Like a garden, our lives grow through seasons. We, too,
experience bursts of energy and growth along with other seasons that are slow
and almost dormant. In periods of growth, we must remember the role of the
gardener and prune the excess and old limbs to make way for new growth, opportunities
and thoughts. A strong, rooted foundation withstands unexpected weather or
challenges that may come our way as we are growing.
During the seasons of growth in my life, I am often reminded
of the biblical parables and historic references to sowing seeds. When one’s life is rooted, an abundance of
joy is present throughout the journey.
How are you growing your life today? Are you stretching and
straining with too much noise and busyness? Are you giving yourself time to
rest and to ‘just be’ for a season? Are you pruning out the unnecessary old
ways to provide for a strong foundation and a next season of growth, while
allowing the deep roots of your foundation to be maintained to your beliefs?
Take time to reflect upon the season of life you are
growing into now.
