Stand Up...

I took this picture at the Golden Gate Garden Park in Ballard, WA. It stood out to me because it was just one little tree standing alone in the middle of a pond with all the other trees trying to fade into the background. It reminds me a little of what I learned in church this morning. We all have a mission. What is that mission you ask? That mission is to stand up for your faith, rights, beliefs, etc. and bring others to the glory of God. Shine your light. Live according to the gospel. Always be ready to give an answer for Christ's account. Stand up when nobody else will. Don't be conformed to the ways of the world and get swept away by the beliefs of this day and age. Don't try and fade into the background, but be brave and stand out no matter what people might do or say about you. Lead by example. Actions speak louder than words. You are in the missionfield. Ready...Set...Go...
