This Is What I See When Looking Out My Kitchen Window, What Do You See.

I do love surrounding myself with beauty in Nature. Not the best picture because of the window screen interference but nevertheless still a welcome sight to see when I look out the window. Did you know that the carnations and all the other flowers in this planter, I grew from seeds and not a plant I purchased @ a nursery. Do you find opportunities to surround yourself with the hidden treasures God gives to us through nature? See, maybe 2 years ago it was just potting soil in a planter before I took the chance of planting carnations. I had several grow in a few different containers, but they just never really bloomed for me and then during cold weather they did not make it back to life in the Spring. Except the few in this planter, they did and for 2 seasons now I get to see the fruit that comes forth because I took a chance and planted them from seeds. I love the scent for it smells like clover when you cut one and bring it inside. The only thing with doing that is I am taking away from the window view. See the other flowers, I don't know their names, but the hummingbirds enjoy nectar from them. I think when I bought that seed packet it was geared towards attracting hummingbirds.

Is there something that just maybe you don't have the courage to step out and step away from the loudly speaking voices/controlling voices in ministry but deep down inside you know that if you only mustered up the courage to step away from those presumptuous speaking people you would find true freedom? Let me encourage you to step away and gain freedom that maybe you so easily gave away your voice to. Do not let others try to run your life and ministry you worked so very diligently to build up through the years. Those loud, abrasive supposed well-meaning people can only take over your ministry dreams if you allow them to. Step away and back into freedom okay.

I took a chance on taking simple potting soil mixed with nutrients and a packet or two of flower seeds and look what came forth. The lesson learned, what good is the vision inside of me if I did not take action to make it grow forth. Oh, it does come with a cost also. Watering and giving Miracle-Gro, and most important, protecting them from the harsh elements at times in the Winter months. Was it worth it, yes because the effort put into their future brought forth a beautiful delight when I look out the window. Don't be weak but the more you take back the authority in your ministry the stronger you will grow with each step running back to total freedom.
