Mark 4:1-20
At different times in life, we are all different kinds of people. At age 14, I was the second example, where the seed was sown, but I wasn't ready and had no roots. Then for years after, I was the barren rocky path, no chance for the seed to take root.
But God kept putting me in the life of people who had more seeds. Many a seed was wasted on me, but I think all that time, those friends and people were softening my hardened ground.
Then, without even my knowing, I was sent/placed in a position where all the prepping and ground work that had been done, making my soil ripe and ready to receive the seeds, and I was ready receive the gift.
And here I am now, ready for the next steps in my journey.
About Me
- Diana
- Reno
- The blog title says all there is to say about my philosophy on life, Life Is Good.
I have a wonderful husband. Mark and I were high school sweet hearts and married 20 years after we broke off our first engagement with each other. Some things are meant to be.
I was blessed with two kids from my first husband, Chuck. Josh is 23 and Alison is 19. I loved them when they were little and I've loved watching them grow up. They're pretty much adults now, but they still need and still love their mom. After losing their dad when they were too young (age 12 and 8), they've come out the other side as amazing people that I'm proud to know (and claim as MINE!) I also have a beautiful grandson, Kingsley, who of course grows more amazing every day.
I have solid group of rock climbing friends. Sheila, Joseph, Danny, Dave, Hans, Romy ... and others you may read me talk about.
I have a job that I work from home. I have enough of everything I need in the world.
Indeed - Life is Good

Diana,
I think we ALL go through times in our lives when we feel (and ARE) more fertile or barren. I also think this continues, even after we make a choice to accept Christ, which is why it's so important to have good solid friends (fellow vines/trees) helping to hold us up sometimes.
I'm really glad you started this blog. Who knows, maybe it will inspire ME to step out of my safety zone and do the same. :)
Hugs and Love,
Rachel
ps-Don't forget, you help keep others fertile, too. :-)
