Considering The Lilies

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been anxious about something. I can still feel the weight of worry from my earliest fears - believing every night I would get sucked down the pipes along with dirty, draining bath water.

Crisis of Faith and Sufficient Grace

Faith Praises God As Giver

We focus on what we have, what we don't have, and how and when God is going to give us what we need. This the opposite of faith.
