In case you hadn't noticed, there is a whole lot of pain, suffering, unfairness, and evilness in this world. It's always been there, but we all have times when it attacks in a more personal way. I know that God is still in control and is working on His Plan in His perfect timing. He is not causing the bad things, but He can, and does, use them.
Being human, though, I like to have control of things. I also know that there are a lot of things that are not in my control, and that is VERY frustrating to me! What is my answer to this problem? Weeds! Yes, weeds! To me weeds represent all the pain, suffering, unfairness, and evilness in our broken world. I can get rid of weeds! Yes, they come back, but I can get rid of them again, and again.
When babies were born at home, they would put the expectant father to work boiling water. There was no need for the boiled water, but it gave the father something to keep him busy while the baby was delivered. So I'm keeping busy pulling weeds and trying to stay out of God's way so He can deliver His Plan. I'll also be waiting for Him to let me know when He needs my help. But, until then, IT IS NOT SAFE TO BE A WEED AT OUR HOUSE!
