A SEED PLANTED AKA MOI' (UPDATED NEARLY COMPLETELY, 'CEPT THE PICTURE AND SCRIPTURE {WHAT CAN I SAY? IT JUST COMES OUT NATURALLY WHEN I WAS FIVE AND WON MY TROPHY})

First there was a brand new seed
planted on a rock, alone,
but then it grew into a sturdy little seedling,
then was finally grafted into a family tree,
reaching as high
as it possibly could,
stretching
its little scrawny branches
into the sunshiny, beautiful clouds-only-for shadows,
not to mention daydreaming,
azure sparkly blue sky,
easily bending in the wind,
east to west,
north to south,  
this way and that,
anywhere the wind sent it,
because this little seed's
roots
were planted
early and
O
so
very
deeply.
Fly away?
Who?
Moi'?
I am a butterfly 
But I shall never fly away from my King. 

ROMANS 5:3-5

NOT ONLY SO

BUT WE ALSO GLORY IN OUR SUFFERINGS, BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT

SUFFERING

PRODUCES

PERSEVERANCE;

PERSEVERANCE,

CHARACTER;

AND CHARACTER

HOPE.

AND HOPE DOES NOT PUT US TO SHAME;

BECAUSE GOD'S LOVE HAS BEEN 

POURED OUT

INTO OUR HEARTS

THROUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT,

WHO HAS BEEN GIVEN TO US.
