Today as I met with my new Pastor, I was thinking about how much I've learned to really just lay all my burdens down at the cross. I have not mastered this yet however, I have made some improvement. Deadlines are approaching and I have no way I can meet them alone and I've cast the vision and I've asked for help…and I've prayed. That is all I can do. I can't bribe people to give to my cause. He will speak to the people and He will bring the money in. I've done my part.
Today as I'm sitting outside after our meeting, I was looking to take a picture or two at some flowers because there were tons of pretty flowers in the flower beds. All of a sudden I see that there is a plant growing out of a rock. It was little and it appeared to have some buds on it. I could hardly believe it. I took the shot and went about my day.
As the day has progressed, the Lord has continued to teach me some things about this scenario.
1) When you are planted and rooted in the Rock, you are sheltered…and you can still grow.
2) You don't need green grass in order to grow.
3) The seed I have sown was in the Rock and now I'm growing…
Today, I guess more than anything, I've just really realized just how blessed I am. I am blessed because He speaks to me and I can hear Him. I am blessed because I am loved and accepted by the Creator of the universe despite my rejection of Him for so many years. I am blessed because I have found and accepted Him…
With that all being said, I've learned to hold my ground on the Rock. I've learned to not let my feet waver simply because there is some wind. Nothing will change that and I will remember every single day of my life that whatever may come against me, I am rooted and grounded in Him and Him alone and HE will grow me. 🙂
