hello??

i don't think i had ever been away from my blog for this long.

everything has been so busy lately and unfortunately, blogging got the short end of the stick.

there has been so much going on lately, all good.

God is good. always.

how could i have lived so long not believing that.

well, to be honest, believing that for others, but not for me.

do any of you struggle with that feeling of not being worthy?

of not deserving his amazing love and grace?

that miracles are for others who believe but not for you, 

and not for a girl like me?

that's what i believed. 

i did. it is not a good feeling.

through prayer, fellowship with good friends who love God, prayer warriors,

women of faith all placed in my path by God 

because of them i can freely embrace my identity in christ.

i know what the word says about me. 

i will no longer fall prey to the lies i once believed, 

as long as i keep reaching out to the one who holds me in his hand.

i am no longer who i used to be a year ago...

god has been working in my life chiseling, refining me, to be who he has called me to be.

i am like a flower...it's my time to bloom.

i am like a caterpillar undergoing metamorphosis in it's cocoon,

ready to soon burst open and enjoy my new wings...a new creation in Christ.

only Christ has the power to work miracles in your life.

do you believe that?
believe with all your heart

"For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified..."
Romans 10:10

thank you for visiting and stopping by

good friday

good friday!

today we spent the day in the backyard getting down and dirty.

 it all started with a trip to Lowe's to buy plants

 for the garden boxes hubby made for me. 

he usually builds something for me when he is on spring break, i don't mind at all.

he loves me like that :)

 it was a family affair. number two got new garden gloves and helped me with the planting.

max was curious sniffing the new plants.

i hope he doesn't take a liking to them.

hubby and number one worked on digging holes to transplant some of the overgrown bougainvillea.

 we planted edibles: strawberries, red and yellow bell peppers, serrano peppers, and tomatoes.

i am going to experiment and try to make a tomato topiary using this form.

here i planted red onions, green onions, cilantro, basil, sage, and carrots by request of number 1.

 this is the first time i attempt growing my own veggies, we are excited to harvest our own food.

i was so happy to find this beauty.

my first bloom this year from the climbing eden we planted last summer.

you can read about it here

my backyard is slowly evolving into my personal garden of eden, my happy place.

a new addition to my collection of succulents, it is called "cobweb".

of course it wouldn't have been a family affair without this guy running around with his favorite ball.

wishing you and yours a very happy easter.

every plant that my heavenly father has not planted will be pulled up by the roots.
