God Provides

My husband got back from his shooting competition on Sunday and we have been pretty busy getting things done on the farm. Today we staked out our garden and sprayed it down with Round-up to kill all the grass and weeds. Since it is our first garden we are keeping it fairly small as to not overwhelm ourselves. In a couple weeks it will be ready to till and plant. I don't know if it's too late in the year to start this, but we are doing it now and hopefully we will learn a lot. 

I am excited to actually be getting the ball rolling on some of these projects. We have a lot of big ideas and plans but always think we don't have enough to start them, let alone complete them. Not enough time, not enough money, not enough resources. Then God sent me a little reminder. "You lack nothing. Use what I gave you." It was a quote that someone had posted on Instagram that opened my eyes. If God wants you to do something, He will give you everything you need to follow through. We feel like this farm is something that He wants us to do, for one reason or another. And we keep saying that we need more to do it. When in reality, we don't. We need to focus on what we DO have, rather than what we don't have. Yes, we don't have a job. Which means we don't have a steady income. But you know what we do have? Unlimited time and a whole shed full of materials for various projects. I believe I mentioned that we were able to score some free lumber a few weeks ago. There are a few projects that we can make and it won't cost us a dime. A local Ranch recently got a whole new garden set up, so they gave my neighbors all of their material they used before. So we have access to way more stacking pots and clay pellets than we could ever use. God is literally handing us what we need to get started. We are so blessed.

Naaman came home from town today with a fig tree. We have been talking about starting an orchard, but are still undecided as to where we want it or how big. And since this is the first tree we decided to just put it next to the house. When it starts producing figs I am going to have to figure out different ways to cook with them. What do ya'll like to do with fresh figs?
