Re: What Is Your Passion?
Farming is my passion. I love everything about the pastoral life. To see God's creation each day in every season and to be in tune to so many Bible principles- sowing and reaping, leaving those who are safe and going to find the lost, wheat and tares- this life makes His word come alive.
Life and death happen on a farm- moment by moment. Dominion over the earth is experienced as real. His attention to every detail becomes apparent in the most vivid ways while watching bees make honey or ants make hills.
His power is undeniable and our helplessness without Him is realized in thunderstorms and hail that crush new seedlings and droughts that dry up the very earth until it cracks. His mercy is apparent in the fresh start of each spring with new shoots that break the cold chilled soil and reach for the sun.
Nurturing baby animals and tender plants and helping them to live had given me a new understanding of His tender care for us.
To be able to cultivate, grow, raise, keep and care for everything that is needed to sustain life but still needing Him to fill my soul, helps me to understand my place in His plan and my value to Him and makes me love Him more than I ever imagined possible.
