WOW!!! This is for me today! Thank you for taking the time to encourage ME!!!

First year milking my 🐐 ❤️ I absolutely love the whole process.

You look much better. Keep resting and praying. You are strong.

I’m watching your vlog and came across a quote that may pertain to you…”not all storms come to disrupt, sometimes a storm comes to clear a path”♥️take care and heal up dear🫶

Hi Jill, I really enjoyed your story of your mason jar cover. It made me think back to when my husband and I were first starting out. After we had been dating a while we decided we would each start saving our money to buy a house because we knew we did not want to live in an apartment when we moved out of each of our parents' homes. While we were saving money to buy a house we were also buying and storing everything that we would need for our home. One day he came to pick me up from my parents house and was showing me a set of dishes he bought without me. Now mind you we were buying things from stores that were going out of business or yard sales or anything inexpensive that we could afford (this was 40 years ago) he was so excited about these dishes it was an eight place setting and it had everything plates bowls cup saucers and even serving dishes. We got back to his parents house and he showed them to me and I thought they were the ugliest thing I'd ever laid my eyes on. The pattern on them were blue onions which to this day they are still known as the blue onion dishes. I really did not like them at all but I did not say a word to him at that time. They had came from a store going out of business and there was no taking them back and they were affordable for us. Fast forward through us buying our first house, getting married, having two babies, selling then buying our second home and coming to know the Lord. We still had the blue onion dishes and I started praying to be able to replace them with some pretty dishes. I didn't have anything in mind. Well I finally got dishes that I thought were beautiful and I thought what am I going to do with these ugly blue onion dishes. I decided to pack them up and wait until our kids grew up and moved and I would divide them between the two of them because I had raised them telling them to never despise humble beginnings. Those blue onion dishes are part of my humble beginnings. Humble beginnings and humbling experiences I think are where we do our most growing as a person or a couple. I think the same is true of tough times. Just like our bodies use weights or resistance bands when we work out to build muscle humble beginnings and tough times are workouts for our minds, bodies and souls. When I look back on those times I wouldn't trade them for the world. Thank you so much for making me think back to them wonderful times. Know that my family and I are and have been praying for you.

What a great message to share, sometimes we do need to slow down to take time to appreciate what we have and reflect💕

Americana and lavender orphingtons lay blue and green eggs and are on the friendlier side for chickens Praying for you for speedy recovery and for good results

You are looking much better!!

Continued prayers for your recovery prayers for Nathan and the girls as well. You’ve got this Jill!

Wishing you a speedy recovery, sweetie. God bless

Oh Jill that was so beautiful and so so true. Sending prayers and blessings.

You already have a great source in Jessica. She seams to know a great deal about goats. It would be nice to see you two together again.

Try watching The Cottage Fairy. Her videos are calming and inspirational

Blue Cactus Dairy Goats is a fantastic KZfaq channel in everything you need to know in having dairy goats. Theyvhave taught me so much & helped me build confidence

Continue to feel better Jill. Those zeppoles came out perfect. Now I have to make a batch.

LOL Nathan, you are such a Dad. "Let me taste yours to make sure it's good too" ROFLOL

Keeping you in my prayers, Jill.

I get you, Jill. The waiting and longing is sweet. The reality of life’s purpose is magnified, and the peace of God comes along where the world around us cannot reach.

When I was 15 I stood on the side of a swimming pool and said one day I am going to have this. Humble beginnings and struggles through life but I made it. 50 years later I was able to put in that pool - paid cash. Now my grown children and grands are able to make memories with G-Momma and her pool. Never forget your dreams or where you came from. Love your channel and you.

Glad to see you up ! 🙏

Keeping you covered in prayers for peace and total healing

I think it is good to see you up and about. You'll probably appreciate the rest all the more. Thanks for sharing.

I long for the day I have chickens of my own, a dream that seems so far away and so impossible to get to some days, praying for your health and peace of mind Jill 🥰

You’re a very smart little girl. God does allow, not put things on us🙏🙏. Blessings

Happy to see you up...prayed,still praying for you with my daughter in Kenya.Love from Kenya.

I’m sending prayers for a speedy recovery and for the patience to take the time for proper healing. I know it’s difficult, but you got this girl! As for the colorful egg layers, I have the Whiting True Green, Amauracna and the copper marans and have been extremely happy. One thing to note is the copper Marans are the broodiest birds I have ever had.

Rest when you can Feel better soon ❤️🙏😘

We have the whiting true blues and the birds themselves are really pretty also

The Whiting true blues are great layers

Good morning Jill, I understand what your saying I totally had to do the same thing, then back to rest. Take care continue praying for you!!!

I used to struggle with accepting help too, Jill. And then someone helped me realize it's a gift to them as much as it is me. You know how good it feels to help others. By accepting help from others, you can bless them with those same feelings. If their love language is acts of service, like mine is, then it is a bonding experience for your kids and husband. Allow them to love on you. It will be so good for everyone's mental health as you heal. All will be well soon 💚

God has you ever in His hands…🙏🏽🙏🏽

Blessings!!!🤗💗💟

You should contact Jeff with Groovy Eggs previously known as Bobblehead Homestead. He lives in Arkansas and has all the breeds you mentioned. He is disabled starting his own hatching business.

