Hello friends! Happy Sunday! Here is Sunday's verse. The summer is more than half over, and I have spent too much time staying indoors complaining about the heat and the bugs. It probably doesn't come as a big surprise to you that I am not a huge outdoorsy person. If I could spend all my days inside decorating and redecorating, I would. Lol.
That said, I got outside yesterday (mostly) on account of the fact that my internet was ridiculously sloooow and causing my youtube video to freeze up mid upload. My son, being the tech- ier one (he's 12 ð) suggested I hike up the trail behind the house where there's a hill and see if it might upload better up there. So off I went. Next thing I know, my husband is following me in his old tractor, wondering what I'm up to. Lol. So I went to the top of the hill, found a rock, and set my phone on it, hoping a raccoon or squirrel wouldn't walk away with it. ð (after I create a video, I send it to my main phone for faster upload)
While waiting for my phone to upload yesterday's video, I found some really wonderful black raspberries and a couple of red ones, too. It was refreshing getting out in the fresh air. I checked on my little garden. I don't have a whole lot in it- but it's my first try, and I just used some seeds I had around the house. I expected nothing to grow as I have very little faith in my gardening abilities, but so far, I have some peas, some squash, zucchini and corn. By corn I mean- singular. Only one stalk grew from the seeds I planted. My husband laughs when I jokingly ask him every day how my corn is doing... as if I have a field of it. It's okay looking, and should grow a cob. Lol. Can't wait to see. I'll keep you posted about my "corn crop."ðĪŠ My green peppers didn't come up at all- which was a bummer. I love fresh green pepper in a salad. I don't know what I did wrong- but as I say, it's my first try at gardening. I used those non hybrid seeds. Maybe that was the problem, or perhaps an animal ate the seeds. ??
This week, I'm challenging myself to spend more time outdoors, and I hope you will find time to as well. It can truly lift a person's mood, and as Anne of Green Gables would say.. "There's so much more scope for the imagination."
I apologize for my babbling on like this, but I have been awake since 1:30 last night as I couldn't go back to sleep. When I start quoting, dear Anne, I know I must be tired and should probably wrap this up. But I made it to church this morning- so that's the main thing.
As always, if you have any prayer requests, please free to drop them below. I always pray for the requests throughout the week as God brings them to my mind, and I know other believers looking on pray as well. Prayer is powerful! It truly is a direct line to the throne of Christ. He promises to hear the prayers of his people. I hope you all have a wonderful week! Take care ~ Rachel ð― ðââŽïļðð
