All growth is a leap in the dark, a spontaneous unpremeditated act without the benefit of experience. - Henry Miller
When I think of growing, I often think of spring because it is a new season that seems to spring forth overnight. You can look at the same tree for months, and then one day it catches your eye as you see it with vibrant flowers. And you ask yourself when did that happen? It seems as if it was spontaneous growth, but we know that this special growth was in the works, we just were not aware of those silent, dark nights.
You will experience silent nights when you feel that no one understands you. You will have times when you feel as if you are all alone and no one cares. You will shed silent tears in the wee hours of the night. But remember that God is with you and He cares. Those silent times are just the "water" that will one day give life to something grand. Those silent times will one day become your personal spring time as you rebound and realize that life's lessons are just preparing you to become a better person. Joy always comes in the morning!

Incredible post. This is so true and there are so many Scriptures that come to mind that back this up.
Think you need to start preaching or put all your great thoughts into a devotional book. You go, girl!
