Buggys

Rewind a few years to when I moved back out to help with the farm. My father had been asking me for years to come back out and help at the family farm and I told him it wasn’t time yet. I’d finally decided it was time and made the move back.

Fast forward a ways to being out here helping, we made it through a knee replacement, multiple harvests, calving and all the other day to day operations. For those of you who haven’t worked with family, it ain’t easy. It doesn’t have to be hard but at times tensions are high. I kept wondering if I made the wrong choice by moving out here because it felt like the stress was drowning me. I had heart to hearts with a cousin - shout out to you Bubs, love you dearly. He told me he didn’t know what to tell me but I needed to figure it out. I was conflicted.

One of my best friends moved back to Cheyenne and I took a day trip to go see her. We got caught up with the on goings of life and got to talking about the farm. It was a very tear filled conversation. She had told me to pray on it. Shout out to you too half pint - love you oodles. On my trip back home, I asked for a sign. I asked if I was meant to stay at the farm if He could show me a lime green vehicle and I went on my way.

A few miles down the road, I saw a white semi with a lime green trailer and though eh weird but it’s not all green. Little while later, I saw a black semi with lime green accents. I thought still not all green. Few miles later, I saw a lime green vehicle. And went okay, okay God, I’m listening. For the next 130 some miles, I saw lime green vehicles the whole way and stopped counting after 20.

Here we are current day, just starting into this seasons corn harvest. We have one truck and driver so we are renting a truck and driver through the elevator. The other day when the rent a truck crossed the cattle guard, you guessed it, it was lime green.

God whispers, or in my case yells coming back from Cheyenne, we just have to take the time to slow down and listen. The driver, Junior, gave us all ball caps and on the side was yet another God whisper.

Have a blessed day ✝️
