Agrarian?
Wow...so it looks like I've missed a lot in the past few months. Although I have checked up on a few of my favorite blogs, I haven't spent much time looking around or following many links. But, after a post by Rick Saenz today regarding a new agraian blog, I started looking around. My, my, how the internet agrarian community has grown! Seriously, there look to be some very encouraging blogs that have popped up. I guess it was to be expected with the spread of broadband internet into the boonies!
I must admit, I was a little jealous of the Bradshaws garden, seeing as mine looks pretty pitiful in our backyard next to our green pool. Baby steps, right? We have gotten some decent pole beans though, and the broccoli seems to be holding steady. See in Florida we are just now getting into the summer planting season. I will be moving the bed to the side of the house for the spring garden, so I am starting to prep that. My dad also started his garden and its looking pretty good as well. Both of our families are just trying to start incorporating some of our future into our presesnt.
For those of you that don't know, my family is planning on moving onto some land with my parents in the (hopefully and prayerfully) not too distant future. So, we are trying to prepare ourselves and our families for the drastic change that I am so looking forward to. Which is one of the reasons I am taking welding at the local tech school. I need all the skills I can get.
I picture myself as a work in progress. Too often I have a vision of who I want to be, and I want to be him tomorrow. God is teaching me to slow down and learn my lessons one at a time. I see myself as a house being built...slowly. I'm in no rush any longer. I don't have to learn greek tomorrow, I don't need to know how to build a house tomorrow, I don't need to be an expert homebrewer tomorrow, but those are all things that I would still like to accomplish in God's timing.
Lord, grant me the patience and wisdom to yield to your guiding hand.
