Grown in Faith

People will form their own opinions about who they think we are. How easy it is to label someone based on what we think we know. Maybe it is their education, their wealth, title, popularity or fame. Although I have learned in life that it is truly in their character what makes a person great.…

Yesterday morning did not quite go as we had planned. Our dog had woken up sick. So naturally, I was sad and incredibly worried. We started praying and headed to the veterinarian’s office. We discovered the issue and she was treated appropriately and with love. Currently she is healing on her medicine. I am grateful…

I had a project to complete the other day, although I must admit I was traveling down unknown territory. I was not quite sure how I was going to complete the task. I realized if I stood any chance of completing it, I must go to God in prayer for His help. After I was…
