Grown in Faith

About a week ago or so, I had mistakenly left my beautiful hanging flower basket outside during a storm. The storm came in the middle of the night and by the time I realized it, some of my flowers had been destroyed and were filled with far too much water. I felt so bad about…

I needed a time out. Not because I was in trouble, but because I didn’t want to be. I knew that I needed a minute to cool down and process my thoughts and my big feelings. For it is wiser to walk away, gain our composure, and spend some time with God before reacting with…

I heard an incredible story today!  A man had taken a wrong turn and ended up where he wasn’t expected. Although his wrong turn, was God’s intervention. For this man ended up witnessing a house on fire. He immediately sprang into action, running around the house banging on windows to alert anyone who may have…

In the Bible, Lot’s wife looked back. She didn’t trust God and what He had in store for her ahead. She was too caught up in her past, that her looking back ultimately cost her, her life. Now we might not lose our life from looking back at hard things in our past, but it…
