Well, this morning's milking was very frusterating! I am really trying to be patient but it is beginning to seem like Abbey is just being cantankerous. This morning she would not hold still for anything, she pooed and peed and I ended up only getting a little over a quart of milk in an hour and a half!! I'm all over it now but I hope tonight goes better. I am hoping when I get my hobble for her that will help a lot. We shall see..
I did successfully make cottage cheese today..yippee! That kind of made up for the bad morning..it is delicious! Thanks Tammy for the recipe. My next endeavor will be mozzarella cheese, my husband is looking forward to that.
Oh, I found out some great news Friday! My calf, Adam, who I thought would not be registrable with the American Miniature Jersey Association is! I can use him for breeding..I am VERY excited about that! I guess they changed the rules and broadened the requirements because of the scarcity of the breed..good for me! Thank you Lord. I love you Lord for changing my life in this drastic way...even when I get frustrated. I just love you, PERIOD!! What an awesome God that would love humanity SO much that you would come to this earth in flesh form to pay for our sins!
I observe God's true Sabbath, Saturday, and someone told me that I could not milk my cow on Saturday..well, I thought about and prayed and I know that we have a common sense God. No animals or people are supposed to do any hard labor on God's Holy Day but I would not consider that work for her, or for me. So..I decided the responsible thing to do would be to relieve her on Saturday. It's funny how people, even christians, think you are some kind of weirdo when you just obey what the Bible says. They say..that's Jewish or..that was "nailed to the cross". No..it was not. Jesus observed the Sabbath all of his life, his disciples observed the Sabbath. It's funny(odd)to me that the only commandment we seem to forget is the only one that starts with "Remember"! Also, in Isaiah it says that we will observe the Sabbath when Jesus returns to rule over this earth. If you get rid of all preconceived ideas about the Sabbath and do a true open minded study on it in the Bible like I did, any one would come to the same conclusion. I am not perfect and I do not always do just as I am suppose to but..I do want to please God and OBEY God...even if that means going against the grain and having family members and friends think I am "off track". I don't call it legalism, I call it obedience.
Well, I guess I will get off my soap box now and go take a nap..God Bless! :)
