The following is a list of how I'm attempting to "grow where I'm planted." I'm learning how to 1) manage my household more efficiently 2) take one day at a time 3) trust God (this is definitely a slow process).

Grow Where You Are Planted
I've been really struggling with the fact that I'm not employed. Today my mom offered excellent advice when she stated, "Grow where you are planted."

We pray that all that visit walk away with a little something. Hopefully at least a lighter heart. Our blog address is 2crackedpots.blogspot.com. Feel free to stop by any time. God Bless and continue to Grow Where You are Planted. Our blog is......
