Looking for this sapling we had measured in January 2014, the reference point was gone. There was an old sign showing the park boundary. I guess the park had been expanded and workers had taken the sign down. I had made a note of a scar on a tree that was near by. So by criss-crossing the woods I came upon it and from there I was able to find this sapling.
The tree had not grown that much in 4 years. I looked and the tree seems to have an opening in the canopy giving it the opportunity for further growth. This is probably why I chose this tree 4 years ago. It is a healthy tree and I look forward to seeing good growth in the years to come.

We can lose our way at times in life. When we choose the right place to grow problems won't stop our advance.
Psalm 25:4,5 "Make me know Your ways, O Lord;
Teach me Your paths.
5 Lead me in Your truth and teach me,
For You are the God of my salvation;
For You I wait all the day."
Thank you Father, though the Your guidelines may not seem to work at certain points, I trust in You to make a way.
