I DECIDED TO GROW & FLOURISH

I Decided to Grow and Flourish
By: Sandra Garcon
 
Written July 6, 2014, on train from Switzerland to Venice, Italy.  Inspired by trees growing out of these huge thick mountainous rocks.
 
I have decided to grow and flourish even in the midst of difficult and treacherous environments
In environments scares of water, I dig my roots
In hard places that fail to trap the rain, there my roots go deeper and I flourish
No I didn't decide on these unlikely environments
But it was the place God chose to cultivate my strength
I have done what others fail to do. I've survived
I spited my cruel teacher and extended my branches and flourish
Feel the breeze through me, come beneath my shades there I will cover you as He covered me
Come lean on me. I can carry you. For great was the price I paid for this strength
I have decided to grow and flourish in:
Mountainous regions
In deserts
Beneath the earth
In ravines
In the depths of the ocean
On frozen ground
In drought
In the flood
In the eye of the storms
In jungles
In bitter and dark forests there I decided to grow and flourish


WHAT OBSTICLES HAVE HELD YOU FROM GROWING AND FLOURISHING?
