Cedar Trees

A couple of days ago a friend was telling me what he learnt about the cedar tree.

Apparently the Cedar grows slowly in the first 10 or so years. During this time, it is building it's root. It is searching for the underground water table. When it's foundation set, boom, it grows. Tall. I haven't been able to verify this from sites in the internet, if someone could help that would be great.

But what I did find what that the Cedar of Lebanon can only bear fruit to reproduce at about 25 to 30 years old. It grows better in mountanious region, it gives better wood. The ones used for Solomon Temples are these types. (http://www.2020site.org/trees/lebanon.html)

I heard that, (another myth?? please help verfiy), some bamboos also grow very slowly at first. Until the roots are firm, boom, it shoots up real fast.

Learning from nature, building roots and foundation is slow, grueling and no fun. On site, it's also difficult to impress the clients after the foundation is laid. Visually, there's 'nothing' to be seen. But everyone know how crucial foundations are in building. So it is the word of God, in the foundation of our lives.

Visually, there's 'nothing' to be seen.

However, when it starts to grow... BOOM. The same forces/principle of physics that can topple a building is keeping it up. The forces remains the same. But the building just got higher.

Life is the same thing, govern by God's principals. Don't believe me. Try it. It either pulls u down or push u up.

I pray that I'm growing and maturing, by growing deeper with the knowledge, experience...etc of Him and His love.
