God and The Garden
Devotional

I have had a moment of “Eureka”! When I am physically at my slowest, my brain works overtime and I am overflowing with ideas. This evening, at the end of a frigid 2-mile walk with my two faithful companions, I realized that I could begin a woman’s devotional of my own! It was as if the Lord spoke to me in an audible voice and suddenly I felt empowered and filled with joy and inspiration! We will see how long it lasts, of course, since all great inspirations start out with a burst of energy and then we get into it and the time it takes to create the actual project is a lot like work! I have to laugh at myself. Anyway, the idea began as a beautiful book that is full of color pictures of God’s creation and embedded with God’s inspiring Word.
There is a point, I think, in everyone’s life when they are growing or about to grow and they feel stuck. Wrapped up tight and even strangled by your own skin! That is the point from which I begin this book. I will warn you that I am far from a finished work in this Creators hand and I don’t apologize for it because whatever joy, pain, anguish, stumbling blocks, friendships or growth I may experience is where the Holy Spirit meets me and I share with you.
My title; “God and The Garden”, combines my two passions; my love of Jesus Christ and my love of gardening. Trade has blessed me blessed with the responsibility of creating spaces for people to really enjoy and partake in God’s creation. Sometimes I even have the privilege of introducing the two and seeing childlike joy born! It is important that I listen to people and what they may or may not be saying with regard to their homes. I create unique, individualized spaces for people to reconnect with God and their inner child by building their spaces with plant accents and surroundings.
Now, as we begin, please note that our invitation to explore the Creation has never been withdrawn. Our Lord desires that we find a quiet place to meet Him and have a chat. A time when we can pour out our hearts and listen to His hearts desires for us.Take my hand and let’s go sit in the garden together. Find your quiet nook and let the peacefulness of His Creation wash away your wordly dust. Listen to the birds, the peeper frogs, crickets, a squirrel chirping away and take a deep breath of the sweetness of the garden air. Sit with me and let’s see where He takes us and how He would like to speak to your heart.
