Grown in Faith

   God is good. For many years I had dreamed of being an author. Since I was a teenager, I have had a passion for writing. Though I did not know if it could be a possibility for me. For many years I worked as a cosmetologist, though it was writing that I really wanted…

When I was recently admitted to the hospital, again, my husband reminded me deeply of his love. We had just made it into triage at the ER, and I fainted, leaning into him. He held me close. When I came to a little more shortly after, He was still holding me. It took a little…

The birds how they sing Such a beautiful melody Reminds me of the love God gives to me All the critters, how they scurry How they move about too Oh, the beauty of nature So lovely and true Flowers how they bloom The sun how it shines Reminds me of the beauty That Grows in…

“I’ll pray for you.” A frequented shared sentiment in my life lately. As loved ones, I hold dear to my heart, offer the only thing that they can. The best thing that they truly can give. Their faith in God and His healing power, as they go to Him in prayer for me. For when…
