Dreams Fulfilled

I recently sat down with my phone and started scrolling garden plans on Pinterest. I saved a few ideas here and there and thought nothing of it. That is until I went back to my board to clean up a few pins I knew I no longer wanted. It was then that I realized I had saved pins to a board named “Future Farm”. I was so struck at that moment with the realization that I was no longer living in “future farm” dreaming but in current farm reality. This dream that I’ve been hanging onto for years has finally come to fruition. I took a moment to say a prayer of thanks and once again marvel at how quickly life can change. Sometimes it changes for the worse, but sometimes we get lucky and it changes for the better. I still have a hard time believing we made this dream come true, but here we are.

My job now is to love this property and use it as best I can. I have big plans and I have to catch myself sometimes and remember to take it slow. Not everything has to be done right away. The garden for example will stay small this year. I have plans to expand the space by quite a bit, but we decided for this first year it was better to use what we already had. My husband and I have moved around quite a bit and have never been somewhere before that we could put roots down. It’s such an odd concept for me to think about putting together a five-year plan for example. It’s hard to wrap my mind around the fact that I have time. God willing, we plan to stay here for quite a while. So, for now, I will be grateful for the space I have, learn what I can, and look forward to really making this space our own. Always thankful that sometimes dreams do come true.
