Bloom Where You're Planted

"Bloom where you're planted."

It's a phrase we use from time to time at my preschool, usually to encourage a child to pick a seat and not get up and move around. But I find that phrase quietly surfacing in my mind lately. Not as an encouragement to physically find a spot, but to flourish in my life, right where I am. To look for the grace in each day (whatever the circumstance), lean on God, and grow.

No excuses.

No waiting for something/someone to change before I will.

Instead blooming, making the here and now beautiful.
