So if you have seen our garden or flowers anytime recently - you would note that they are droopy.....and well to say this politely- DYING! The bad part is this summer they looked fantastic. They were beautiful. They had tons of flowers, growing wonderfully...produced enough cucumbers & tomatoes in our garden to supply the camp.
BUT- when you don't water your garden or your flowers for ohhhhh say a month- or well you know more than a month........and there for some reason this year in SW Louisiana- has been very very very little rain.........it is not a good mixture!
This reminds me sooo much of our lives. We go through periods of dryness, a wilderness time..... Then we turn our hearts back to OUR SUPPLY and just like that.....we find ourselves starting to come back to LIFE. To a LIFE IN HIM!
My prayer for all of you....and myself is TO LET THE RAIN REFRESH YOUR HEARTS!!!!
My mind set is so new right now....really fresh. I love it. It is like falling in love again.....seeing scripture in a new way. WANTING to really study. WANTING to spend as much time as I can IN HIM! WANTING to really push myself to grow IN HIM!
***Thank you for those who responded about the baby girl :) The agency said they have received lots of interest- YEAH!!!! You guys are the best :)
Great post - so true! I think it's so important to make sure we keep close to the Lord - my daily devotions time is my lifeline!
ReplyDeleteAs for the rain - well we've had so much wish we could send some to you guys! After 10 years of drought in this area, we are rejoicing in full dams & beautiful crops!
Awesome post and oh so true! Thanks! We need some rain here also....I think it has been at least that long since I have watered...my poor neglected plants :0(
ReplyDeleteOn a side note... my husband and I just inquired about a little boy in your state that is up for adoption through the foster care system. I am sure our chances are slim since we are out of state and we haven't been foster parents for that long....we are still excited about the possibility though :0)
Very true... grass should not CRUNCH when walked on!!!!
ReplyDeleteHis peace is amazing. Let it rain!!!!
