Desert flower

I am learning to be a desert flower.
Yesterday, while in prayer, a beautiful flower came to mind. It is one of those greenish purple succulents that seem to just thrive in the desert...living as it were, on sunlight and little else. I found myself praying as I saw that image, that the Lord would make me a desert flower. Strange request? Perhaps. But it seems appropriate for my circumstances.

Why not just bloom where I'm planted?
Why wait for Africa or India?
Paris or Morocco?


Seattle is a great place to feed and grow.
