Well, Im not exactly sure just how to do this step, but here goes............
Its funny, cuz for the first time in my life I have started a garden of my own in my little apt. back yard. I have strawberries, black berries, and a pumpkin patch that does not grow pumpkins . I also have several flowers, one of which is poppies, and I have never been able to grow poppies before, Ive tried, but this time they are blooming the best!! All of the seeds and flowers were given to me by two of my friends..
And I also have stepping stones, some of which I took from my old house, (with hubby) some I bought new, and one from my daughter who made it for me in elementary school oh and I have an elephant that my mom gave me for my birthday, and 2 flower pots that Marcus , my son, made for me in elementary school..but I have no flowers in those yet.
Anyway.. so as I ponder on the garden in my back yard, I now need to ponder on the garden in my mind.
I have always hated to pull weeds, I guess I feel the same about the weeds in my mind. Here are some of the biggest ones that I know exist....impatience (hey isnt that a flower? ) anger..and ummmmm....whats the opposite of humility? that one! Im sure as i journey further, and keep my heart open to God, I will find other weeds in there that I was not aware of......... yuk
So....... I do have lots of Christian music.. if I play that will all those bad weeds go away?
I guess I have some work to do....
I will be pulling some weeds in my mind as well as in my garden outside this summer....
Lord help me!!!!

! I hope the music helps I like the analogy there with summer weeding and the mind

hi crzy,
Way to go for identifying those weeds. It is hard working on both gardens. To bad you cant just put down black plastic and kill all the weeds. But you only get out of it what you put into it, So keep up the hard work. I look forward to traveling along this journey with ya.

God Bless
