I have the privilege of spending moments of time in the most delightful of places, with the most precious of people. Sometimes I see things that make my heart soar (this happens very often) and sometimes I see things that make my heart want to cry. I don't spend all my time seeing. Once I have seen something, I can't pretend that I haven't. I am determined to find ways to innitiate change so that situations that make my heart cry, become those that make my heart soar. Innitiating change doesn't always mean moving mountains. Sometimes it means having faith as small as a mustard seed.
I am aware that I'm not the beginning of this postitive change, neither will I be the end. There are always those that came before me and there will be those that come after. So, I get to be a part of some stages between the start and finish.
Even more so, I am most certainly not the One that actually makes the change happen. Sometimes I am the one who pours a little water on some seedlings. Othertimes my job might be putting up a fence so they have a safe space to grow. I am a seedling too, sometimes I am the seedling being drenched in terrential rains.
I will use this space to record some of the highlights along the way. The gardens I'm in, the seedlings I come across, the waterings I get, the growth I see.
Mike and I were talking about seeds of faith last night...a seed is the truth you are absolutely certain of. certainty comes form the Lord. I have the faith to believe God will give my child a good friend. I don't have faith that he will heal her. but using the small 'certain' seed, planting it will produce greater certainties...like faith in healing...only God grows the seed; only God can increase your faith. I can't wait to read about your faith victories...blog on friend!!
