Seed Planting

In the past, I filled in when needed as a contributor to this ministry, but recently I was asked to contribute on a regular basis. I was honored and frightened at the same time. I will do my very best to bring words of encouragement. 

I have always joked that I really believe I could teach a dog to read, but I never considered for a moment that I would become a writer. I believe that God often uses what we consider to be our weaknesses so that the results point directly back to Him. He has led me down this path and I am just trying to be obedient to His calling while knowing and understanding my limitations. I owe to Him my sincere praise and gratitude for every word and thought contained on every single page of my writings.

Many of you are aware that with God at the helm in 2022, He enabled me to write and have published a book entitled; From the Master’s Hand to Mine: Bearing Fruit Through Conversations with God. After my book was published, I spent many days thinking about its message. It finally occurred to me that before we, as Christians, can bear fruit for God’s kingdom, seeds must first be planted. We must dig deep into the scriptures to feed off God’s Word which is necessary for spiritual growth. We can then grow upward in search for the “Son.”  That is the very moment I knew God would use me to write another book. It has been a year in the making and I am excited to announce that my next book will be released soon.

Have you ever planted a seed? Have you ever thought about its amazing journey?  For the seed to bear fruit, its roots must reach deep into the soil absorbing the nutrients needed for the stem to grow upward searching for the sun. I think God often plants an array of seeds inside of us so that we will be equipped to do the same in others. We cannot plant a seed that we know nothing about, thus, the title of my next book, It’s All About the Seeds: Planting a Spiritual Garden with Light From the SON. This book takes you on a journey through real life experiences and events where lives were changed through the planting of seeds into fertile hearts.  Hopefully, it will help demonstrate the importance of the scriptures as well as the power of a seed. Then, when we enter the gates of Heaven on that final day, we will hear God whisper, “Welcome to my kingdom, my good and faithful seed planter. Come in and see the fruits of your labors.”

As most of you know, my passion is poetry. At the end of each chapter, I wrote a jingle that goes like this.

Once a seed is planted, God wants us all to know,

We may have been the Sower, but it’s He who’ll make it grow.

 Never underestimate the power of a seed!
