We are growing!

Our little family is growing...

NOT in number--- NOT in babies, but in our hearts! It's so exciting!

Seeds have been planted and continue to be planted as we water, weed out, water some more, weed some more and more.... and more!

There is EVIDENCE of this growth and that happens to be SMALL VICTORIES that I can easily overlook in an instant. I tend to want the "big things" and I want the big struggles to be gone. I am realizing that the small victories are really huge.

God's helping me "clean house."

In my heart.

And because He's sweeping out some corners and doing some spring cleaning I can "see" growth more clearly in me and my family.

I've had to admit weakness and failure, deep rooted junk that has a foothold on me and ask for prayer. That's not easy for me, but it's a step in the right direction. When we are weak, we are strong, right?

1 Corinthians 3:6-7 was so encouraging to me today: I planted, Apollos watered, but God was causing the growth. So then neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but God who causes the growth.

Lord, help me to apply Your Word to my life as You keep cleaning house in my heart. Help me not to give up, help me to keep my eyes on You and have Your mind and Your love in all that I do. Thank You for this growth and the little victories along the way.
