When dealing with plants, a key fact that one must know is that plants will grow. A seed will be planted in good soil. It will be watered. It will grow. Eventually, the plant's roots will grow so deep and so wide in the pot that the pot will no longer be able to sustain the plant. It would be unhealthy for the plant to remain in the pot as a growing organism. The gardener then needs to find a suitable pot in which he will replant it.
In order to begin the transfer, the gardener needs the right equipment, patience, and tenderness. As he begins to dig out the plant, some soil will be removed, roots will be exposed (even the tiniest ones), and some might even be removed (as seen fit by the gardener). This process will be done with patience and tenderness because the organism is still alive and it is delicate in its current state. The gardener knows that what he's doing is good for the plant because it will allow it to grow healthier.
This is exactly how I see Launch and the entire World Race right now. God has literally uprooted me from everything I've ever known and been comfortable with. He is the good gardener that knows what is best for his plant. He is uprooting, He is tearing, He is exposing things about me that need to be dealt with. He is handling with care.
He is currently transferring me to a different pot called the World Race. He is calling me to grow deeper and wider outside of my normal world and into His bigger and better world that He's desired for me to step into for a long time.
The verb "launch" is defined as setting something into motion. That's exactly what is happening here. God is preparing me for what is to come on the race. Here we go…
