Faith is like a little seed

When I was a teenager I did this project for church where I was supposed to plant a seed, take care of it, and then write about how my faith is like a seed.  It seemed like it would be an inspiring project.  I planted my seed, watered it, tended it carefully, and finally it sprouted.  Then it wilted and died.  It made the paper a little difficult to write since I didn't want to write that faith will wilt and die.

Luckily my faith has survived, but we've yet to see if I've developed my green thumb at all.  Isaiah and I planted some flowers last week.  He gets very excited to check them each morning and see if they've sprouted yet (a few have).
