Sorry for the wait and sorry for the mess

 Sorry for the delay in posts.

[Wordpress won't let me indent my paragraphs]Summer is getting closer, and we are prepping for the busy season. So far this year is going better than last year. My seedlings were a FAIL again this year, very dissapointing and embarrassing. But the greens, carrots, beets and peas growing in the greenhouse are doing well.  The apple crop is promising. I plan on working the blueberry farm this year too, with Julie gone we are missing a valuable person (in more ways than one, we miss you Julie!), so, I probably wouldn’t be able to do as good of a job as she does but, I plan on helping in anyway I can, (how, about I use, more commas, in this sentence,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,can’t you see that I am not good with grammer and that I must be an idiot? [sarcasm] Oh well, my blog, my voice).

I’m expanding my blog to Youtube, I am FromSuburbToCountry1 here is my first video.

 

I am taking requests I already have a few ideas.

Carrots, Eggs, or Coffee?

Grandmother says… Carrots, Eggs, or Coffee; “Which are you?” A young woman went to her grandmother and told her about her life and how things were so hard fo…r her. She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed as one problem was solved a new one arose. Her grandmother took her to the kitchen. She filled three pots with water. In the first, she placed carrots, in the second she placed eggs and the last she placed ground coffee beans. She let them sit and boil without saying a word. In about twenty minutes she turned off the burners. She fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. She pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl. Then she ladled the coffee out and placed it in a bowl. Turning to her granddaughter, she asked, “Tell me what do you see?” “Carrots, eggs, and coffee,” she replied. She brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted that they got soft.She then asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard-boiled egg. Finally, she asked her to sip the coffee. The granddaughter smiled, as she tasted its rich aroma. The granddaughter then asked. “What’s the point,grandmother?” Her grandmother explained that each of these objects had faced the same adversity–boiling water–but each reacted differently. The carrot went in strong, hard and unrelenting. However after being subjected to the boiling water, it softened and became weak. The egg had been fragile. Its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior. But, after sitting through the boiling water, its inside became hardened. The ground coffee beans were unique, however. After they were in the boiling water they had changed the water. “Which are you?” she asked her granddaughter. “When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond? Are you a carrot, an egg, or a coffee bean?” Think of this: Which am I? Am I the carrot that seems strong, but with pain and adversity, do I wilt and become soft and lose my strength? Am I the egg that starts with a malleable heart, but changes with the heat? Did I have a fluid spirit, but after a death, a breakup, a financial hardship or some other trial, have I become hardened and stiff? Does my shell look the same, but on the inside am I bitter and tough with a stiff spirit and a hardened heart? Or am I like the coffee bean? The bean actually changes the hot water, the very circumstance that brings the pain. When the water gets hot, it releases the fragrance and flavor. If you are like the bean, when things are at their worst, you get better and change the situation around you. When the hours are the darkest and trials are their greatest do you elevate to another level? —AUTHOR UNKNOWN

God Cares

Okay, I’m done living these lies, I refuse to live in bondage.

 

God does care about what I put into my body

God does care about how I take care of my body

God does care about how I keep my home

The list goes on!

God does care! He cares! He cares about so many things in my life!

Here is a turning point. I’m making changes finally.

I will not live in bondage wishing that I could change.

Sorry the post is so short, more at a later time.

Look Familiar?

Yep…I’m back to my original blog layout. I changed the name to something less of a mouthful to something that fits the current season in my life. There will probably be more changes coming soon as well.
