Wow, once again taking words straight from my heart that I didn't even know were there until I read yours. You have a beautiful way of describing things. Walking right alongside you and trying to remember to tend to the weeds.

Ugh, those nasty weeds we ignore and they just get bigger and then finally we realize we have to do the hard work of acknowledging them and pulling them out. It's very unglamorous but so necessary for joy. Thanks for this picture Stacy! It's very convicting! Which is good 😊

Thanks so much, Kym!! And the bigger they get, the harder they are to pull. Oof.

The weed analogy is so so good. And the Garbage file makes me laugh.

Thank you! And I often like to go dumpster diving in the Garbage file for stories. 😆

I loved this so much. I too have let weeds fester in my life. Thank you for being so open and vulnerable. I love your writing.

Oh thank you. I appreciate that! Weeds grow easier than I would like. 🥲

I loved this Stacy. Maybe it's because I was weeding my perennial garden with my son two days ago talking about this very thing (we chatted about how sin was like weeds, that we have to get on top of it or it will take over), but this absolutely resonated with me <3. Thank you for your vulnerability here. "Bitterness does not need much water to grow." amen and amen. Praying that as you tend to your weeds, your piece will find a home. Wherever it ends up, I can't wait to read what you have to say.
