The Thistle

 

Beautiful lavender with a spikey head of thorns. A team of nature lovers was dispatched to rid the California state park of this intruder, considered to be "invasive," not native. They chopped, ripped, and hacked. The next season the thistle came back in flush because the work meant for destroying had instead spread the seeds much more by dislodging them.

Joseph said to his brothers, 

"You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives." 

Genesis 50:20

Recovering and Moving

Thank you for praying as I continue to recover physically, and also as we are preparing to move into a house!

A field nearby that reminds me of God's loving care.

"If God so clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will He clothe you, you of little faith?" 

Luke 12:28

House!

God has provided so faithfully for us since our house burned down a little over a year ago. 

As I've been recovering from surgery, my mom has been looking for a place for us.

We now thank God for a house! 

After repairs and furniture shopping, we hope to move in early May.

Surgery update

 I praise God and thank you for your prayer! 

I'll share more when I'm feeling a bit better, but I just wanted to say that my surgery went well! 

And here are a few pictures of the cat, who seems to be in recovery with me...
