DAY 21 Of Reformation

Here we are into spring. A promise of new life, and fresh air!

Yesterday I spent more time in my garden. We live on a really steep hill, and I don't have much of a back yard. The apartment in our home gets the access to our back yard, we don't.
There is a huge garden but it is on a really steep slope that you almost fall off of. The builder planted huge grasses on the hill to prevent the hill washing out. Yesterday I spent an hour in the sun, trying to cut the unruly grasses. I would love to plant some veggies on the hill, but alas, I think they would fall to their death!!

Anyways, back to the promise of new life thing............................... I fell off the wagon yesterday. How disappointing!!

I have been learning about my strengths lately. I have learned that I am good at bringing order and developing things. With this strength, comes the ability to see what is not working. This is where I often fall off the wagon. It can be easy for me to see where things are not working and then think, or say judgements that I have no right to make.

God, I'm gonna need some help here!!

I need, and we need His help to keep all things in balance. What a challenge, and quite honestly, we can't do it without Him.

"I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.

Lord remind us, this spring, as we enjoy the promise of new life, and each time we look at a branch............. remind us that You are the vine...................... and we can do nothing without You.
