A year ago I received two small trees from church on earth day, and I was excited to plant and grow my own trees. I took both home, bought some soil and planted. I begin to water the trees and pick out the weeds that grew in the soil. Day after day, I watch those baby trees sprout but they had not grown much. After six months with no growth, I wondered if I had done something wrong. Did I not give it enough love? Did I over water? Against my better judgement I just let them be. I didn’t throw the trees away,I just stopped caring for them as they sat outside. No watering or weeding. Summer came and left, fall came and left, and even a bad winter stopped through. From time to time I would check but still no-growth in my little trees. Spring came again and right when I was about to give up and throw my baby trees away, they began to grow. I was so shock! It had been over a year, with many adverse weather conditions, and in the end, my baby trees finally grew. I realized that in life, everything is timing. To see growth I have to be patient. For you will reap what you sow if you faint not.
