GATOP

GATOP Gardens - Knoxville, TN

I love this story! The current owners of the above property shared their story of why they purchased it in this Live Green Tennessee documentary. There is also a public tour of the grounds offered in Spring 2018. 

GATOP stands for: God's Answer To Our Prayers.

Peaceful Times

Peace is so necessary in these challenging times. Rest assured that the Lord of the Universe is in control! 

Philippians 4:4-9 New International Version (NIV)
Final Exhortations
4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God,which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 9 Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.

The Art of Waiting



I am not always good at waiting. I work hard at filling the minutes of my day by being constructive in a positive manner but lately I find I have more available time to fill while waiting for my dreams and goals to come to fruition! 

So I did some research on waiting today. Two links are below with valuable data to consider as one learns to wait. 


I'll resolve to push forward, training myself to wait with contentment! 
Moments are so precious.
