Uprooted

Have you ever felt stuck in the wrong place at the wrong time?

My grandparent's house had a gumball tree and under this tree, as a boy, I would listen and observe as the role models around me discussed the subjects of life. The things discussed became what I believed and held as life principles concerning relationships, religion, finances and health. Years under that old gumball tree were fun and exciting, but fostered detrimental information to me. Years later, I saw that the old gumball tree completely uprooted. I saw symbolism in how God has faithfully uprooted so many of the things that were holding me back. My story is the story of how God will uproot us from what holds us back and replant our soul in places where we will thrive. My story is authentic and painful to recount, but it is also a story that will inspire you to seek the replanting God stands ready to provide for you.
