Hello Loves. I have not blogged in quite a
while. Life has required my
attention, for many different reasons.
I have had some ups , some downs, some good days and some not so good
days. I am not one to have bad
days. Every day is a good day when
God allows you to experience it.
Despite all of the turmoil I have faced, and the storms that have been
raging, I am grateful. I know that
I am Blessed and Highly Favored.
My life has presented me with new opportunities, new friends, and I am
sure, new foes. But, above all
things, I have spent a great deal of time thinking and connecting with
God. God has allowed me to cross
paths with many new and interesting people. I have been given the opportunity to make a positive impact
on the lives I have become a part of.
Sowing seeds has become an unintentional part of my life. It just happened, by no effort of my
own.
When we are Blessed to be good
people, and to have a Spiritually empowered soul, others can be drawn to
us. They are drawn to our
strengths, and most importantly, our POWERFUL
Spirit. When we are in need, God
will have us cross paths of someone that is in the seed sowing business. But, the giver in us will still desire
to contribute to the growth of their seeds. We will take on the role of the seed fertilizer and the seed
waterer. Even though that person
is attempting to help us, we will still attempt to reciprocate in any way
possible. One thing we must remember
is, in our unselfish effort to fertilize the seeds; we have to be careful that
we are not watering weeds. I have
said this before, and I will say it again, every goodly deed is not a Godly
deed. We have to know when we are
supposed to become the gardener and give fertilizer and water to someone else’s
seeds. If we are not sure, very
sure, our nurturing can fall on stony ground. We have a tendency to view every positive thing we do as
growth. This is not always
so. Some things that we think is
growth can actually be a distraction.
Distractions can come in many
forms. The strong must carry the
weak. As strong people, we desire
to help someone, every opportunity we get. We do not want to pass up the chance to make someone smile,
or to make their life easier. We
need to remind ourselves, that every battle is not ours. We are not supposed to react to every
cry for help that is brought before us.
The help that we may be giving someone, could actually be a distraction
from what God really wants us to do.
Delayed obedience, is still disobedience. If God is not telling us to get involved, we need to heed
His voice. There are many
situations that we can fix, instantaneously, but God may require that we just
pray about that particular situation.
Everyone’s tests can eventually be their testimonies. My tests are not your tests; your
testimonies are not my testimonies.
What God has for you is for you, and no one else. Walk in your calling and follow God’s
lead. Know when to sow, when to
reap, when to fertilize, when to water, and when to pray. God wants our harvest to be
bountiful. But, our bounty can
become wilted if we are nurturing the wrong seeds.
Living, loving, and loving some
more.
carry on
