Psalm 37;3 – Trust in the Lord and do good, Dwell in the land and feed on His faithfulness.
It’s been on my heart for a long time to start a blog – the idea just never really got fleshed out. I had a job that was very emotionally demanding and when I came home or had a day off, my priority was to recharge myself so that I would be able to cook and spend time with my husband without going crazy. I really felt like I was missing out on time with my family who lives near to us and our pets. For the last few months of 2019, I felt that it was time for me to move on from my job, but to where? I had no idea. In the last few weeks of the year, I ended up resigning after some unsavory developments in the workspace and suddenly found myself entering 2020 as a homemaker!
Let me just be honest – for as long as I can remember this was my all-time goal. To be home, investing in my family, cooking and baking, choosing to do with my time as I wish. I’ve always been a very industrious person and have always felt, in every job I’ve done or class I’ve taken, that I would thrive with the freedom to invest in my own ventures and pursue what God puts on my heart freely. I’ll tell you, now that I’ve had the chance to test out that theory myself; IT DOES NOT DISAPPOINT. I have grown immensely in the past few months and my household is flourishing because of it!!
God has been directing me back to Psalm 37 for years, and now I’m looking back again for fresh revelation… I have always loved the saying, “Bloom where you are planted,” and I believe verse 3 is the epitome of that, which is why my site is called Planted and Blooming! So, while I take advantage of this new and unique season in my life, I’ll be sharing here on this site out of the overflow, the SURPLUS of goodness that comes from dwelling in the land and feeding on God’s faithfulness.
