A Garden Update: Worship and Solarization

 I wish I could be updating you all on all my awesome veggies in my garden, but I can't, because there isn't one! This year, I had high hopes for having a successful veggie garden. Then as 2011 came to an end and 2012 began, life got much busier, and I found myself having to re-prioritize. And that's okay. 

  For a long time I had been asking God to give me a hobby I could be passionate and excited about; a way I could worship Him through my creativity. Kevin worships through writing music, and I have friends who worship through painting and even baking. Praise God for that, right? But none of those things ever spoke out to me when I tried them. Then, God in all His love and grace, placed the desire to garden on my heart. It was no coincidence that we moved into a house with a big garden plot in the backyard around the same time.It felt so good digging my hands in the dirt. I loved having that time to connect with the Creator of all things, and I still do.

Dreaming of...Gardens!

Here are a few snapshots from the Myriad Botanical Gardens in OKC. Isn't is such a pretty place? The Crystal Bridge is a-mazing inside! It costs maybe 5 or 6 bucks to get in, but it's absolutely lovely (if you're into looking at plants and all). We didn't go in this time around because I'm pretty sure T and B could care less about looking at plants.

And how beautiful are those raised beds in that last picture? Someday, you will be mine, raised beds!

Have a wonderful Wednesday! Be a blessing to someone today!
