Lately I’ve been making observations about weeds. Have you noticed that weeds suck the nutrients out of whatever they are next to?  A beautiful garden with weeds will eventually take over and use all the nutrients that are needed for the flowers.

Just as weeds drown the life from plants, we can have weeds in our lives. People or things that drain us and keep us from moving forward. The sooner we can identify those things that take away from us, the sooner we can make progress.

Take a moment and make a list of things that are keeping you from moving forward and make a commitment to remove them. Take the necessary action to uproot the weeds and plant the things that will give you life.
