A lot of times we make the mistake to want to run from our challenges when presented by them; rather than allowing our challenges to prune us so we can bloom where we are.  For the last few weeks and especially today, I felt pressure from many different fronts.  However, I also know this is a season that I am preparing for rain… an outpouring of immeasurable favor from God. He has already shown me in his Word and in his actions that he loves me and favors me.   Yet, I know by following his will I should always be in a state of expectancy.  I just need to do my part and continue to bloom where I am.
