Summer Project: Stage Three

Right now I am laying on my couch...my body is screaming at me...but I have a beautifully weeded garden! 

I know it's been a while, but I've been super busy with school, and at one point I thought for sure I was going to lose my garden. Alas! Everything is coming into full bloom and looking gorgeous!

Today I went out and did some much needed weeding, tore out some pesky vines, loosened up the soil, and doused everything in Miracle Grow! 

Now that it's all done...and I'm laying on the couch dead tired...
here's some pictures :)


 Left to Right: Summer squash, green beans, lettuce, cabbage. All the way in the back is sugar snap peas and carrots!


Left to right: Roma tomatoes, pear tomatoes, broccoli, brussel sprouts, cherry tomatoes, and way in the corner of the picture is cubanelle peppers and zucchini


Yay for gardening!!!

Thursdays

I'm pretty sure Thursday has always been my favorite day of the week.

1 Corinthians 6:12

All things are lawful unto me, 
but all things are not expedient:
all things are lawful for me,
but I will not be brought under the power of any.

This was the last scripture Bro. Paul read last night at the end of service. Such a powerful revelation of who I am in God. I know I definitely need more confidence in that area...but it's coming :)

Have a blessed Thursday friends! <3

It's been a while friend...

Hi there :)

It's been a while, has it not? It's a lot harder to think of interesting things to blog about when school is on my mind so much.
But because it has been a while, I have a few things I can share. 

First of all, today I got a call at 3:30 a.m. to tell me that a very dear friend and sister of mine was in labor to have her first baby girl! I spent the morning with my niece so my sister-in-law could be with her sister while she delivered that new life into this big world. It was pretty fun explaining to Aubrie that the baby was coming :))

Secondly, school has been quite the journey this past few weeks. Very stressful, which I still haven't mastered how to handle that well, but in the end, my wonderful family was there to pick up the pieces and encourage me to keep pressing on.
The class that most of my classmates (including myself) are failing, has finally begun to turn around after some prayer and an e-mail to my professor. So please keep me in your prayers as I work to bring my grade up! God is so good and ever willing to help me!

My family is in Texas for two weeks....which I do not like because I didn't get to go. My dear grandparents are out there and it burns in my heart so much that I can't be there with them all. But, good news has come back to me that they are all doing very well!

My garden is looking very nice, and I am so happy about that. All of my seedlings are getting pretty big, and I bought a few bigger plants to fill in the gaps of the seedlings. 
I think my favorite thing in there, so far, is my sugar snap peas. My dad and I planted the seeds together and they are now about six inches tall and have those little curly projections reaching out to find the post to grow upward! 


 Sugar snap peas!
Herbs
(I'll have to get an updated picture today because everything is so much bigger from when I took this picture!!!)

It's so exiting to watch things grow. There is a lot of growth going on around me. Plants, babies, people, myself spiritually. That's what I love most about this time of year. God makes everything grow so beautifully. 

Well dear friends, thanks for reading. Sorry it has been so long since I last posted. I hope this finds you all doing so well. 
God bless you and enjoy this beautiful day God has given us!
(In the words of Aubriella this morning..."It's time to get up Aunt Bo! It's a new day!")

Oh, good morning :)

I just want to thank the Lord for this beautiful day and for helping me tackle my anesthesia math homework AND be in bed before midnight last night.

My God is so mindful. Even though my human body can't handle the school workload...My God can.

And I'm so thankful.

Just some thoughts this morning.

I hope you all have a great day! 

"Bring all your needs to the alter,
Bring al your needs to the Lord,
He is so willing and able to help you,
So bring all your needs to the Lord."

My Anchor

Just want to say that I love the Lord and am so thankful for all He has done for me.
So glad the anchor is still holding me no matter how dark and confusing the world gets. My God is not the author of confusion.

You must believe that God is separate from the world and that some of the things we see in it are contrary to His will- C. S. Lewis


The anchor holds,
Though the ship is battered,
The anchor holds, 
In spite of the storm
I have fallen on my knees,
As I faced the raging seas,
The anchor holds,
In spite of the storm
