a little seed

it's amazing to see in life how everything starts off as a seed.

thinking about my business. it was a seed. i went to a party. loved the jewelry. had a great time. loved the advisor. so i hosted a show. did not have a clue that it would turn into a career for me. didn't have a clue that it would change my life. in many ways.

krista going to Australia. started as a seed. a thought to do what she's always dreamed of doing. traveling. seeing the world. experiencing other cultures.

joel in portland and then peru. started off as a seed. furthering his education on his own. then traveling to further academic education and personal education. being immersed in a culture.

mom with her early childhood conferences. she will never know the impact that her "small" seed will have on the early childhood world. her love for children and their education is evident in these conferences. she gives all that she has and loves doing it.

dad with his investment properties. started as a seed. way back when. "if only he had invested sooner" but the point is he's doing it now. he had a dream. a seed a long time ago and now he is pursuing it. he is watering it.

all things in our lives start off as seeds. the possibilities of of the growth are endless. some are meant to grow continually through out life. and some just for a season. looking at the seed we can't know which it will be. it's our job to take care of the seeds we're given.

how will we take care of it? will we choose water it - even when there is doubt that nothing may come from it?

SEEDS GROW. when there is good nutrition. water. good soil. sun. we need to provide the action of "watering" but we can't provide the sun!

not ALL seeds will grow into what WE want them to be. BUT all seeds will grow into what they're meant to be!

we have part in the growth.

there is a "seed" in my life right now - that i'm going to water... and see where it will go. i just need the sun.
