Garden update, Greenhouse progress, and a Polar Vortex
This past week has been colder than usual here with winter weather advisories, freeze warnings, and even snow in some areas of Florida… we didn’t get any snow but 10 minutes north of us had some flurries. A bit west of us got almost 10 inches of snow! I wasn’t really upset that we didn’t get any snow but the kids were a little disappointed.

Garden Updates, Greenhouse, Flower Planting, and a Pantry Challenge
Hey everyone!
How is your new year going so far? We’ve been busy as usual and trying to get as much done as we can before the summer comes… although these lower-than-normal temperatures have been making that a little difficult.
Our gardens are still going and we are so thankful for that as we have really been enjoying the food that we are getting from them. Up until a week ago we still had tomatoes and green beans… the tomatoes don’t look too happy at the moment and the green beans are a little sad too but I think they might pull through when we get past these crazy temps.

Transform Your Celebrations: Biblical vs. Traditional
Hey guys!
I don’t want to start any debates or anything but I know that I have had some feelings of conviction when it comes to certain holidays. I’ve celebrated them because that seemed like the ‘normal’ thing to do but I always had this little feeling that it wasn’t right. I didn’t realize until recently that there were a lot of other people who felt the same way.
I started doing a little more research about some of these ‘holidays’ and much of what I found didn’t sit well with me. This research led me to learn more about the Biblical Holy Days… or feasts. We’ve been incorporating more of these into our annual celebrations and leaving some of the old traditions behind. My heart feels better about these decisions even though some people don’t always agree with us. That’s Ok, we have to do what we feel led to do.
Holy Days vs Holidays
I encourage you to do some of your own research about upcoming holidays for this year as now is the time to start implementing changes and letting family or friends know about the changes you plan to make. It’s totally up to you and your family but I do encourage you to pray about these issues if you have felt convicted in any way.
Celebrating Biblical Feasts
I know we still have a lot more research to do and we are constantly learning but God will help us along this journey as long as we continue to seek His guidance through prayer.
We hope you all have a very blessed week!
This video popped up in my YouTube lists recently and I wanted to share it with you as it does touch on a few of these issues:
