Janaury's Issue

January issue
Hold on to your dream
Compliments of the New Year!!! And Happy 2013!!
The holidays are now over and everything is back to normal again. Some of you will be going back to school and some to work. 2012’s chapter has been closed and now we should start looking forward to achieving our new resolutions, dreams or plans for the current year.
Maybe you couldn’t achieve whatever you wished to achieve during the previous year and now you’ve given up and you’ve stopped dreaming. Today I want to say to you God has still given you a fresh start. If you go into a forest you’ll find two different plants a fern and a bamboo. God supplies both these plants with light and water. The fern is quick to grow into a brilliant green plant that covers the forest and on the other hand the bamboo takes five full years to become a tiny sprout. When comparing both plants during the time of their growth you’ll see that the bamboo seems as if it is smaller than the furn. Well this is how most people feel when others are being blessed before them – (smaller).
What’s amazing is that after a few years the bamboo rises to over a 100 feet taller than the fern because its roots had spent five years growing underground and God has been making them stronger every day. God does not give you a challenge that you cannot handle. He will never leave you nor forsake you so why are you giving up? Yes it feels like it’s taking too long to get there but like the bamboo plant you are still being made strong. During those moments when you think your struggling more than others God is giving you time to grow your roots. Don’t compare yourself with the next person instead give yourself time to grow and rise up high like a bamboo plant. Hold on to your dream and make sure that your faith is strong as it will keep you going. Never and I say never give up. Don’t tell the Lord how big your problem is but tell the problem how great your God is.
