“There is no great loss without some gain.” ~Ma Ingalls, On the Banks of Plum Creek

 

“Analogy comes to mind….This past year, I learned how to cultivate orchids…Before that, orchids would just die on me.  I didn’t know how to keep them alive.  Someone showed me I was watering them too much…They do better when they are in a confined space so their roots are not loosened everywhere…forced to be in a confined space…and where they’re not sitting in water.  They have to be relatively dry.  I feel like an orchid…In a very strange way, I feel like I started to bloom when I was put in this confined space in a seemingly dry condition.  But the dryness was what I needed so my roots don’t get moldy.  Low and behold, that’s when the orchid blooms so that’s how I felt God used 2020 for me in my life.  And I’ve learned so many things.” ~Min Hwang
