~Put all of your eggs in one basket~

This Sunday in Relief Society, our teacher asked us to find a scripture story where we could see the hand of God in the lives of the people. I immediately thought of 1 Nephi 18:24 it says,

 "And it came to pass that we did begin to till the earth, and we began to plant seeds; yea, we did put all our seeds into the earth, which we had brought from the land of Jerusalem. And it came to pass that they did grow exceedingly; wherefore, we were blessed in abundance."

When she asked who wanted to share a few girls raised their hands. They shared stories where angels appeared to the people and many other similar stories. They were all very very good choices and I felt silly for the one that I had chosen.

It is a simple scripture about planting seeds, but when I read it I feel that there is great significance in the words. They planted all of their seeds, not withholding even one. And they all grew. So many things could have happened to those seeds. There is the possibility that they couldn't grow in foreign soil or that those types of plants couldn't grow in that particular area of the world or that it rained too much or that animals came and ate the seeds. So many things could have happened. Yet, they grew.

Now I put this question to you, do you put ALL of your faith in God? I have heard the saying that goes "Don't put all of your eggs in one basket". I don't believe in this saying. I am putting my life in Gods hands, because I know that He will make more of my life then I ever possibly could. I know that as I do this and as I plant the seeds in my life, He will make them grow. Just as He made their seeds grow.
