Ann Voskamp writes in her book, One Thousand Gifts, "I may have always known that change takes real intentionality, like a woman bent over her garden beds every day with a spade and the determined will to grow up something good to strengthen the heart."
Something good to strengthen the heart. That is exactly what this plant does for my heart every day. The new leaf that is growing in the spot of the old leaf is now larger than any of the leaves next to it. It is actually rubbing against the others, fighting for space and a place where it, too, can receive light.
