Grown in Faith

I had offered some of my favorite fruit covered chocolate candy to my youngest son. While he had reached in the bag with one hand, while holding it with the other; he had spilled. There was a good handful scattered around him on our kitchen floor. I could hear his, “oh no!” from the living…

A man sat down in my chair today at my salon. You could tell he’d been through a lot. Though he looked a little disheveled, his heart was of a humbled man, grateful for second chances. As we talked, I discovered that he had recently been homeless for quite some time. I didn’t ask questions,…

I’m just a traveler, heaven my destination Traveling the world, working on my salvation Life is an adventure, and I know that I’m not alone I know He is with me, until someday He calls me home I pray and I try to live by His word To live by His truth and all that…

Our lives are filled with many chapters. There is good, there is hard, there is a mix of both. Life changes, seasons change. Though no matter what season we are in, we can find comfort that God’s love doesn’t change. He is with us no matter what chapter we’re in. I find my security, my…

We are just on borrowed time. We know not the time or day. Yet, we live like we have forever here on earth; instead of living so we can have a true forever with God. We postpone our faith, as though it can wait. We say we can read the Bible later. That we will…
