planted by God…

Hi there friends…

Once again, I’ve lost track with blogging but I figured it would be a good time to catch you guys up on our story.

Drew is staying busy (and sunburnt) at the marina.  I am staying busy with school and I am counting down the days until graduation in Decemeber!  We are both loving life and spending time with one another.  Our recent hobby that we have acquired is gardening and we are pretty good at it, too.  Drew has always loved to plant.  Our kitchen garden would show you that.  We recently bought a blueberry bush that is quickly producing beautiful blueberries. We, also, spruced up our front garden with some beautiful flowers and plants.  Gardening is so rewarding.  I love watching the seeds that we planted grow into beautiful plants.  I, also, love tending to the plants and watering them.  It is such a relaxing, enjoyable hobby that Drew and I share together.

Gardening reminds me so much of what God does for us.  We, as His children, are little seeds that He plants and tends to.  Through our spiritual journey, we grow into these sprouting plants that depend on the nutrients from God and that grow as we are “fed”.  The past few weeks, this analogy has really came to life for me.  Through some difficult situations, I felt lost and as though I was wilting.   I was worried about things that I should not have been worried about and I became filled with stress.  Luckily, I was reminded that I still have God who will tend to me and take care of me if I allow Him to do so.   After some encouragement from dear friends and of course, my husband,  some truth finding through God’s word, and some time to think and process, I started to grow and become alive, again.  It was all God.  God is by our sides, always.  Through the journey over the past few weeks, I have become hopeful and joyful through God and His words.   He has our stories all planned out, beginning to end, and I have found so much comfort in that.  He is my everything. Without his “water” and “nutrients”, I would be much like a wilted flower.

Through Him, all things are possible.  Through Him, there is a light at the end of the tunnel.  Through Him, I can find joy and hope. Through Him, I am filled with peace today.  Through Him, I am whole.

“Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers letting God know your concerns.  Before you know it, a sense of God’s wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down”   -Philippians 4:6-7

Until next time, friends.
