There is so much potential locked up in a small seed. What if we start looking at our problems for seeds of solutions rather than just obstacles to try to be avoided? I don’t know about you but I have quite few seeds I think I have been overlooking in my life.
We have the magic to decide to open and what can wait. It is so difficult sometimes~ I hope you listen to the whispers of your heart. I like your insightful approach. I love this post~
Great words of wisdom Ella. One only needs the discernment to know which to open and which to set aside for another day. Hope your July is off to a wonderful start. I must get over to visit.
Oh if I would only look to the seed of solution instead of sometimes being preoccupied with the problem itself. Wise words… Thank you for sharing, Wanda.
Ha, that’s me and you both Monica. It’s far easier to be consumed with the problem than look deeper and uncover the solution.
Hmmm, that’s an interesting way to look at things! I know I have a seed bag of problems lately, but I do suppose that God is eager to grow something new in me through the process. So, yes, I’ll try to look for more positive solutions instead. One question, does anyone want to help me pull some weeds?!
GOD BLESS!
Indeed it is. When I read that quote I had to take a little pause. I think I’ll pass on the weeds. Too many around here that needs tending lol.
Oh, Wanda … This will preach for days … weeks…months. May we truly get an understanding of what is wrapped up and germinating in our “problems.”
Girl…when I read that quote…I had to do a double take and have a selah moment.

I never thought of that. Wanda, this is why I read your blog. 🙂
And I didn’t either Elizabeth until I read Norman’s quote and sat with awhile. Hope you are doing well my dear.
I think I have many seeds of potential as well. One thing I have also learned that by overcoming obstacles this will sometimes unlock my potential and allow my seed to grow. It is through my hardships that I learn new things and in turn this builds up my faith.
Hi Sophia, so true! It’s only when the seed endures the pressure does it really become all that can be. And it’s much the same for us.
Love this Wanda! ? God is at work planting seeds in our lives – even when we do not recognize it or understand it. But it’s much easier and profitable when we cooperate with our problems rather than avoiding and dismissing them.. Success can be measured in the lessons learned, lives touched and moments shared along the way. What a great quote!
Blessings friend; have a wonderful holiday weekend! ?
Denise.
I like the way you put that Denise. I think we miss much of what God does or is doing in our lives because it comes in seed form. Have a safe and Happy 4th of July!
Love this my friend.
