I love my flowers. Ever since my husband and and I bought our first home in VA beach, I began an appreciation these little gifts from God. It was an older house with a well established yard. So many beautiful blossoms… that a desire grew to care for them.
After 33 years of marriage I’ve completely taken over our yard maintenance. Planting, trimming, mowing, cultivating – this is my happy place and each flower is precious. I learn new lessons every season. God speaks to me through His nature.
He reminds me: He’s the Ultimate Creator… there’s a time for everything under heaven… harsh pruning is sometimes necessary… there IS life after death… God is faithful… and like my mom always said, ”bloom where you’re planted”…
This morning as my last iris stood brightly by itself, God encouraged me that even when it feels like I am standing alone for godly principles – I have a great cloud of witnesses watching me, there are many Saints world-wide also taking a stand, and of course God is close upholding us.
“Look at the lilies and how they grow… if God cares so wonderfully for flowers that are here today and gone tomorrow, He will certainly care for you.” Luke 12:28
Saints, we are not alone in this crazy time. We stand together as the Bride, and as heaven cheers us on. Be brave, be strong, be true. Let us glorify His Name- in Jesus!

so is my darling among the maidens.
