As I read the first chapter of Melissa's book, it brought tears to my eyes reading this:
"I believe that when we are still, away from the hustle and bustle of
technology, we can feel Gods presence. It is stronger when there is no static
or interference from man-made noise. There is much we can learn from our
pioneer forefathers and mothers. I believe the first and most important
lesson is growing some sort of crop.
I dont feel its coincidence we feel closer to God while gardening. The
creator of all life, the I Am, who could have chosen any place or thing in the
world to house Adam and Eve, placed them in a garden.
He came down from heaven every night, in the cool of the evening, to
walk and visit with two people whom He loved. Just as He loves you and
me, He still comes down from heaven to walk with me in my garden."
Two years ago when I lost my job, I knew that God had something else for me; but I believe the above paragraphs are what he had for me to learn so that He could prepare me for a bout with cancer and recovery, regaining my strength, and so much more. These words really spoke to me, because they had been my experience too.
