Yard Work

So now that is it starting to get nice outside, it is time
to start working on the yard and trying to get it under
control.

Here is Nathan trimming up a few of the bushes
in the front of our house.


Look at what a mess we are creating, but
at least the bushes will look nice and pretty
once we get them cut back to where they 
should be...



Here I am helping to trim the shrubs..



Nathan is testing the sprinkler system so we can
start watering our grass.  :)


Here is a picture of the front of our house...



Once we finished on the bushes, we decided it 
was time to move to the backyard.  I decided
that I wanted to try my hand at a raised garden.  
Here is my picture of trying to start the raised garden.


And just a few random pictures taken of the back yard.







My parents came down to visit and to do the
Idaho's Largest Yard Sale (you can see about 
that in my other post), so while they were down here
they decided to help us work on the back yard
before they headed home.

Here they are helping to level my raised garden
and Dad is helping to bring fill dirt to put around...


Discussing the best place to put everything..



In the middle of this I planted Blueberry plants
and then around the edges I rotated
Marigolds and Purple/White Petunias.


Here are my Tomato Plants...


And I thought you might like to see a few
pictures of the backyard now that we
have been working on it for a couple
weeks....



And of course, we had to take a break to just
enjoy the sunshine...



The final product after a couple hours of work...


Mom and Dad are now relaxing and enjoying
all of the hard work they did before they head home..


Thank you to Mom and Dad for helping us get the
raised garden planted and leveled.

Victory

Exodus 14:14  says "The Lord will fight for you and you shall hold your peace." When you are in the middle of a trial, it feels like it is never-ending.  Will we be able to conquer?  Will the battle plan actually work?  The devil just keeps attacking and the battle feels like it just won't stop.  Even when we know the battle plan is solid and we know what to do, it is hard.  At times, God tells us to hold our peace and He will fight the battle for us.  Do you know how hard it is to just surrender control to God?   God has been dealing with my heart lately that we need to start proclaiming the victory over all situations.  Over the sickness that we are fighting, over the stressful situations that you may be facing, just proclaim victory over your life.  We need to proclaim God's victory.  He wrote the battle plan.  He knows what your future holds.  God even understands the stress from the middle of the battlefield.

Walk with God

In my current Bible study, we are reading in Genesis.  At the beginning it is talking about how God comes down in the cool of the evening and talks with Adam and Eve.  Can you imagine that?  God literally comes and walks and talks with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden.   Then in Genesis chapter 6 verse 8 states "Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord." and then in verse 9, it ends by saying "Noah walked with God."  Think about that for a minute.   In a world where everything is going crazy and God is questioning why he made the world because there is so much evil in it that He is going to send a flood and destroy the earth.  Can you imagine the world is as evil as it gets but the Bible states "And Noah walked with God."  That is such a profound statement.  Can you say that about your life?  No matter the chaos in the world or what is happening around you, people look at your life and all they can say is "And Valerie walked ...

Impossible!!!

1 Peter 1: 7-9 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: 8 Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see  him  not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: 9 Receiving the end of your faith,  even  the salvation of  your  souls. What is your impossible situation?  What is your I need a miracle situation?  I heard these lines in a song recently and it got me to thinking about how sometimes situations in our lives seem so impossible and out of control.  We just don't know what to do about it or what to think about that situation. I read the above scripture in 1 Peter last week and it got me to thinking about how gold is refined by going through fire, diamonds are mined from deep within the earth.  We wouldn't have the beautiful jewelry and precious me...
