One of the things that I have vowed to do is to take advantage of Mqt's Farmer's Market on Saturday mornings. There is nothing like fresh veggies and fruit - let alone local artists, music, plants and seeing friends. I love the Market!!!!
This week while at the market, my sister Mary and I were talking to a local gardener. She was showing us some perennials that she had grew from seed. She was saying that the plant grows best where it wants to grow. I guess when the flowers drop their seeds - those plants that come from the seeds do better than the plants that she plants. It's as if the plant knows what it needs and drops its seeds there.
This got me thinking...
How many times in my life have I been worried because I have not flourished or grown the way I think I should. Sometimes I put myself in a situation because it will be a "good learning experience". I think I know how I should grow and what will help me best to grow. I may learn something from the experience but it's not nearly as life forming as it is if I am thrown into a situation and left to figure it out as I go. Now those are life changing experiences!!!
I tend to think that God is like the wind - he carries our life where he feels we will grow best. Instead of me resting myself where I think I should be. I guess the trick is to TRUST that the wind will carry us to the right place.
