Grown in Faith

We had a big storm roll though and wound up losing power. Our house got very hot, the food in the fridge and freezer went bad and my husband and I got ready for work with little light. Though, I’m feeling very grateful. We didn’t have damage in our yard, our home, and most of…

At baseball, a little boy runs with a small umbrella in his hands. A flying ball almost lands directly atop his head, if that very umbrella didn’t shield him. On the way home a deer runs out in front of my new driver, he’s able to stop, just in time. There are so many instances…

I am learning that if something is meant to be for me, it will. God will provide, sort it out and make it happen. If not, it is only because He is looking out for my good and has other plans for me. Though letting go and giving up control is not always an easy…

I recently had felt a little discouraged about something. Though I didn’t make a big deal about it, it did bother me. However, sometime shortly after, I was encouraged by some lovely people.

Slow dances in the living room, singing together, sharing parts of our hearts only we know. Crying together, laughing together, being unapologetically authentic with each other. Raising children together. Reading His word, praying together, and walking with God together. Building a life together as it shapes us into the people God had in mind and…
