I took the little turks out to the farm and put them in with the big bad chickens last Saturday night. They all got along surprisingly well. A little bit of pecking, but not bad. When I went back out on Wednesday night, one little turkey poult was missing! Oh my! I searched everywhere, with my heart pounding. Finally decided to count the chickens and see if any of them were gone. I turned the flashlight on them and as they disbanded, there was my little poult right in the midst of them! All comfortable and warm! I was so relieved. Well, I couldn't reisist. I have 22 eggs in the bator again. It is just so fun and exciting. I am addicted! This time a woman in a nearby town graciously penned her Delaware chickens for me for a few days and I am incubating the eggs for me and a friend I met on Homesteading Today. I candled them yesterday (day 7) and they look like at least 14 are good, viable eggs. Maybe more. The Delawares are my choice of chicken after researching the different breeds, but the Deli owner had a BEAUTIFUL Indian Game rooster that I just fell in love with! I want one of those also! They are Dark Cornish chickens, so I wonder if they are a meat bird? Might be good to have a few of those.... I just got a new recipe for chicken pot pie yesterday... hmmmm.... The foundation was supposed to be poured for my home this week, but the rainy weather delayed it. I have determined within myself to allow the Lord to be the Lord of my life, and allow Him to bring me the peace I need to flow with this whole ordeal. I cannot change things, only learn to have peace in my heart trusting Him to bring all things together for me - or at least allow me peace thru the turmoil. I don't want a $25K credit card bill and a half built home on my plate, but I will not allow my heart and mind to stress so much that I cannot enjoy the most beautiful gift I have been given. My country home! I've had a Country Heart all my life, and now my country home is a reality. I shouldn't be allowing all this stress to ruin my fun and excitement. I will have a home! I wll honor the Lord in the meantime. Father, please help me to keep you first and foremost in my mind. To keep the blood of Jesus and His death and resurrection front and center in my thoughts. Help me to trust thru the stressful times, that You love me and have only the best in store for me. You are good, You are strong, You are mine. I love You, I serve You, and I bow to You. Amen.
