"God never places us in any position in which we can not grow. We may fancy that He does. We may fear we are so impeded by fretting , petty cares that we are gaining nothing; but when we are not sending any branches upward, we may be sending roots downward. Perhaps in the time of our humiliation, when everything seems a failure, we are making the best kind of progress."
- Elizabeth Prentiss
"Christ values us by what we shall be, and by what we are elected unto. We call a little plant a tree, because it is growing up to be so."
- Richard Sibbes "The Bruised Reed"

SOOO good! Thank you for sharing!!!
Amanda,
I wanted to say I LOVED the video of Sydney and Noey with their microphones! And I loved seeing you and Miss Lizzy (she is adorable!)
It made me miss you guys so much. The kids are growing up so much!
I am thinking of you guys.
Much Love and Missing,
Courtney
