I really like the new series on growth. Growing has been a crucial part of my life in the past few years. Growing can sometimes be forced, but sustainable growth requires more than the initial push. It demands commitment, patience, and endurance. The fruits, well, they depend on what I decide to sow.
When I started on my growth journey, I really was not sure of where I would end up (I am still not sure of where I will end up...). I was very lost, very sad, very depressed, very angry, but I was also very tired of feeling that way. I had to do something, I had to commit to something, someone bigger than me. I had to consciously decide to take a step and start planting new seeds in my life. The crops could hopefully not be as bad as the previous ones I had planted. And that's what I did. I started planting, investing, sharing, opening up, serving... God really honors that I think. He honors that first step, that first leap of faith.
I started planting seeds to grow closer to God, and I have seen results in so many different areas of my life. I am still planting, I have more growing to do, more emotional healing to go through, more lessons to learn. Yet, every time I start planting new seeds, I am still amazed at God's faithfulness throughout the process. It's hard for me to take any credit when I see some of the things happening in my life, but I love it when I can see the Word come alive in my life:
"A man reaps what he sows." Galatians 6:7
It's pretty matter of fact...
