Oh, the fruit!

God continually amazes me!
In a time of life that is so full of change and ripe with new and exciting things, my life has also had a lot of complicated and confusing things going on...
Things that can leave a person feeling wilted, withered and at times not even fruit bearing - meaning having no purpose, no point, no reward/return/growth.
So this being said, about two weeks ago we started to notice the green bulbs on our peach tree were actually getting quite large and turning more yellow than green. Within the last few days, we've picked over a dozen beautiful peaches - and consumed about half of them. Oh so very tasty! These are the first fruits for this tree. Though it can look sad and thirsty some days, it has flourished here with us.
For me, this experience was just a reminder that often times fruit can go unnoticed until it's there. It comes in rainy seasons and dry seasons. It comes when things are going good and when things are going bad. It ALL comes from God, and He is always fruitful.
Below I've attached a few pictures of our pickings and our tree.
