Grown in Faith

I saw this quote by Corrie Ten boom today; “If the devil cannot make us bad, he will make us busy.” I can see so much truth in her statement. We may be doing our best to live righteously, but then we can also fall into this pattern of nonstop busyness. We get too busy…

It is amazing what we can accomplish when we work together. My husband, our youngest son and myself had recently had a big project to complete. We realized as we began, just how much there was to do. Though day by day, bit by bit, and prayer, we stuck to it. God even sent us…

Sometimes in life, we feel stretched thin A reminder that, we must always focus on Him Life will at times tug and pull Only in God are we made whole We cannot do it all on our own We must remember, His love that is shown He is there with us, in the smooth and…
