Growing pains...

I am reminded daily that I still have alot of growing to do. I am so stubborn and want to do things my way. It never turns out right when I lean on my own strength. NEVER.

Through watching a family go through the worst kind of tradgedy, and still remain standing in the faith they have proclaimed over the years, I am reminded that even though I have so far to go...I am headed in the right direction. The effort is worth it and the prize is waiting for me at the end.

Just like a baby taking it's first steps, I fall down often. I scrap my knees. It's part of growing. But no matter how many times I fail, I will never stop trying. I am His and He is there for me, giving me strength and encouragement.

And that is what it's all about.
