Truth be told, I am quite new to the gardening world. We had lived on five acres of land for several years before I realized how valuable that resource was. Granted, I had two babies and a major family crisis that preoccupied me during those years. Once the cloud of infancy and survival mode started to lift, I truly began seeing the value and blessing we had in our land. So, how did I proceed? Head first. I wasted no time starting a flower business. That was a mere three years ago.
Welcome to Walls Crumbling Down. Jesus makes all things new. Learning how to start a farm/flower business and becoming more sustainable has taught me that it takes so much work and dedication to make things new. It is hard. It is exhausting. It is absolutely wonderful. One of the wonders I got to experience just a couple of days ago, was the hummingbird. I was watering some pumpkin plants and honestly kind of zoning out. Then I saw a flash of blue hovering around the plants. It was a hummingbird. Apparently, a very thirsty one. It played in the water sprinkles and drank water drops running off the pumpkin leaves. What a delight it was to create a little water bath for this bird.
The walls may come crumbling down, but Jesus makes all things new. I may never have had this moment if I hadn’t followed the Lord’s call in my life and really “dug” into the compacted clay soil or the beliefs I was clinging too.
“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.” Isaiah 43:18-19, NIV
