Thanksgiving Week Update, Enjoying The Shepherd
Thanksgiving is by FAR my most favorite holiday. It is a day of simply enjoying friends and family around some food. No pressure on gifts or who has on the best clothes. Just a time to enjoy each other and time spent together. It is also a great time of reflection. This week alone has been one filled with things to be thankful for. So many people have blessed me and my family this week. Like when the Enemy crept into our home this week and stirred up division in our house, we
Enjoying The Shepherd: Update for 11/16/17
It is always a refreshing moment when you remember that this walk with Jesus as our Good Shepherd is a journey. So many times it is easy to get wrapped up in the wish that I was completely transformed and sanctified RIGHT NOW!

I am grateful he is kind and patient, and that he never gives up on his goal of ma
If I am honest . . .
Today I have been pondering reality. A reality that if I am honest, I prefer not to face.

This is a tough one to face, but if I am being honest, I think it would sound a lot like this: "Hey God, how you doing buddy? You k
Enjoy the Shepherd: Update 11/10/17
Yes, it has been another exciting week here at Namrac Farms. God continues to amaze us and bless us with his kindness. Every day is a gift God has given us. God has allowed several "tough" situations to arise recently which have allowed us to draw in closer to Him. These situations allow us to live what we are preaching. They are also allowing us to learn more fully who we are in Christ Jesus. I have just finished reading two books simultaneously. One is "Draw the Circle" by
Updates (and a little more)
Updates on Enjoy the Shepherd Wow,
Can you believe it has been over a year and a half since God set Enjoy the Shepherd in motion. I honestly never thought I would ever be blessed to be invited into so many lives to share stories of God's love through lessons from sheep. Never in my wildest dreams did I see myself writing a book, much less books. I never expected the reactions to the videos, the emails, the messages, the letters, and the encouragement and prayers that would
