My Life grows like a tree

Oaks come to mind.
They grow deep and wide, then there is a period where nothing seems to progress.
Its the time they get solid in their stands and their wood so valuable.

There is a lot going on in my life. I would compare it to a complete remodel of an old house, thats architecturally beautiful, precious and even a landmark, but had to be gutted, completely hollowed out and rebuilt with all new utilities, pipes and cables, connections, to support the progressive lifestyle.

A new garden planted, able to nourish and sustain the people who live there.

My relationship with my intimate partner, my young family, the fellowship and art community: all new and growing into a canopy of birdsong, happy thoughts and luscious shade from harsh burning mid day sun.

Life is as God wants it to be, and my job is to pay attention to take every step on that path, one day at the time. Lack and Delay now crumble away and I step into my promised life under grace.
