Grown in Faith

Recently there was a horrible hurricane that came in and caused so much pain and disaster. Some lost their lives, loved one’s lives, some people are still missing. Animals are missing or lost their lives. Many lost their homes and their way of life has been uprooted and so much more devastation. Many are trying…

Sometimes God’s plans look different then our own. Though it may at times not be what we would have picked, He knows what is best; better than we ever will. He sees things that we do not. We need to trust Him always. I remember years ago my husband and I really wanted to buy…

Sometimes as humans we can be too independent. Too self-reliant. We think we can handle things all on our own. It’s good to an extent to be independent. However, sometimes we need to just stop, pray, and surrender completely to God. Yes, we need to do our part. However, we must remember to go to…
