The other day I said to Marc that I thought I would have made a good farmer. I love to plant and watch things grow. I would love to have a huge garden. I can even see myself driving one of those depression era tractors. The kind that doesn't have a top or air conditioning. And then I said, well I guess I will just plant more herbs in my herb garden.
God has given each of us a place of ministry. I like to call it my field. Each field has particular characteristics such as what is planted best in the soil, and if it is sunny or shady, and where the boundaries are. Fields in New England are bordered by stone walls. Fields in Texas are bordered by barbed wire. What are the boundaries of the field for you? For myself, I am called to minister in Oklahoma and in particular in Western Oklahoma. That is my field. So where are you called to plant, water, and reap a harvest? Think about it....
And think about how only God gives the harvest. I have my huge starter garden that I am a little embarassed to say how much I spent to get my one $142.00 zucchini squash. But then I have my corn is as high as an elephant's eye corn crop that is almost as tall as the first roof line and I spent 50 cents on that packet of seeds and didn't even use a trowel just shoved the seeds in the dirt. Love that lesson about planting. Right place, Right soil, Right moisture, Right wind and rain and you have a ministry, I mean a cornfield! HA! love it! This is Pastor Susan saying if you plant it they will come!
