Grown in Faith

There are days when I miss my children being little. Although I wouldn’t change their stages now, I sometimes long for their littleness. The way they clung to me and thought I was still funny. The way that they needed me. Although they still very much do, the dynamic has changed. This isn’t a bad…

Sometimes in our messy headspace we forget about all of our blessings. It is easy to lose sight of everything that God has given us, if we’re only focusing on the difficult. Friend, things are not always easy, but may we be reminded to keep our eyes fixed on God and all that he has…

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…

I’m not a perfect mom. I have made my share of mistakes and I’m sure that I’ll make more. Although I will do my best, as I know they are truly a gift from God. All children are. Although my biggest goal above anything else, is to teach them about their Lord and Savior. It…

I am reminded frequently of how God is the ultimate healer and has the ultimate say. I read an article today about a baby that would be born very unwell.

We as humans can be hard on ourselves at times. We may do our absolute best, and still hold ourselves to impossible standards. There may be days where we can really do awesome! Other days, where all we can offer is the best that we’re able to give, that day. I live with a physical…
