funny i havent received any mail from huitze for a loooooong time..and suddenly i get one..and this is wad its about..i choose not to think tt it was by chance..

One day I decided to quit...I quit my job, myrelationship, my spirituality... I wanted to quit mylife. I went to the woods to have one last talk withGod. "God", I said. "Can you give me one good reasonnot to quit?" His answer surprised me... "Look around", He said. "Do you see the fern and thebamboo?""Yes", I replied. "When I planted the fern and the bamboo seeds, I tookvery good care of them. I gave them light. I gave themwater. The fern quickly grew from the earth. Itsbrilliant green covered the floor. Yet nothing camefrom the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on thebamboo. In the second year the Fern grew more vibrantand plentiful. And again, nothing came from the bambooseed. But I did not quit on the bamboo." He said. "In year three there was still nothing from the bambooseed. But I would not quit. In year four, again, therewas nothing from the bamboo seed. I would not quit."He said. "Then in the fifth year a tiny sprout emerged from theearth. Compared to the fern it was seemingly small andinsignificant...But just 6 months later the bamboorose to over 100 feet tall. It had spent the fiveyears growingroots. Those roots made it strong and gave it what itneeded to survive. I would not give any of mycreations a challenge it could not handle." He said tome. "Did you know, my child, that all this time you havebeen struggling, you have actually been growingroots?" "I would not quit on the bamboo. I will never quit onyou.""Don't compare yourself to others." He said. "Thebamboo had a differentpurpose than the fern. Yet they both make the forestbeautiful.""Your time will come", God said to me. "You will risehigh" "How high should I rise?" I asked."How high will the bamboo rise?" He asked in return."As high as it can?" I questioned"Yes." He said, "Give me glory by rising as high asyou can."

thank You God
