Grown in Faith

Wouldn’t it be great, wouldn’t it be grand If we all just trusted, in God’s plan That we were all in, that we didn’t hesitate Trusting in God, that He won’t procrastinate That He has got it all sorted out His way That He works for our good, everyday If we only trusted more in…

He carried me through all the trials of my life. He was there in my hard, my loneliness, my uncertainty. God has been there for me when I was young and I didn’t realize just how much He was working in my life. He was there for me in the times where I cried out…

My youngest son needed help with something recently. In my honesty, I told him I didn’t think that I could do it. Though he had complete confidence that I could. So, with a prayer I did my best to help him; by God’s grace, I was able to! It got me thinking about how we…
