Plans still in the making

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
Jeremiah 29:11
I know God is in control. Sometimes I just wish I would listen better and know what He wants me to do. Sometimes I just get too wrapped up in the EARTHLY things, and do not equate where I am here on earth with What I am to do for God's Kingdom in my present circumstances. I know I am not doing what He wants right now. I think this is ridiculous on my part since he has given me every opportunity to hear Him.

Why Lord am I not listening to you right now? Help me to hear what your plans for us are. I need direction. And I am not hearing what You are saying to me. Open my ears! I love You, and want to be obedient to You!


Rambling thoughts:



We are now down to two Shetlands, and about 15 chickens of various breeds, and two Aussies. Micah and Micaiah have a little puppy, Rella, and my girl is Lillie.


Sheep will be our next venture. As soon as we get their barn built, and we have plenty of hay stored for them. These are the breeds I am considering:


1. Babydoll and regular Southdowns
I want these because they are the first sheep I was ever around, and as a little girl, I simply loved our Southdown flock. especially the old ram. He would protect me from the younger, more aggressive ram.


2. Icelandic
These sheep are so cool looking, and they are a Multi purpose, dairy meat, and wool breed. Everything all in one package.











3. Jacob
These sheep are also cool looking, with between two and three pairs of horns. They are a wool breed.














4. Mini Cheviot
This Scottish border breed is, like the babydolls, the original size of the Cheviot, and I have always like the looks of the Cheviot. They are a dual purpose breed.




5. St. Croix

This hair sheep is a meat breed. They are really going to be interesting to raise.











6. Finnsheep

they are meet sheep and are very prolific having twins and triplets and even sometimes have litters of 4 to 6. They produce a lean, succulant meat with a light delicate flavor.






7. Scottish Blackface
These are a dual purpose sheep too, and I just think they look pretty.










Still planning to get Lowline Angus when I get my cattle. I found out the reason they are called Lowlines is that in Australia, they were doing an experiment trying to see if the larger framed or the smaller framed Angus were more productive, and the larger framed herd they called Highlines and the smaller herd they called Lowlines I guess the middle sized hered were Middle line??? anyway They are actually just purebred or full blooded Angus in the smaller pakcage, actually just like the cattle we raised back in the 1960's. So like the sheep, I m wanting to raise what I did when I was a small child.
