No Go Gardener!
For the past month or so i have been "growing" some seeds. Well some sprouted but they shot up to fast and then the stems were to weak so they died a slow painful death! I obviously don't have a green thumb ;). About a week ago in utter frustration I dumper all my carefully tended to little pots into the pot I had intended to transplant them to when they were a bit grown. See I had carefully tended to these plants. Separated seeds and bought tiny little biodegradable planters. It was a rough afternoon getting everything set up to plant. Then watering ohh my. I used a eye dropper because I didn't want to hurt my seeds. So I got frustrated after like the fourth little pot of sprouts died. Said forget it I give up on gardening. And I dumped them all out in the big pot and got a gallon of water and dumped it on them. Said forget it if they grow they grow if they don't well they don't. No harm no foul. Today I noticed a little green sprout and the kids counted 10 sprouts total. And I've been thinking, it's kinda like prayer. You know how you pray and pray and pray and nothing seems to be changing or happening. But the moment you give up on it and throw it up in Gods big pot things change. The point in praying is to depend on God. No amount of earthly cultivating can help you. I have a big problem of not praying things through. What if I'm just one prayer short. I also have a problem of praying for Gods divine help, then trying to fix it myself! Like meddling with the plants I'm interfering with Gods plan and course. How can I expect Him to work if I won't stop meddling? That's pretty much my thought for the night. To long for a FB post. So hey I'll blog it ;)
