It's time to start "planting" in my garden blog, and I was having a hard time deciding where to begin. There are so many flowers on my list, how do I choose which one to plant first. I prayed and asked for guidance. I believe this project is meant to be encouraging and uplifting and I anticipate that the Lord will lead me to specific friends who could really use that the day their name is picked and planted. Since Santina is going through a trying time, having just had an appendectomy, it seemed only natural to plant her in my garden today, so I'm pulling on my garden gloves and preparing the soil.
Santina is a leader in the youth group at our church. I asked my son to tell me few nice or fun things about Santina since he spends more time around her than I do. The first thing he said was that she has a good sense of humor, which I already knew. He said that he thought it was really funny the night at youth group that they were sharing the highs and lows of their week and she said that her low was getting engaged, but it was only funny because everyone knew that it couldn't be farther from the truth. I really enjoyed the creativity of her costume for the youth group Christmas party in 2008. She and Carol dressed as Whos, I saw the pictures. They were so cute! Besides being funny and cute I can see plainly that Santina is a loyal friend. Her devotion to Jon is inspiring. I hope that the young girls that she works with in youth group will follow her example in their relationships. Santina and Jon will be married this September and it will be a day of great celebration. They have shown a great deal of patience which is a quality sorely lacking in our world today. I wish them joy unending in their life together. Feel better soon Santina, in life's garden you are a flower and you have a lot of blooming yet to do!
