Well our little kid goats graduated from the garage to the great outdoors last week and they all seem quite pleased with their new living quarters. Just for the record, these babies bring us to nine goats total!!😳
Before they got moved there was a funny situation that happened…I had been out of the house for about three solid days with my grandma and her last days, meanwhile my family was holding down the fort at our house. One of those days I showed up at home to a very large, strong rubbery smelling tire and rim which had parked itself right in my living room. “What on earth is there a tire in my living room for, that’s an outdoor item?!” I both asked and declared …to which my husband sharply and simply responded, “why are there goats in my garage?”
“Oh yes fair enough” I replied sheepishly…(admittedly I wish “goatishly” was a thing because it’d make this sentence a whole lot better!!) Needless to say the goats are now outside, along with that tire that my husband had recently ordered and found the living room most appropriate to store it until he could put it to use!!
Anyway I’ll share some photos (and hopefully some videos if they load) and let those do the talking!
Psalm 34:4–5, 8I sought the LORD, and He answered me and delivered me from all my fears. Those who look to Him are radiant, and their faces shall never be ashamed. Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good! Blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him!
About For His Purpose~
My name is Alicia and I'm a thirty-something year old who loves Jesus.
Only through God’s amazing grace and mercy I have been redeemed from past regret and shame. Reading His word has allowed me to look past Satan’s forceful lies, to see myself for who Christ says I am in Him.
Through writing I have learned why I made the choices I made in my younger years and I now have a better understanding of why I desire to love God like crazy these days.
Despite my daily failures, God remains faithful always. I am reassured of His unconditional love for me by every ink-drop spilled out on paper, each committed prayer as I cry out to Him, and deep understanding reflected through reading His word as truth.
Yes keeping a blog will make me vulnerable to others’ opinions- there will be some who don’t understand, some who may criticize or judge, but on the other hand if just one piece expressed through my writing grabs someone’s attention and directs them to God, then pouring out my heart in a blog for the world to read is worth it. I choose to glorify Him alone through words streaming across a glowing screen.
And it wouldn’t be fair if I didn’t reveal the fact that I’m incredibly quirky; I’m my loving husband’s best friend, my vivacious kids’ craziest cheerleader and spiritual trainer (3 John 1:4). I love anything farmhouse and rustic style. I think cupping a warm coffee mug in the palm of my hands is more satisfying than the contents within. I share a common obsession with my husband for the mountains, but I would (without a doubt) settle for waves crashing against my legs at the Atlantic Ocean just as well, and I almost always have a Yorkie curled up on my lap while writing.

lol physically my fur kids need the most attention … emotionally and spiritually my human kids!!
5 kid goats, triplets to one mom and twins to another mama..my triplet mama isn’t the best mom material (I’ve learned) so we’ve had to intervene and bottle feed and all that jazz🤪
This is fantastic, Alicia!!!! I would just watch them all day long!!! I am encouraged there are still good things happening in the world!!! You are loved!!!
I can honestly say that there is ‘cuteness overload’ in these photos. The baby goats are just so adorable!!! Thank you for this uplifting post…It is appreciated! 🙂
