This might be my favorite bouquet ever. That dahlia is a such a beauty but I’m also discovering that I love monochromatic palettes. 💕

How about you? Do you like monochromatic or multi-colored palettes? We have both in the flower stand.

“Cultivating beauty is an act of defiance in a world that fixates on strife, violence and hate.” - @joyfilleddays

Sarah went on to share a lot of wisdom in her post the other day, but this opening line struck a chord. I never set out to be defiant. I was the good girl, after all. The one who followed the rules. The obedient one, not the defiant one. And yet here I am with the words “Cultivating beauty and faithfulness on a small farm … “ in my bio.

This personal tagline, of sorts, is the driving force behind everything I do here on the farm. It stems from my beauty-seeking nature and one of my favorite passages in scripture.

Trust in the LORD and do good;   dwell in the land and cultivate   faithfulness.   Delight yourself in the LORD;   And he will give you the desires   of your heart.

- Psalm 37:-4 NASB

And there the defiance begins. For trusting in the Lord instead of fixating on the strife, cultivating faithfulness instead of seeking violence, and delighting in the Lord instead of being filled with hate are acts of obedience to the Lord and acts of utter defiance to the world. The more I see of the ugliness of the world the more I want to cultivate beauty on my humble little piece of land. The more I see the weariness of people without hope, the more I want to share the beauty of our farm with others. It’s such small and simple acts - pulling a weed here, pruning a plant there. But the result is never insignificant.

To quote Sarah’s next words,

“Beauty,
even small acts of beauty,
in the form of a bouquet of flowers, a line of verse, a beautiful painting, delicate lace curtains, tea in a crackly, glazed chintz patterned cup, a sunset walk,
slow us down and remind us that there is more to this life than the ugly, painful aspects we experience.
Beauty reminds us of Heaven and hope and points our minds upward to Christ and outside of ourselves.”

What began as a dream I chased has become an offering I am desperate to share. This farm isn’t just for me. It’s for such a time as this. So I’ll carry on defiantly cultivating beauty because the world needs to see it. It needs the reminder. It needs Christ.
