God, I am here for Your benefit, for Your glory, for Your name to be praised.  Whatever You may bring about in this life, may it be for my growth in Your Spirit, through Your Son, for Your glory.  I pray that my life would be an display of Your love, mercy, grace, forgiveness, peace, patience, long-suffering, perseverance, truth, and hope; not for my glory but for the One who lives inside me and through me.  This heart, which You have freed from bondage and rescued from death, may You abide in it and live through it, strengthen it, and call it home.  "Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s." (1 Cor. 6: 19-20)

Look how her garden grows!

It's been a while my friends, but while I've been busy at work my little garden has been flourishing.  Due to my garden consultant, Carrie Dunn, it has been properly pruned and maintained.  I have been able to harvest radishes, strawberries, basil, and soon lettuce and string beans! Below you will see some highlights from this week.

In order to grow in my gardening skills I began attending edible gardening classes at Roger's Garden and have been learning all sorts of interesting things...ie. there are no organic pesticides to kill grasshoppers...great...and that I will have to "breed"/"mate" my corn crop (good thing I have two!--don't want to have incestuous corn).

I'm currently taking suggestions and requests for fall and winter growth.
