An Environment for Growth

I will admit I love having plants in my home especially the ones that I don't kill and understand how to care for. I began using my plants as a self reminder that given the right atmosphere anything can excel. There are several pothos plants that I've had which appeared to be dying and looked hopeless. But I knew with time, sunshine and love they would blossom and grow. It amazes me how well a once dying flower does when it's receiving what it was previously lacking. These transformations have become a metaphor for me to live by. Have you ever felt like your growth was stunted? As if nothing you did had any impact, I've felt that way before. For me I realized it was the environment, it wasn't conducive for my development. Instead it was designed to prevent me from blossoming. Sometimes we find ourselves so comfortable that it's difficult to admit change is needed. And it's hard to admit there isn't enough sunlight & the place is too small. Growth isn't possible when there's no room to expand and explore. It is natural to outgrow a place just as plants at times require repotting. To allow room for their growth, anyone who is familiar with a pothos plant can tell you those beauties will take over any space when they are cared for properly. Their growth is unending and rapid, it's so amazing to see. My prayer is that in all areas of life I am in environments that promote my growth. If we aren't growing we aren't living. Never forget, we are unstuck, and we are free!
