Come Alive

Disclaimer: I've never blogged before. But I joke around with myself in my head all the time so its like the same thing, right?

So I'm driving to Virginia to go work on a flower farm (:^D (thats Jorge) and I'm like, "Virginia, is my speed REALLY being patrolled by aircraft? Because I'm not trying to get pulled over by one of your incredibly vigilant cops." Needless to say, I was going under the speed limit anyway because my car is a PIECE.

I got an Arizona green tea for the drive (insert thumbs up emoji) because my dad used to always drink those and collect the bottles and I thought it was the coolest thing in the world for some reason. And I was listening to the new Anderson Cale album Flight, which by the way, is INCREDIBLE. It made me laugh, it made me cry, it made me pray, it made me nostalgic, but most of all it's just incredibly beautiful and timely. And like, track 3 tho....

Today was my first day working on the flower farm and already we picked ranunculus (one of my favorites), poppies, tulips, and we loaded hundreds of viburnum into a van for a delivery which was just like white puff ball heaven. My favorite.

AND GUESS WHAT!? There is a dog here. I can't even. I love dogs. And there is a HUGE orange cat, which is like essential to life. He will have to replace my big, orange cat from home for the time being (Danny if you're reading this, nobody could ever replace you). 

I have so much more I could say but I really should get to bed because I'm 85 years old and can't hardly stay up past 10pm (i'm not really 85) (and honestly I can't hardly stay up past 9:30pm).

I'll leave off with this: You know that moment when your heart comes alive? It doesn't happen often (in this sort of peaceful, purposeful way) but I think it has something to do with your heart aligning with God's plan. Know who you are, know who God is, and look for the things that make your heart come alive.

This ones for you Jared.

Goodnight and sweet, sweet dreams!
