My Faith Journey

On Throwback Thursdays, I’d like to share a bit of my faith journey with you. When I was a child, my family did not regularly attend worship services.

Oh, we went to Easter Sunrise Services and sometimes to Christmas Eve services, but that was about it.

Fortunately, I had grandmothers who prayed.

They were the first who influenced my future relationship with God.

What about you? Who were the people who first influenced you? Were you a child or an adult? I’d love to hear about your faith journey.

The Winter of Our Souls

Winter is nearly over. Nature already shows signs of approaching spring and we anxiously await the hoped for new growth. No matter how long or dreary winter may seem, we always know that spring will arrive, eventually.


But what about the winters of our souls? What about those times we feel distant from God and disconnected spiritually? How do we create spring in our souls?

One thing that helps me to reconnect with God is long walks outdoors. The nature trails nearby remind me of the majesty and beauty of His creation and allow me to bask in His presence.

What about you? How do you encourage new spiritual growth during the winter of your soul?
