what's a little seed?

A hope? An uncertainty?
A question that sprouts into too many answers.
An idea that takes root.
A possibility...

How do we take the fragile little seeds life gives us and nurture them into something deeply grounded, hearty, and durable? And how do we recognize potential in such a tiny capsule with so much unknown in an unpredictable climate?

I found myself at a theoretical crossroads recently and started to ask these questions, along with those daunting questions that we all ask ourselves from time to time: "What am I doing with my life? What is my purpose? How do I take root, grow, & flourish?"

I find the answers I know to be true in Scripture, where I read of a loving, sacrificial Savior who gave up life itself willingly for me. Here I find my purpose and my overall theme: glorify God in all things. But practically, specifically, for me right now, 26 years old in Charlotte, business woman, home renter, dog owner, day dreamer, husband lover... what does that really mean?

It was at this crossroads that I found some answers. I knew I was being called to pursue my passions yet find rest in knowing that I don't know what exactly the plan or potential is. Like a little seed tossed around by the elements, fighting to break through, I'm reliant on God & his miracle of growth to see me through to fruition. And so commences this journey that I hope you'll take with me...
