It’s such a lovely time of year. Flaming June has actually
been warm so far, some days, which is such a blessing. We’ve got the veggie
patch dug and Don has dug in the local farmer’s cow manure and he’s planted
potatoes. Today I found a place for a row of carrots and planted a couple rows
of very tiny seedling lettuce.
It all looks great, the rows darkened by the water I
carefully drizzled over the fledgling plants.
In a few weeks time, whether or not flaming June continues
to flame, it will be transformed. Not only will the carrots and lettuce have
grown, hopefully: unless I am vigilant, they will be obscured by a jungle of
weeds.
I’ve come back from Cherish bubbling with ideas and
challenges, inspired and ready to live life on the edge for Jesus. My desire is
like those fledgling lettuce, fragile and delicate, but bolstered by Jesus’
strength flowing through me I know it’s possible for the desire to grow
stronger and bigger and give nourishment to others. It doesn’t need to get lost
in a jungle of activity.
Fan into flame, whether it’s June or not...
