a couple weeks, I'll need physical therapy.
I'm so frustrated with how this farmstand season is starting for me especially with the way last season started. I hate to be so inconsistent. I also will always prioritize my family before my desires and they have also had a lot going on.
So as much as I am pushing through to share my passion with you, I might not always be able to be as consistent as I want to be.
And as I was praying about that, God revealed to me that it's ok. I don't need to be one of these perfectly portrayed farmstands. They all have sleepless nights, messy kitchens after the end of a bake day and stressed out moments as they race to get things finished, struggle to get their labels right, or their bakes just don't turn out. And so do all of you. In your day to day lives, whatever it is that you do...you have bad days, you have bad moments. You get tired and overwhelmed.
God doesn't promise us easy. He doesn't promise that we will be spared from trials. But he does promise that we are not alone in them.
So I won't promise you perfection. But I will promise you communication over the real and the raw. Because there is a beauty in it and I'm ready to encompass it. I'm ready to find joy in the junk!
If you made it this far, thank you! Leave a 🎂 emoji. My birthday is Saturday and I'll draw one of you to get a free treat from the stand!
