Okay.
Well, this is my first blog (at least here on blogspot), and I think it's going well so far ...
I guess I'll start with my purpose behind all this.
This will be a place for me to share my thoughts, and to hopefully keep in touch with my loved ones from far-away. Also, I hope to have some meaningful reflections to share, and maybe even some lessons I'm learning as I grow.
Which brings me to the inspiration behind the title of this blog: There is a song by Half-handed Cloud called (you guessed it) "We Don't Know How it Grows," and I've been listening to it a lot lately because it is a relateable, important, and yet easy-to-forget message that I think I should try harder to remember. Also, I feel like I recently read the Bible passage that H-hC took this from, but I can't remember it for the life of me. If I find it, I will add it here.
Here are the lyrics. I wish I could post the song for you to listen to, because the music is quite fitting. Too bad.
If a man should scatter seed upon the ground
And then to sleep by night
And rise by day
Then the seed should sprout and grow
But he himself he does not know
Just how it got that way
The kingdom of God
We don't know how it grows
Nobody knows
The kingdom of God
We don't know how it grows
Only He knows
What I should compare it to
A mustard seed so small it grew
Into the largest tree
What should it be likened to?
Some leaven hidden deep inside of meal
Measured three
The kingdom of God
We don't know how it grows
Nobody knows
The kingdom of God
We don't know how it grows
Only He knows
The kingdom of God
We don't know how it grows
Grows
Only He knows
And then the seed should sprout and grow
But he, himself, he does not know
Just how it got that way
So yes. This is my blog.
