"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
My absence from the blog has been lengthy because we have been B.U.S.Y.!!! Hopefully, I can portray just what we've been up to with some before and after photos, showing the progression of our farm build. In four short years we have accomplished many things and tackled many hurdles. We still have a ways to go and I'm quite certain there will be many more hurdles, but with determination and faith we will persevere!
Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you
the desires of your heart. ~ Psalm 37:4
I've written several posts here, here, and here, chronicling our progress from clearing trees, to building our home. There are some posts that never happened like clearing pastures and putting in fences. I'll introduce those phases to you through the photos in this post. I'm so glad I took so many pictures of each stage. It's amazing to look back and see the huge changes we've made!
Through it all, we give all the glory to God above, and thank Him continually for our many blessings.
For I am the Lord, your God,
who takes hold of your right hand and says to you,
Do not fear; I will help you. ~ Isaiah 41:13

We expect there will be many more changes going forward, and I will do my best to share our progress with you here.
I am also debating a name change for the blog to go along with our endeavor and our website. Not to mention, it's likely that travel will be rare once we get our cattle. So what do you think? Should I change the name of the blog to Rogers Creek Farm? Leave your comments below, please.
