We can't always choose our circumstances. Things just happen. They can be easy or hard depending on the situation. We aren't able to decide the easy or the hard, so when it's hard, we may get angry, hurt, sad, and even confused. We may even take it out on others, later, regretting our actions. We could've been scared, unsure, or helpless. We reacted.
Some time may pass, and the circumstances haven't changed much. You might still feel frustrated. Nothing makes sense. At that moment, things may not be discernable. You soon realize that what you're going through won't change, or at least, change yet. You're stuck, but a sense of understanding happens. You think it through. You've come to accept.
You've just sprouted within a cherry tree stump. It may not seem like the most ideal place to grow, but it's where you've been placed. Sometimes we have to accept what's been given to us. You have to learn how to live with the circumstances surrounding you. They may all be difficult, but you're strong enough to weather the storm. With God, you'll be okay.
God has placed you exactly where you need to be. With Him, you're more than equipped to sustain the wind, the insects, and any hardship. You may be stuck in a tree stump, but you have what's necessary to grow. God will provide for you as you take on life's challenges. You'll never be thirsty or hungry - His spirit will sustain you. All you have to do is grow.
Grow where you're planted.
"The righteous person will flourish like the palm tree, He will grow like a cedar in Lebanon." - Psalm 92:12 NASB

This is beautiful. I know your words have been tested in the harsh ground of life and sprung from the deep roots you have in Jesus. It's such an honor to witness God's love and protection over you through the storms...and His anointing upon you as you reach toward the Light. You have much to share, and I'm eager to hear more!
