Five Minute Friday: Growing

As I start my clock for my 5 minutes I want to share this quote with you…
“God gives you grace to live through the processes of change that are necessary so that his grace can do in you what it’s promised to do.” Paul Tripp
Growing…man, what a topic for me right now.
I have watched my son grow the last 3 months into an adorable little guy. He has grown so fast…It was almost exactly a year ago that I found out I was pregnant with him. I have grown into the role of mother and learned that it isn’t always easy to make decisions that affect a little child.
Another area I have grown in is my walk with God…There is a little boy depending on me to teach him about God. I can’t believe how often I take control…I need to grow closer to the Lord and I need to teach Jacob how to grow close to Him.
Growing isn’t always easy…I have had struggles in my personal life and I have watched my son adjust to a life that is all new to him. He makes me smile as he grows and discovers things that we take for granted like his hands.
Thank you, Lord, for growth in our lives!
Well, that is my five minutes…won’t you join me in taking five minutes to reflect on life?

Love the examples of growth you shared here. Beautiful post!
