• Feeling Like a Plant Growing Upside Down

   by mrs violet
  
  My son has had to do a project for Cubs. He took a bean seed, and when it had been established, turned the pot over to see what would happen. Jake's little plant snuck out the bottom of the pot and grew towards the light.
  

  
  
  
  Then the roots, turned to go the same way as the stem and also grew towards the bottom of the ramekin. Why?
  
  
  
  Because that is where the water had pooled.
  
  
  
  Some of you, like me, are going through hard times right now. Some of us feel like we are that little plant whose whole world has been tipped upside down. You don't know where to go next and your direction for life and growth has changed.
  
  I don't know about you, but I want to be like that little plant. I want to grow outwards towards the Son, Jesus. And I want the roots of my soul to grow down drinking thirstily from living waters.
  
  Have you experienced a time in your life where you have felt you have been tipped up side down? How did you get through it?
