I needed divine direction. I knew raising boys was work, but I wasn't prepared for this. I was a single Christian mom in a difficult financial situation. I thought I was going to lose my mind; my child, and my faith. I was struggling in every sense-emotionally, financially, and worst of all I scared to death that I was going to lose my son. One evening, as I lay crying, God spoke to me. He encouraged me to be strong. And in response to my desperate plea for help, He lead me to the Parable of the Sower. Let this book minister to your spirit. If this message is for you, it will bless you in ways you cannot imagine.
I'd read Mark 4:1-20 many times before and thought I understood if completely. But God showed me otherwise. What He taught me as I gardened and attempted to revive my Texas lawn during the worst drought in history, changed my life forever. He showed me that His word is seed. And His seed knows its purpose. But only when we sow the word correctly will we reap the benefits and see our prayers answered and breakthroughs manifested. The word of God is the seed. Over the course of time,God taught me to use the tools that He'd already given me: prayer, fasting, journal-writing, devotion, and declaring the word. Those tools, to name a few, are tools of Faith readily available to all of us.
