I’m ready to bloom wherever God sends me!
I’m about to hit the road—fall is here, and my Suburban is all loaded up. As I was getting in, I found myself thinking, Where am I going? Well, I’m headed to Louisiana, then Alabama, and Tennessee after that.
But something caught my eye. Over by our driveway, growing up through the rocks, was a periwinkle. I learned about these from Laurie—she used to have them planted on the backside of the house. I guess one of the seeds drifted over here and took root. And right there is a little sermon: bloom where you’re planted.
That periwinkle didn’t have ideal soil or a perfect spot—but it bloomed anyway. I’ve been planted in Arkansas, then Louisiana, now back in Texas—and wherever God sends me next, I want to bloom there.
So here’s my encouragement to you: wherever life has you right now, choose to bloom. That little flower is beautiful—and so are you.
