Right after the workshop I heard “the pepper tree”. 🌴
I ignored it.
Then again. “ the pepper tree”
So I have a green pepper 🫑 tree that I started to grow a little late in autumn knowing that winter would be coming soon. But what the heck.
I thought my apartment will be warm enough so it will survive.
As winter came I could see it striving
I would say “ thank you, I love you ❤️ “ as I tended to it.
On the last winter storm - I forgot to take it from the window and one day I checked and to my surprise the leaves 🍃 had frost bites and they slowly started to wither.
I thought, “ What an unfair chance I gave this plant?”
“Why did you force this plant to grown in such environment? “
And I felt bad, I took it down and placed it at the entrance of my apartment. Visually it did not look so well but I wanted to see her everyday, even if she was going to die. “It is the least I could do” I thought to myself.
So today when my guides said to me 🫑 pepper tree and I looked.
I had resolved in my heart that this tree won’t make it.
But look at what my guides showed me. I did not realize that there are new leaves on this plant.behind the dried leaves 🍃 safely maturing out of sight was new life - new direction and a true lesson from God
So here is the message of grace.
Sometimes God puts you up front not to show what’s withering but to show others that through the grace of divine how you grow and evolve despite how you were meant to wither away.
Your inner critic will say “ I am vulnerable”
God says “ I got you!” ( the choice is yours who you trust - but behind your pain, disappointment, tears , grows a life you don’t see coming but God has a plan)
Just because the environment may be unstable or not suitable does not mean that deep in the roots God does not already have a plan for you.
Not because you feel burdened and no longer look the part because of things that are occurring means there is no chance for chamge.
My pepper 🫑 tree to me: “
Look - I grow new leaves because deep down I choose that with love of self I can grow in any environment- no matter the circumstances because as the leaves withered it gave me the silence I needed to focus on ME.
And choose to evolve - to heal - to grow - just as I was meant to be.”
This is YOU today.
This is me.
You are not done you are merely growing new leaves.
Let them grow ❤️
