Nothing big. Nothing grand. Why did I even plant it?
These are the questions that go through my head everyday. What are you gonna do with a bushel of potatoes and 5 carrots? You could just go to the store and buy it. Less work, less money....
Why do we do this to ourselves? Why do we let that voice hold us back from starting something new? Every year I want to plant a garden but I am not as experienced as those YouTubers. I don't know all the tricks of the trade. But I am starting and maybe I will enjoy it. Maybe I will learn something. Maybe I can grow my garden and myself?
We all start somewhere. What are you doing this summer that makes you feel like a beginner?
If making soap is on that list, I can help. Sometimes going online can feel overwhelming. We have so much knowledge right at our finger tips that it actually holds us back.
I am fascinated about how soap was originally found and used (more on that tomorrow). But if soap has been around for 1000's of years it can't be that hard to make. Right?
Right! You just have to start. Start basic, learn the skill. Where will you be in 10 years?
"Don't worry about anything, instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank Him for all He has done. Then you will experience God's peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus."
Philippians 4:6&7 (NLT)
