People That Come Into Your Life

Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there, to serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson, or to help you figure out who you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people may be (possibly your roommate, neighbor, co-worker, longest friend, lover, or even a complete stranger) but when you lock eyes with them, you know at that very moment that they will affect your life in some profound way.

Some people come into our lives and quickly go.
Some people move our souls to dance.
They awaken us to new understanding with the passing whisper of their wisdom. 

Some people make the sky more beautiful to gaze upon. They stay in our lives for awhile, leave footprints in our hearts, and we are never, ever the same.
And sometimes things happen to you that may seem horrible, painful, and unfair at first, but in reflection you find that without overcoming those obstacles you would have never realized your potential, strength, willpower, or heart. 

Everything happens for a reason, nothing happens by chance or by means of luck. Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness, and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul. 

Without these small tests, whatever they may be, life would be like a smoothly paved, straight flat road to nowhere. It would be safe and comfortable, but dull and utterly pointless. The people you meet who affect your life, and the success and downfalls you experience help to create who you become.

Even the bad experiences can be learned from. In fact, they are probably the most poignant and important ones.

If someone hurts you, betrays you, or breaks your heart, FORGIVE them, for they have helped you learn about TRUST and the importance of being cautious when you open your heart. If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally, not only because they love you, but because in a way, they are teaching you to love and how to open your heart and eyes to things.

Make every day count!! Appreciate every moment and take from those moments everything that you possibly can for you may never be able to experience it again. 

Talk to people that you have never talked to before, and actually listen. Let yourself fall in love, break free, and set your sights high. Say, "I love you" to your friends, family and those who are special to you...for you never know when life will end.

Hold your head up because you have every right to. Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself; for if you don't believe in yourself, it will be hard for others to believe in you.

You can make of your life anything you wish. Create your own life then go out and live it with absolutely no regrets.

The Steadfast Love of God

As my family embarks on a new chapter in our life life, our faith and love for God has never been stronger.   Moving to Plymouth, Indiana in 1994 was an exciting year not only because of a new sister on the way, but a new chapter of life my family would be starting. Settling into my great-grandparent's house and farm we began a journey raising dairy cattle.   We knew that this journey would be filled with joys and sorrows, laughter and tears, heartache and pride yet we continued to begin this journey.   Sixteen years later, living through a tornado, deaths of cattle, riding the milk price roller coaster and watching feed prices sky rocket and hit bottom, this fun, wild and blessed dream my parents had been living for sixteen years was coming to an end for a number of reasons.  As the tears of sadness fell as cows and heifers were loaded on trailers heading to their new homes, we knew that the love and passion we had for these beautiful bovine creatures did n...

Heaven Sent

From spaghetti ice cream, the worlds largest boar to the numerous questions about dairy cows from consumers and the public sharing what you know about your animals happens at no greater place than the Indiana State Fair. A few weeks ago, I spent six days at the state fair, myself along with many other exhibitors of dairy cattle get to be reminded each day of why we do what we do.  We are quizzed by the public on our knowledge of our animals, receive some questions we never would dream of being asked and having the opportunity to brighten a child's day when allowing them to pet a cow. The late nights and early mornings sometimes cause stress between families and show crews, but at the end of the day and the time we spend at the fair, we do it all for one reason. That reason is shown through our care and passion that we have for these bovine creatures. Each year, I look forward to the state fair. Not only for the new friends I make, but the communication that I am able to perfo...

Food for Thought

The Culver Young Farmers provided their Farmer’s Share Breakfast, Saturday April 3, 2010 at the First United Methodist Church in Plymouth.   A very small cost of, $.49, to enjoy a hot and satisfying breakfast was served to approximately 200 people Saturday morning.   The breakfast was held to educate the community on the price difference of commodities from the producer to the retailer.   The low-priced cost of, $.49, is the amount the farmer earns for the sausage, scrambled eggs, toast, potatoes, and biscuits and gravy that was served at the breakfast.   The rest of the money that consumers pay to purchase their groceries at the store goes to the middle man and the retailer, not all to the producer. Not only did many community guests attend this breakfast, but Congressman, Joe Donnelly, State Representative, Nancy Dembowski   and State Senator, Ed Charbonneau were also in attendance.   “ F armers feed us. With that , our world is expecting to double its...
