Because of our impatience, our wanting things done in our own timing, we are constantly trying to write our own story. Is it because we believe that we can do better than Yahweh/GOD? We can't, ya know. We don't see through HIS Eyes! We can't know what HE knows! HIS Ways are so much greater than ours!
It's time for us to "Just Be Still" and allow HIM to work in our lives, on our behalf, and for our benefit. Stay in prayer, Beloved!! I know there's a Wonderful ending...because HE's Promised us that...
GOD is still writing your story. Stop trying to steal the pen...
Shalom <3

In Genesis 30, Jacob put sticks of poplar, chestnut, & almond in his sheeps' water to encourage breeding, especially of speckled sheep. Why these 3 trees?
I've heard that the Greeks associated poplar with paradise, only poplar was allowed to be burned on Zeus' altar, and the Celts associated poplar with fertility. It is mentioned in Hosea 4:13 as a favored shade tree for certain rituals. Its leaves are green on top, white beneath, presenting a high contrast, possibly related to the speckled nature of the sheep Jacob wanted.
Some cultures have associated the chestnut with enhanced male fertility and libido. It thrives in poor soil and grows quickly, so it could also be associated with heartiness.
Aaron carried a staff of almond, and it blossomed and bore fruit as proof of God's anointing (Num 17:8) and Jacob renamed the place of his stairway dream from "Almond" to "House of God".
