This week we have spent each morning with makeup of sweat and dirt. It is a good time, even if the girl's house has their favorite song on repeat (and repeat again, again, and again). We really wish that we could use the weeds for our dinner. It might be possible to feed the whole island.
Here is Ometepe, plants grow bigger and faster. Between the heat and the rain, it is prime territory to grow. This mean that great fruits and vegetable can be grown here, as well as great weeds. CICRIN has a big garden that is utilized for cooking. We have had some great fruit a couple of times, and often has potatoes or squash from the garden. This week I got to work in it all week. We were planting watermelon, but first needed to evacuate the weeds that grow before our eyes. They can take over quickly, so we keep on them every day.
God is working on weeding in my heart too. Impatience, pride, and fear are just a few things. The master gardener he is amending my soil with patience, humility, and boldness. The temperature and moisture is great here for spiritual growth. This allows for big fruits, but also weeds. He is removing what hinders his work in my life. It is a lifelong process, but I glad he is molding my heart.
