What Are You Growing
A gentleman gave my husband a baggie containing cantaloupe seeds. This man's cantaloupe are so, so sweet, but the critter issues we have on our property and a broken sprinkler system may be a detriment to a successful harvest at Shiloh.
God provides the sun and sometimes the rain, but my plants never do as well as my friends, because I never take the time to fertilize and buy good potting soil. The effort needed to see plants grow and flourish just isn't in me. Do you know where I am going with this?
For us to grow spiritually we have to be willing to put in the needed time and effort. While corporate worship is a commandment and Sunday worship is a boost to our week, it's a minimal amount of care being given to our spiritual growth.
The summer slack off is easy. I lead a church connect group on Monday mornings, but not in the summer because of summer guests. For 22 years I led Monday evening women's Bible study throughout the summer, but not this year because I am a bit weary from the pain. Maybe God is directing me to nurture and grow my own faith this summer. I am embarking on a 31 day study of Proverbs, including learning how to pray Proverbs.
Stay tuned, I will be sprinkling some of my new growth on Boojoyful.blogspot.
