SEEDS

June, 23, 2008 at 4:36 am (Uncategorized)

Im holding eight seeds right now in my hand.  I have to admit that I am a little amazed at what God just told me thru them.  Why you ask?  A little boy named Corbin just gave them to me and I had forgotten they were in my pocket.  He is four years old and has blonde hair and blue eyes.  He is one of the kids I had a chance to hang out with on Saturday at the Micro Mission.  Its funny I wasnt even expecting to hang out with them.  I started out in Landscaping and ended up meeting this family while I was working in the garden.  I met his older sister Anna (7) and ended up hanging out with her family all day.  Im not gonna lie I loved meeting his older sister anna ( me and another lifechurcher Misty had the oppurtunity to hang out with her).  It was an amazing day.  But I honestly left thinking in my head…”did I really make a diference?”.  Did I really do anything good.  I mean it was just one day.  One day.  Thats it.  So I said my good byes and honestly was really frustrated. 

Then I looked in my pocket the next day.  In them were 8 seeds.  Corbin had given them to me and Mike (misti’s husband) while we were sitting under a tree.  He had found them on the ground and desided that it would be a good gift to give to us.  I will never forget him counting them out.  This is yours he said…one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight!!!!  It was so cute.  I stuffed the seeds in my pocket and honestly forgot about them.  Then today as I was thinking and honestly finding myself frustrated and wondering if I had actually made a diffence I looked at those seeds.  And God slapped me on the head and said, “Sarah you may not have made a diffence…but you planted a seed….and you know what…im gonna make it grow now.”  I cried when I found them.  Because honestly I felt so selfish. Its not about me.  There is nothing that I can ever do…to change things.  Its about Jesus…He is the one who does the changing.  Lord forgive me for thinking diffently. 

If you are reading this blog…pray for Corbin, Anna, Kevin, and Brian.  Pray that God take that seed that was planted and turn it into the BIG tree that produced them.  Pray that God make those children steadfast in Christ!!!!!  Thats all I ask.
