sing like wildflowers

My full and kooky life as a homeschooling mommy to 2 great kids, raising a child with HLHS (Hypolastic Left Heart Syndrome), coping with depression, following Jesus, and being much too camera happy.

Why does faith grow smaller when you need it to grow bigger during stressful times?!

You look at the situation and wonder how it will get better. I know it’ll work out in the long term but it’s difficult to see a way out of the immediate challenge. Will tomorrow be different? Be better?

Thoughts from a worried mom: at a hospital bedside.

“If you believe in a God who controls the big things, you have to believe in a God who controls the little things. It is we, of course, to whom things look ‘little’ or ‘big.’”

    Sweetheart, I can imagine no greater test of faith than watching your little one in such distress. Praying they find answers soon.

      Thank you, Jo!! My emotions are all over the place; breaking for the sick one at the hospital and breaking for the one at home.

    Faith doesn’t grow smaller, it maybe just feels that way in our natural minds, but in the Spirit, in tough stressful times you are growing, and watch —- your faith is about to move mountains 🙏♥️🙏
