Faith, after Planting...

Growth, through Faith...

With all new adventures, I generally have the mentality of jumping in feet first...I've always been a hands-on learner, desiring to put plow to the soil, versus watching someone else do it...

For me personally, the beginning is always filled with high amounts of anticipation, constant dreams of 'what could be', numerous vision(s) of what it might look like in the future...it consumes me!

But once you've planted what God has directed, pruned what God has asked you to remove, or set down what he has asked you to release...what then? What do we do in the 'growing season', while we're waiting for the Harvest, for the fruit to produce?

I know that the Lord has placed me here, the waiting...growing my Faith in HIS timing...

Within this season of waiting, I've held on to the book of Hebrews, specifically Chapter 11. God shows us that HIS plan can only be carried out, through FAITH, in HIS timing...

Hebrews shows us:

'By faith Abraham...', 'By faith Noah...', 'By faith Moses...', 'By faith Enoch...', 'By faith Isaac...', 'By faith Joseph...'

'Now faith is confidence in what we hope for, and assurance about what we do not see' (Hebrews 11:1 NLT)

Hold on to the promises that he has spoken over you, that is the assurance of what is not seen! Do not be discouraged...for our timing is not his timing, and our vision is rarely aligned with his vision. There is growth happening in the waiting, a pruning that is happening in the quietness...a building of a foundation in HIM!
