It takes patience...
It's back-breaking...
It's tedious...
It takes time...
Yes, it's seeding time...
But, which "seeding" am I speaking of?
All of us enter phases where we require "seeding" (or more appropriately "re-seeding") in our lives.
Sometimes it's due to uncontrollable life changes such as health problems, job downsizing, death of a spouse or significant other, natural/unnatural disasters like a tornado, fire or auto accident.
Sometimes it's the result of selfish decisions made without wise counsel... financial, spiritual, vocational, relational.
Sometimes it's due to a relationship that's gone bad... a divorce, family friction, a child's rebellion, a soured friendship.
Sometimes it's due to an addictive behavior... alcohol, drugs, pornography, internet, social networking.
Sometimes it's due to wrong behaviors, thoughts or feelings that we need to identify and remove.
Sometimes it's due to God's call for us to just... stop and listen to him for redirection.
Are you going through a time of "seeding" or "re-seeding" in your life? My prayers are with you. I know what you're going through.
God is good... He is the gardener we need to trust completely and put our faith in.
Thank you Father, for your watchful eye on each of us. You are the great gardener... you sow, water, feed and weed as needed in each of us. May we all give you control of our lives and not go it alone.

I am going through a re-seeding time. And you are right it is hard, painful. I'm trying my best to be faithful and patient. I know your prayers are with me and I'm grateful for that. Thanks for this post.
