Today, I found peace in an unexpected place - gardening. I didn't expect to enjoy this... "hobby" ...but I gave it a try and actually enjoyed myself!
My mom and I went to the gardening store, and I got to pick out what flowers I wanted to put in my pot. There were so many options, but I managed to find some I liked (don't ask me what they are...I do believe one is a petunia, though!). After picking out all the flowers I liked, I got two pots and attempted to pour dirt in them (attempt because I got more dirt on the floor than in the pot). Then I placed the flowers in an arrangement I liked, and voila - all done. I can't wait to see them grow!
I loved finding peace in the garden and getting my mind off of circumstances and events. Instead of worrying, I focused on the beauty of God's creation and rested in His presence.
Thank You, Lord, for giving me this time of solitude and joy.
Here's Isis and I on the deck with one of my pots :)

That's such a sweet picture of you and your dog. Your flower pot turned out great. I should probably get started on that kind of stuff. Our summers are short enough as it is without getting a late start.
Claudia, what a beautiful photo of you and your dog! Your backyard looks so green. I live in Phoenix, Arizona so I'm not used to all that beautiful green color.
Gardening can be so relaxing. It's fun to see the fruits of your efforts over time. I'm glad to read that you enjoyed this.
Thank you for visiting Heart Choices. I love to meet new blogging friends and I'm so glad you're only 17 and love the Lord. I always want to encourage this next generation ...like you.
I hope you come back to visit again.
Blessings,
Debbie
