Photo: Frank Liske ParkLong before the branchreaches toward the light,something unseenhas already chosenwhere it will grow.Roots stretch quietlythrough darkened soil,searching for what will feed them.So does the mind.Whatever it returns today after day
I love this, Anne! The roots analogy is so good. Often, our brains revert to previous pathways, even if they were unhealthy. Familiarity draws us in even if it was not positive. Mostly, I get tripped up with worrying. Over time, I have realized that it is actually about my trying to control rather than trust God. This is a daily reminder that I have to pick up my cross and trust that He is in charge and His ways are best. Anne, I also love the photo!
Thanks Tricia. Our mind guides the heart in what it trusts and obeys. That good ole inner critic needs to be reset to say “God you’re in control and not me.” The picture is one I took several years ago at the largest area local park.
Your poem really drew me in! Thank you for the image of integrity.
Thank you! I’m glad it resonated with you. God bless you!
