Grown in Faith

He brings me flowers, to show that he cares. He shows up when I need him and he stands beside me, through it all. He tells me I’m beautiful, when I don’t look my best. He acts as though I’m funnier than I actually am. He encourages me to chase my dreams and helps me…

There are many versions of the Bible. Which is ok. Some make understanding the Bible easier, which is great! However, it becomes problematic when His word gets twisted. There are those in which like to post specific scripture verses, interpreted in their own context. Though they are not always biblically sound. Recently, there has been…

I do not know what tomorrow may bring, though I know that God has got a plan I know that He holds my tomorrows And that He understands He knows all my fears, worries, doubts All the things that consume my mind When life makes me uncertain It’s peace in Him, I find When this…

“Mom, can you pray for me?” My youngest son asked me this the other day, as he was scared about something. It makes my heart happy to know that when my son is afraid, his first thought is to go to God. It is a great reminder that anytime we feel fear, we must go…

We live in a society where there are those that mock God. They mock our beliefs as Christians and being followers of God. They mock our faith. They mock the Bible. They mock our beliefs in Jesus and what He did for us. As Christians it is hard to not be angry. Though our feelings…

I was being pretty critical of myself the other day. I complained to my husband how much my appearance, mainly my body, has changed. After reassuring me that I was still beautiful, it was his words next that hit me harder. He said, “you’re alive.” See, over the last couple of years I have had…
