Update and Seasonal Gardening Blog
Hi Hi Hi!
Work has been a little busy since I have been trying to incorporate my gradschool IAP work in with my workplace. And it is going quite well! I have actually started designing a cost benefit analysis on herbicides with the hope of opening up the pine forest for red-cockaded woodpeckers, which I am hoping may be publishable research someday.
That aside, I have been able to catch up on some personal things, like finally going to the doctor about my cyst and turned ankle (from Mongolia), and I even ordered some new glasses after heading into the city of Savannah for an appointment. I did enjoy the mini-vacation that the trip turned into.
Lastly, I have been seeking counsel from a few Godly people who have, without knowing, confirmed what the other has advised. Despite being called to be an intercessor (a call I got long ago but finally agreed to do recently during my visit to Korea), I am actually in a season where I cannot contend and pray in the way I want. I think to myself that I need to spend so much time in disciplined structured prayer and scripture meditation. But honestly, I need to just sit and soak in the presence of God. I have been trying that lately and powerful prayer (though it doesn't look or feel like it in the natural) comes out of that. I have found that there is so much power in praising God not for what He has done, but for who He is...which is one thing I have been doing in that "soaking" time. I asked God to meet me in new ways...so...you get what you ask for.
My fall class begins in a few weeks, so I am trying to keep up my website that I designed for the class from last spring. I make a quick blog on it about planting in season, so if you want to check that out: http://critchey1.wixsite.com/sustainablegardening/single-post/2016/08/02/Planting-in-Season
Things are really starting to turn up. And I am so very very glad about that.
