Grown in Faith

While watching my youngest at his swim classes today, I saw a baby being taught how to swim. I was in awe of how well the baby was doing and also how brave the parent was to have their baby start to learn already. Now I’m well aware that early swim lessons are a very…

When I am discouraged and my hope starts to dim I am reminded to focus on Him He is my strength, when I am weak When I need courage, in Him I do seek When I need confidence in my day I know He listens, when I pray When I need joy, in my heart…

On that day, when the Lord comes back to this place I want to know that I ran the good race That my faith didn’t falter, it didn’t grow dim That I kept my heart, focused on Him That He will look at me and say Well done my child, for following my way I…
