Elom reflects on Scott's reflections: Growing- Part 2- Soil management

I sometimes wonder how good the soil is in different parts of my heart. Some areas are dryer than I care to admit, while others seem to be growing faster than I ever thought possible. As I try to start thinking of where to begin the healing journey on some of this less-than-top-soil, I wonder if the process will be painful... I suppose it will be, at least a little. Soil management sounds like a lot of hard work.



There is a part of me that is comfortable living in the status quo and that is not ready to make the changes needed to grow. The other part of me (which incidentally is a little louder) can't help but look back at the painful times I have been through and the impact they've had on my spiritual walk... Knowing this does not make growing any easier, it just makes it more bearable.
