About Me
- Hannah
- I'm a Canadian who was raised in a Christian home and saved through gospel tent meetings at the age of twelve.Since then I've had an increasing desire to put my life into ministry and avoid the trap of North America's materialistic thinking. Talking to people, trying to help them, and engaging in deep theological discussions are somethings I enjoy. Yet one of the coolest things to me is the simple faith of a child, looking at me in awe as I describe the nature or acts of God. I love music and you will always find me listening to it or singing along when no one is around. I am somewhat adventurous and this shows itself in sporadic trips to far away places. Teasing my friends is an enjoyable pasttime, yet I also find that I learn a lot from them. :) Most importantly I want to make my life count by spending it for God, so that at the end of my life I can look back and see that though I have failed Him so many times, His will was done in me.

Now that's pretty!
Okay, now that I'm not so tired, lol, I can actually comment!
This was actually snapped that close to your house? Wow! Minus the lake I have some pretty scenery here as well.
I've planted several trees of late-5 to be exact. As you know I planted a maple tree that I nursed back to health-it has got some of the prettiest green leaves on it now! I also planted a peach tree at the same time. The day before yesterday I planted an oak tree out front that I got at Wal-Mart on clearance-it's gonna be another one to nurse back to health. Out back I planted a Washington Hawthorne and an apple tree. I placed the apple tree as close to the spot as I can remember-up until about 20 years ago we had one almost in that exact spot and a tornado took it! It's so weird to think that a tornado got that close on you w/o doing any damage to your house, but that's another story, lol!
I've got two wild pecan trees that I'm going to be saving. We have 4 fully mature pecan trees that produce a load of pecans every other year and inevitably we always get little wild trees springing up from year to year from pecans that got crushed and buried. Most of them are too close to the "parent" tree to even consider saving but I've had two that are keepers. One is already on it's way to a pretty good size but the other one I found buried in amongst some weeds last year, lol! It came back this year, so I'm going to place a guard around it so I don't mow it under by accident, lol!
Oh and for the best news of all! For the first time in like 6 years, they've planted something besides rice in the fields around us!!!! I kept noticing how all of the rice fields had already been flooded and had rice growing and the fields beside the house didn't. I went out and looked Monday and, PTL, they have planted beans!!! One farmer told me that the ground beside us makes good rice but that it always gets "red" rice in it (which is a substandard rice, almost like a weed) and has to be cut down. So I think they're finally getting the message that I've been praying for the last several years for them to plant something besides rice, lol!!!!!
