Maturity, sprouting, blooming, flourishing, thriving.
As I embrace the possibilities of a brand new day and look ahead at all the opportunities to encounter, I smile with anticipation. There was a time not so long ago where I would make statements such as... I have to get up in the morning. I have got to go to work etc. Keeping it real, I still have those thoughts. However, I can bring them back in line quicker now. To replace I have got to with "I get to"! I challenge you as I have myself to look back over the past year. I journal, so it was interesting to read what I was thinking, doing a year ago. Then the questions I have got to ask, that I asked myself. Are you teachable? Are you coachable? For me, I have a long way to go but Praise God I have grown! Friend, don't become complacent, stagnant! You were created to make a difference! Look at the seed in the dirt. It continues to work, to push through to reach the sun! Then once mature, produces fruit! Join me as we grow together!
The Lord your God will bless you in all your harvest and in all the works of your hands, and your joy will be complete.
Deuteronomy 16:15
