It is week three of the Homegrown Garden Project 2012 and everything has officially broken ground. This is what my sweet little cucumber looks like this morning:
It may seem corny to you, but sometimes I just like to sit a look at what is going on in this little garden we have created. Although our hands placed the seeds in the soil and we have to water them to grow, it is awesome to really think about what is going on during the growth process. My mind then wanders to how amazing (and hard, I know) it would be to live somewhere like this and experience new growth in a huge way. I am going to totally dork out right now, but that makes my heart flutter....
told ya I was going to be a dork. I am SURE it is painfully hard to have and work on a farm and the amount of determination and faith along with blood, sweat and tears is huge, but the rewards would be so....abundant.
The word ABUNDANT leads me to another piece I created based on words printed on the inside cover flap of the book "Only You Can Be You" which is an upcoming women's summer study that I would LOVE for you to come to with me...
and speaking of discovering the ABUNDANT life God designed for each one of us, I am so excited and proud of my dear friend Mel and all of the amazing things she and her posse are creating in Idaho at the new Brave Girls ranch. Mel and her entire family have truly found their purpose, planted the seeds that are part of their mission and their dreams are growing and living..ABUNDANTLY. This also makes my heart flutter and I do not feel like a dork saying that! I look forward to making my way up there later this summer to spend some quiet time with Melody & Kathy to experience new growth for myself...creatively, mentally and spiritually (Oh, and PHYSICALLY as I told Mel this morning that I am a way better helper than guest, so I will be there to work...and rest)
Today, I want to encourage you to ask GOD to show you what HE has designed for you...it is good..it really is.
Is there a book you are using for this class that I might be able to get? I live in AZ so cannot attend but would love to do the study on my own if available.
