If you knew me you would know I have a dreamers heart. Today it is raining, its cold and there is not much else to do other then clean. Here I am, In a 700 square foot apartment and I am dreaming of wide open spaces. A little house with room for children and guest. Land to grow a garden on it and a stream for the kids to play in during the summer. I want to live in a small town, where I can learn all the peoples names, my children will grow up playing in the woods and horse riding, and I can be part of a church family. I want to live from my animals and land. I want to cook breakfast lunch and dinner for my family. I want television to be something we do once a week to watch a movie and otherwise not know. No more frozen food or canned food unless we planted it and canned it or froze it. I want to have an income that allows my husband and I to work together. I want to earn enough revenue to pay off peoples debts. I want to be like Jesus, a Debt canceler. I want to help my family retire without struggling for everything they have. I want to invite friends to live with us on our land and teach them how to work with it. I want to go on three month mission trips every year with my family, Or live over seas as missionaries. So with all this dreaming I decided to do some research and found what I want to grow and what kind of animals I want to raise. This is a short list and I am sure we will add to it but here is the starter list to my dream.
