Grown in Faith

I love yellow roses. They are my very favorite. Although, there is also a special place in my heart for dandelions. Despite what many believe, thinking their weeds, they are indeed flowers. Ones that even have a purpose to help feed the bees, which we all need bees. They also have many health benefits to…

As I am writing this I am thinking about my afternoon. It was just a tough afternoon. I felt very overwhelmed and was just stressed out. With that being said, my emotions got bigger than planned and self-pity began to seep in. I got caught in my mess of the moment and let it rule…

In life when I don’t know what to do Lord, I put my trust in you  When I’m not sure exactly what to say I find my words, when I pray  When things seem out of my control I find my peace, in You who makes me whole When at times I don’t understand I…
