diy: indoor herb garden

My first hobby is revealed today... An indoor herb garden! If you would like to do your own indoor herb garden here are the steps I took to create mine.
1. buy ghetto plastic plant pots, seeds of your preference, soil, and cheap cloth
2. decorate ghetto pots with cheap cloth using mod podge to glue the cloth to the plastic (works like a charm)
3. once the pots are dry put a few folded pieces of paper at the bottom of the pot and fill 3/4 of the way up the pot with a nutritious potting soil
4. place seeds in pot, cover with further soil, water, & label with appropriate labels (mine read: basil, oregano, and cilantro)
5. place in sunny or shady room depending on which seeds you've chosen

Make sure to water daily and watch them grow!!

Today's inspiration came from Galatians 6:9 "And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up". Lately on my journey to recovery I've felt compelled to give up doing good -- feeling as though there is no point to the good work I try to bring to the table. But no matter what situation you are in, no matter how hard pressed you may feel, remember that it is completely possibly that the reason why you feel as though the weight of the world is on your shoulders and there is nothing to show for your work is because you are in a season of cultivation, not reaping. I hope this is reminder to at least one other person that one day we will reap, but first we must cultivate.
