#232…Winter, Spring, Sprinter

 

I am soooo ready to play out in my flower plots but it is sooo cold out there! Trees are blossoming…flowers everywhere and still we are in the deep freeze. The garden has been plowed, thank you Terry Goforth, the seeds are waiting and here I sit.

Next week, hub side-kick is instructed to load up the trailer and go to Moffets to get mulch. Would be nice to get on top of the weeds before they come up. My fall drastic cleanup has paid off and all looks well. Small details to worry about. The iron bed has to be moved before the tree is cut down…Then my beautiful shade garden will be in all sun. Why would I expect my life to be perfect? Did I mention there are considerations for 2 more trees to come down?

You know for the 1st time forever that my house is COMPLETELY SIMULTANEOUSLY clean!…after the dust bomb…including the basement…whereas 3 men will spend 8 hours next week replacing the heat pump and all the wiring. Life is definitely not perfect.

So shortly will come a crew to remove walls and rebuild our living room…should I expect sawdust? All I can say is that I am enjoying my house now. I will turn my head and work outside and enjoy God’s outdoors. Maybe I will stay on course this summer. Maybe not. I know God’s in control and I have to lay this anxiety at the cross and plant the vegetables and maybe even do a little bit of canning this year.

OK LORD, when everything seems perfect in life, there are always complications around the corner…I need to trust in YOU in all things!  Thank you for giving your own Son, Jesus, to hang on a cross and pay the penalty for my sins. Lord, please send your Holy Spirit to my children to draw them into your kingdom with love. I give thanks for my life and all my blessings. You are a mighty God!
