sowing and reaping

so yeah, i've been collecting acorns from all over this fall... the idea being to plant them so that oak trees might be produced... why oaks? well, they're slow growing and long lasting... a tough tree. (with some significance being in planting something that will outlast me) why acorns? well, duh, cause that's where oaks come from... and hence the point:

"do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked, a man reaps what he sows." galatians 6:7

just thinking about what results i want to see from my life - what God wants to see from my life... whatever i may WANT to see - it will wind up being a result of what i do... it takes time and intentionality... small first steps for big results... (related cool quote: "when saturated by the Word, more surely will our prayers be heard." - only way to saturate is through being in it!!!)

oh yeah, and i'd probably better check about getting the bags of acorns out of mom's fridge soon - cause they've been there more than a month!!!
