I feel like this every moment in the pig barn, I go to the pigs and they come to me for care and attention. The barn has become my second home. Having spent my life in the presence of pigs, I have learned how they act, think and express their needs. This past week, I have walked out to the barnyard many times during the night to check on my little newborn piglets. Each life is important and I want them cared for and to get the milk they need. There were many little runts born. I helped them get milk by holding them up to their mom’s nipple. I want to do everything possible to help them. I am called to the animals. Although not every moment is perfect, the farm does has it’s tough moments and worries cross my mind because I care so much about every pig, I have learned to trust in the higher power of God who has allowed me to be born to this calling. I trust in miracles and I know as long as I am doing what I am called to do, that love, life and happiness will be a result. If I choose fear, that means I am relying on my own strength. When I rely on a power greater than me, I become fierce and life explodes. I love this message from Gabrielle Bernstein on having a spiritual relationship of your own understanding. She says when we rely on a higher power all the things you feel you are called to do become what you do because you do them in the presence of a service greater than you. I hope this helps to trust in your own life calling and do it, not only for yourself, but for others, for God’s creatures and the planet.
Remember, success isn’t easy, it’s hard work, but it pays off for you and for those who need you.
