Its that time in my life when I need to learn a few things about farming.
I could look to a number of places, obviously there is the internet, I could play Farmville on Facebook to learn the trade, or I could sit down and talk to some of my Farming uncles and receive a wealth of knowledge from their years in the fields.
Perhaps its not because I want to farm. I would like to have a small garden someday; I haven’t been back in the dirt since the cauliflower disaster of 98′ when the little green worms ate my prized vegetable.
It is about the values of farming. All I know is that farmers are consistent, persistent, steady, and they reap what they sow. They face storms, draught, and a number of other elements with the hope and faith that each year will yield some sort of harvest and fruit of their efforts.
Themes of farming can be applied to faith and relationship paradigms with God, relationships with people, and finally to life itself.
So this is the intro post. My next post will be the principles derived from farming ;;; I have to dig for them before I can write about them 
Amen Sister! Wow, you couldn’t have said it better. I’ve learned so much from my Daddy (a farmer) in areas of my relationship with the Lord by just watching Him farm and seek to serve the Lord. Also, farmers always are caring for the environment (God’s creation) and seem to be the people working the closest with His creation. That in itself is amazing because they are wonderful stewards of His creation. Wow, you hit this one right on gal! Love you!
