Grown in Faith

Video games, basketball and playing outside with my children. Dinner with our favorite homemade pizza. Movie night and time together, with my husband. Playing ball with my dog, laughing at my animal’s silliness and snuggling with them. These may appear as small things. However, to my family and I; they are anything but. These moments…

Music is a special gift. Whether gifted in it ourselves or just having the privilege of enjoying it. I have always found it quite remarkable how even those in which have Alzheimer’s or dementia, many are still able to retain music. Some can still play their favorite instrument, long after they have forgotten much. Many…

The brain is a magnificent organ. It controls everything in our body. It tells our hearts when to beat, our lungs how to breathe, our body how to move. It is complex and intricate. Only God truly knows all that it is capable of. We must be careful how we nurture our minds. If we…

Yet, somewhere between determination and exhaustion was perseverance and joy. For my husband and I were completing a project together and as we prayed God…

My husband and I recently watched a faith-based documentary. Many people were put to death for their faith. For defending the Bible and striving to live out His word. We live in a society that has a tendency where many bend, to appease the majority. They change His word, to fit their desires. They live…

As I look outside, the grass in my yard is green and neatly trimmed. The tress are full and vibrant. The flowers on my plant are blooming the best that they have all year. Nature is lively and blooming. Although in its beauty I think of the rain that drenched the ground below it. I…

There we stood, my youngest son and I. An adventure awaiting in front of us; for a big waterpark was inviting us in. There were water slides I had never experienced before and my son had found a way to convince me to give them a go. We spent hours at the waterpark exploring all…

There is no denying the fact that this is election year. It is a popular subject and many people have their opinions. I am not here to say who should or should not get voted in for presidency. That’s between you, your research, your conscience and God. I am however here to say that just…
