The growing season

Don't you just love Spring time?  Not everyone will agree, but I do love seeing the new green growth from the ground come to life.  I love seeing the tulips budding and hearing the birds chirping.  But, there's another side to spring that is not so pleasant.  And that's allergy season. 

I spent the last week with a multitude of allergy symptoms that just about took me out.  Among all the sneezing, sore throat, coughing episodes I endured, God was there through it all.  As a matter of fact, I learned something.  Trust God, even when things look bad.  God moved my schedule around to where I had time to rest and get well faster.  It wasn't the plans that I had made, but His ended up being much better.

You could say that I grew a little last week.  My faith had a booster shot of confidence.  Confidence that no matter what comes my way, God is faithful to provide.

You see, Christian faith is about trust.  I could have felt sorry for myself last week, and just stayed home all week, missed work and stayed depressed.  Instead, I stepped out in faith, knowing that God had something better for me than that.

Be available to God so He can grow something new in you this week!

Hebrews 11:1 – "Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen."
