growing more then just flowers...

A thought has been running around in my head for the past month.

“This summer I’m growing more then just flowers.”

I couldn’t figure it out… What else am I growing? 

Yes, I am growing more then just flowers…vegetables and some herbs, but I knew that wasn't the ‘more’ in my thoughts. 

God wanted me to see something.

I felt His answer come after spending the evening listening to an older woman. 

It’s not what you’re growing-it’s what I am growing in you.

I had only to look at my recent thoughts to see traces of The Gardener’s hands at work.

He was planting convictions.

I was surprised. I thought convictions were things you planted yourself.

But now when I consider deeply, any conviction I have planted has slowly died off.

 What He plants will last-forever.

Yes, He is growing more then just flowers this summer.