Sending continued prayers, take it one day at a time !

Jill, You are looking so much better. When you have those bits of energy do some little something. It leads to mental and emotional healing because it gives you a sense of normalcy. Physically, if you do a little more each day without over doing, it will help you feel physically stronger which in turn helps with give your mental and emotional state another boost. Have Nate can dump a load of dried towels on your sofa. You sit and fold the towels and he can put them away. Then you can feel productive even though you are not over tasking yourself. Continued healing prays for you as the Lord lifts you and your family in his loving spirit. - Rhonda

Zeppoles made with potato water is our family Christmas Eve tradition. It is delicious topped with honey!

We used to have bantam chickens...the eggs are perfect for recipes that call for 1/2 egg. Just something to consider...get well soon.

So glad you’re feeling better!

Happy to see you up and moving around! I get that rest is essential ive been where you are ! But staying in bed being a productive person will drive your spirit into craziness!!!!! Continued prayer for healing and make sure you're getting enough vit E to help heal

Great to see you up and moving around. Slowly but surely is always wise. Continued prayers for your complete recovery. 🙏🏼🙏🏼Thanks for the video ❤️❤️

That’s the spirit! Keep moving 👏. Good to see you up and about!! You got this!

Just finished watching your video…..God is amazing. He has taken your sweet dear soul to use to witness about His goodness. When I am weak THEN I am strong….strong in His power and His glory to share and testify about His goodness through it all. I think about a song, Through it all, through it all my eyes are on you…….and it is well with my soul. You in your most weakest physical moment have become so powerful and strong for Him. ❤

i agree. you need to keep your mind active, as long as you are wise. Thank you for the encouraging words. Much needed! Bless you! I pray you have a swift recovery.

"I Still Remember When I Prayed For The Blessing I Have Today" I pray I never forget what God has done for me!!

They look delicious and it’s lovely to see you smile 💕

Great video keep resting God bless you and your amazing family

Amen Jill! Praying for you Jill…

After my second cesarian, I can totally relate. Sometimes getting up on your feet and pushing juuuuust a bit helps. The mind and the body. And bless you for listening and not pushing too far. Love seeing you finding the new (but temporary) balance of rest vs. movement ♥️ hang in there girlie! You are doing aaaaa-may-ZING!!!

You are making good choices Jill. Recovery takes alot out of you,must force yourself to rest , taking 20 minutes and baking is taking care of yourself.. You will be way more better quickly if you smile and do what you can .. thank you for making sourdough.

Hey Jill, I'm glad to se that you are recovering, and up and about.

Love the reflection. Sometimes we need a little nudge from God.😊 Glad to see you getting around slowly and steadily. Thanks for sharing this recipe looks amazing. Keep getting better. 💝

Welsummers for dark and speckled, Black Copper Marans for the dark chocolate brown, Cream Legbars and Ameracauna for the blues!

These look so good. Need to give them a try. Praying for a quick recovery.

Looks great. Praying for you . God Bless.

PS What a great and honest story. This too shall pass.

Listen to the word rest

Zepolles are like smallest begnettes. We love them

I've been continuing to pray that you return to good health soon. Thanks for the video, Jill, and continue to listen to your body, please.

Please take care of yourself. It will get better. Just remember slow and steady wins the race. Continued prayers for healing

So glad to see you are feeling better and in good spirits. I did not see the book linked below. I really want to get back I to doing sourdough soon. :)

I just found you today. Simply amazingly beautiful person you are. Our kitchens are similar or our style is at least. And I love that you share your faith. Girllll it’s we have many many days and it fills us. Remembering where we came from always brings me to tears. Have a super blessed day!

Glad to see you up and about. Prayers for you’all, continue!

Abide in sweet Jesus, fall back into his arms and let him heal you sweet girl. Prayers!!!

Love your measuring 😁🙏🏻🙏🏻. Prayers you continue healing.

Video is humble all over it…reminds me of the scripture “your strength is made perfect in my weakness” Gods grace is sufficient…He will give you the desires of your heart…

🙋🏼‍♀️🕊. Sweetheart 💕. You really have to understand ! 🤷‍♀️ 💕You Have ! To take care of your self for the Next three Months!! 💕I use a rolling desk chair in the kitchen…..It helps to stay off your feet. . If you don’t take care ……. Thing could get complicated !!! 💕🕊💕🕊💕🕊

I'm glad to see you getting better and Zeppoles sound yummy! I'm going to have to make some. Love that you named your sourdough starter haha. So awesome. Thank you for being you Jill. You're awesome and so inspiring! Continued prayers!

Praying 🙏🏻 💞 🥖

It is so good to see you up and around and in better spirits. You are in my prayers. Keep taking it easy and continue to listen to your body. God Bless! Carmen

I understand wanting to be productive. I think its awesome you are using the platform you've been placed on to be real and encouraging. I believe that's why the Lord put you where you are because you stay humble and acknowledge Him in all things. I appreciate that and that's why I continue to watch you. :)

Good for you self care and knowing yourself and what makes you happy is very important.

Not being one to sit, I can totally understand your situation. This IS a good time to do some relaxing things like reading, watching KZfaq. I had a total shoulder replacement 8/3...my birthday & have been having a rough time not over doing it. Prayers you recover soon.
