There are many factors that I had no control over about treeplanting, like the food, the people I am stuck working and living with, whether I would sleep at night. But actually all of those things are great. The food is awesome, the people are all decent and interesting [we even wrote a treeplanting song last night] and I sleep way better in the bush than at home, weird. But there still remains an X factor, I'm really bad at treeplanting. No seriously and I've been at this for four days. Were suppose to plant tree is a loose grid thats relatively spaced apart. But I get lost and can't find my previous trees. The phrase ' can't see the tree for the forest' now becomes 'I can't see my trees for the shrubs, slash and swamps.' Yea a bit of learning curve, which feels like a learning steeple.
Gen 3:17-19 - cursed is the ground because of you...thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you...By the sweat of your face, you shall eat bread.
This has very much new meaning for me. I've never had to be a farmer of sorts before [my offically title is 'agricultural field work - planting tree saplings'] so this is kind of new. Since this is all cursed because of sin, I'm feeling the effects of the sin and the curse in whole new way. Pastor Mark says that the ground is curse and work is hard so that men will know what God feels like when we is dealing with us being obstinate and thorny and generally disagreeable to His holy ideas. Yea.
