Green Thumb

I've always wanted a garden. I never knew if my thumb would be green, purple, red, or black, but I really wanted to try my hand at growing some fruits, veggies, flowers and herbs. Well, living in an apartment poses a little bit of a problem. No yard = no garden. Or does it......?  

Check it out!  I love having my own fresh herbs at my disposal.

Parsley on the left, the struggling center is Rosemary, and the thriving right is my favorite--Basil!

Matthew and I are enjoying a lot of Caprese salads like we did in Italy!  There's so many great ways to serve tomatoes, fresh mozzerella, and basil!

As I'm crazy busy finishing up my Masters degree in the next 4 weeks, this garden is my connection to the outdoors. I miss the sun sometimes. :(

Break from the blog

As March begins, often we hope for a great thaw in our land. Now Georgia certainly doesn't have any icy soil that needs warming, but our yearning for more light and fresh newness to keep us from numbing appears universal. I have written on this blog for ten years now. From singleness to newlywed to mama of four sickly, but now active, growing boys. It's been a place for me to purge, process, and pray through some of life's biggest changes and challenges. It's also helped me keep distant family and friends informed, but I've felt for some time it's come to an appropriate place for pause. I know that I have many more mountains and valleys to travel if the Lord wills it, and many more personal lessons that I'd love to share and reread to my kiddos one day (and if anyone wants to organize and compile this little landscape into a memoir, please be my guest), but I do not ever want to assume a posture of numbness as it relates to our regular routines. I re...

Influenced

influence....... influenced. The latter word signifies a condition where someone else has an effect on your life. Taking off one little letter seems to insight a condition where you are the one acting upon the lives of others. I wish I could claim that I am rarely influenced by the opinions of others, but sadly that is not the case. If it does not go against my beliefs, principles, or well-being, I am one of those people that can easily jump on a bandwagon if presented with the material in an intelligent and legitimate manner. For that reason, I stay away from most things that can have a potential momentary or negative influence on my life. Unfortunately when it comes to little Levi, there are many different people taking care of him, and there are many different opinions regarding his current and future condition. For some reason, since the day Levi was born though, I have not searched the internet for a single thing regarding his care or condition. I believe God has protected me fro...
