Grown in Faith

I enjoy looking at paintings. There are so many beautiful ones. Portraits, nature, abstract and the like. All different forms of mediums used, in different arrays of color. Though I always wondered how their worth is decided. Who can say that one painting is worth little, while another is worth much. Especially being that the…

I watched a video where a little girl got a prosthetic leg. She eagerly went to school to show all of her friends and classmates. Many of the children ran to the little girl excitedly in celebration. They hugged her, ran with her, cheered for her. I dare say they were just as happy as…

We lost power today. Ultimately, for only a very short bit. Though it was a quick reminder of how much I had taken it for granted. Suddenly I was worried about the food going bad in my fridge, my house staying warm, being able to cook food, having light, doing school work and getting laundry…

I wish at times I was perfect, at times I try to be Then imperfection, seems to get ahold of me I catch myself not living up to my best Putting myself in my own little mess Not living fully to the person, I should be Somehow sin gets the best of me I am…
