Grown in Faith

I have come to learn that fear is a lack of surrendering to God and the want of ourselves having too much control over our lives. In the thought process of fear, we seem to forget that God has the control ultimately, and it is a good thing that He does. We are human and…

We have been working with our boys about good communication. What that looks like and how to do it. I will admit we too sometimes forget as parents; but we do our best and we want our children to learn how to effectively have conversations and be good communicators. It is a learning process, especially…

Everything rides on faith Believing in what is said All the promises written All that has been read Knowing that He is faithful He is just and He is kind So many thanks to God So many thanks I can find Everything rides on hope What the good Lord can do, Knowing He loves and…
