Grown in Faith

When I was quite young, my older brother who was just a couple of years older than myself, were out for one of our bike rides. Though I’m not sure exactly how it happened, I had managed to ride my bike downhill and right into a pricker bush. I was covered in prickers and crying.…

I read something somewhere recently that had really stuck out to me. I do not recall whom said it. It was something along the lines that when asked if their cup was half full, or half empty, the person replied that they were happy just to have a cup. That was humbling to me. We…

I love birds, for many reasons. The way that they sing their beautiful melodies, their peaceful presence, their funny antics. Though something unique about them, is how they help spread seeds. In doing so, sometimes random flowers and plants will pop up. I have reaped the benefit of this at times. I currently have a…

I love watching my husband be a dad. He is not my children’s biological dad, although, he still loves them all the same. Now my boys do have a good biological dad too. However, our boys are blessed to have two dad’s that love them tremendously. Though, I must say it is a privilege watching…

I love my children so deeply. I pray for them daily. I do what I can to give them the best, safest, life possible. Although I know I can’t be with them every second and I can’t protect them from everything. Though I feel a sense of peace knowing that God can. That He covers…

I don’t recall my age, though I know I was quite small My youth group instructor had a song meant for us all “This little light of mine, I’m going to let it shine” We sang with a great cause We sang it loud and clear I’m sure it rang throughout the halls I remember…
