Good Morning!  Thanks for stopping by for your weekly {Shot of Espresso}

I want us to take a look at overcoming the "tough spots" in our lives.  I was so blessed by last weeks {Shot} that as I prayed about this weeks, one song came to mind..."I am a seed."  This is a relatively new song, it is off the new David Crowder Band CD.  But let's have a look shall we?

Oh I've been pushed down into the ground
Oh how I've been trampled down
So many feet on top of me
I can't help but sink, sink, sink

Oh I've been pushed down into the ground
Oh how I have been trampled down
Lord I put my trust in thee
You won't turn your back on me

Oh I am a seed
Oh I am a seed
I've been pushed down into the ground
But i will rise up a tree

Oh I can see it won't be long
Till I break free from what I was
Your river of grace flows endlessly
You won't turn your back on me

Oh I am a seed
Oh I am a seed
I've been pushed down into the ground
But i will rise up a tree

I've been burned up in so many fires
From these ashes I will rise
Lord your power has rescued me
For you I'll always sing

Oh I am a seed
Oh I am a seed
I've been pushed down into the ground
But I will rise up a tree

Oh I am a seed
Oh I am a seed
Won't stay long here in this earth
When you rain your love on me
Lord, rain your love on me 

James 1:12 says, "Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him." 

So many times we feel like a "seed" being pushed down and pushed down...but I want to challenge you today to remember that a seed grows into a tree!  And that tree bears fruit!  It is so important for us to remember even in the tough times that God is watering us and sometimes even protecting us from "the elements."  

So if you are soaking up the sun today or weathering a storm...just remember that God is in control...and he is giving us exactly what we need to grow us into the trees he created us to be!  

Be proud to be a seed today!
