Troyer Family Farm: 2016

The past month or so, Bo and I have had a spiritual awakening/revival in our home. So many things have been revealed to us and it feels like a veil has literally been pulled off of our eyes. For many years we have believed things because that is what our parents, school, church has taught us and we just never questioned it. I implore you not to do that anymore. I urge you to begin to research what you believe IN SCRIPTURE. God’s word says to test everything against scripture. Every holiday, every tradition that you think is true, every lie that you have easily bought into because of that’s just the way it’s always been done. I believe that we are near a time of tribulation that we have never experienced before. Our world is out of control and continuing to lose its foundation faster than we can keep up with. Bo and I have never felt an urge so strongly to study and search the scriptures more than ever so that we can teach our children about Truth so that the enemy cannot deceive them like the Bible says so many of the elect will be. We have been on our knees in prayer and petition to the Lord that He would protect them from the evil one, Satan, and his angels. That the Lord’s Angels would put a host around our home and property and each of their lives, that His Holy Spirit would fill us each day and we can be the kind of witnesses we need to be to our children and to those we come in contact with. If you are not in the word like you should be, I pray that this warning causes you to begin to search for Truth and understanding and wisdom for yourselves. I pray that you begin to become on fire for His ways, His Spirit, His wisdom. I pray that my generation begins to rise up. I pray that you do not sit idly anymore. Do not be lukewarm. Do not let the enemy deceive you.

We do not pretend to know it all, there is so much more to understand...but we will continue to search and pray and watch.

Thank you for your time and ear.

Love each of you dearly.

With every faith test, I feel my belief in the God of miracles grows. He has done things in this short life of mine that cannot be explained. It is only by the power of God. It has not only deepened my relationship with Him, but deepened my worship of Him.

A little over 2 months ago, my daughter Arabella, was playing with my oldest son while I was getting ready to kick a ball around at my 4 year old's soccer practice. One second she was bouncing a basketball, and the next second she was screaming for me. I ran over and realized her finger was pinched in a basketball bin. I opened it and I about passed out right there. Her fingertip literally fell over. I'm not very good with blood at all, so I screamed for the coach, who happens to be our children's pastor at church and great friend of mine. He grabbed her and went to find something to wrap it in to contain the bleeding. The other coach, who happens to also go to my church and is a Kentucky State Policeman and kind of like the Kentucky SWAT version of police, raced to his car and grabbed his EMT bag. They then jumped in his vehicle, flicked on the lights, and rushed her to the nearest ER. By the time I got there, they had contacted UK Children's Pediatric ER and were getting ready to transfer her. She and I rode in an ambulance to get the best care we could have hoped for. Once at the ER, they surgically reattached her finger and told us that there was a 50/50 chance for the finger to survive. A week later, we went to her follow-up appointment and realized it was not going to reattach. The Dr. thought it best to wait it out and use the black finger as a natural bandaid over the raw flesh under the dead finger. A month later, he was satisfied that it was ready for another surgery. Before the surgery, we had many people praying and believing that God was doing a miracle. Every Dr. we talked to just knew they would be doing a skin graft and there would be no nail because she had ripped the nail bed completely out. 30 minutes later, the surgeon came to find us and said all they did was give her a couple stitches at the top of her finger and stitched on a small piece of plastic to the front of the NAIL GROWING IN THE RIGHT PLACE to protect it in case it was brittle. We went home in awe, wonder and amazement at the goodness of God.

I had to write this, not only as a testimony to look at for myself, but as a testimony to the amazing power of God. It is clearly His working and His goodness. God cares about the smallest things...even a tiny little fingernail of a sweet 2 year old baby girl. He cares about a sad momma's heart. He cares about every detail of our lives. Yet, He is so enormous that these huge moments to us are so tiny in comparison to His greatness. My worship time with Him is so rich right now. I cannot stop praising Him for what He's done. I am believing for more miracles and I know that I know that I know NOTHING is impossible for the God of miracles.

Thank you to so many who prayed for her.
