Sometimes we feel so small in this world, because we are. Sometimes we feel so helpless in the world, because we are. If one were to go by feelings, they would be swayed no matter the situation. Sometimes Truth is as simple as a definition, a standadard. There are a lot of people out there that believe Truth is what you believe it is, its all relative to them. But at the end of the day when you look up into the sunset, you will feel small, because you are. You, at the end of the day, will feel helpless, because you are. There will be something inside of you that says, how can I do all that I need or have to do. There is only one answer that will satisfy that question, you need Help. "I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come? My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth. He will not let your foot be moved; he who keeps you will not slumber"
Psalm 121
Its a lesson I am learning, especially considering that I am on my own, no family close by, no extra job to pay for necessities, its a case of the pioneer and the west. Make or break.
Many of you come to the blog to see what I do on the farm, and what projects I am accomplishing, but the truth is, I am but only a day away from demise, only a moment way from death, and am not garentieed my next breath. So how do I continue? How do I work at what I do and enjoy it with all the things that are there to trip me up and to knock me down and keep going? I have found what I was created to do. We have a purpose, given to us by a God who is not subject to our definition of Truth, because he is Truth-the definintion of. We cannot make our own definition, because its already been made. Just as we cannot go on and build a barn with out a measuring tape.
I just wanted to take some time out to say what was on my mind. I will go back to work now. I am going to a Farmers' Market Workshop here in springfield. Should be good.
Take care.

For some reason your post reminds me of Solomon in the book of Ecclesiastes. Chapter 2:24
"There is nothing better for a man, than that he should eat and drink, and that he should make his soul enjoy good in his labour. This also I saw, that it was from the hand of God."
When I get down or things start to look bleak, that book always helps me to start thinking correctly again. Life can be extremely difficult at times, but God is our father and loves us more than we love our own children. As a father of two it is hard for me to comprehend a love greater than what I have for my kids. We just have to keep faith and believe that God will provide for us. He always has, right?
