Growth

Growing is hard work. It's something we all need to do, yet fight it every chance we get. L is fighting growing up. She wants to remain 5 years old for the rest of her life (she's 9). I'm not sure I want her to grow up so fast either. M expels so much energy that I believe he grows two inches in his sleep (maybe not really but boy has he changed in the last 3 years). L2's growth is incredible. In the three months that we have had her, she has gone from 12 pounds to over 17 pounds. She has increased at least two inches in length and has learned to crawl and walk. All these have been achieved with a lot of hard work and prayer.

Then comes my growth; sometimes, I feel so stunted in my spiritual growth. Sometimes, I grow so much so fast that I'm overwhelmed. I don't always like my growing (especially right now when my weight is increasing instead of decreasing - too much stress eating). Other times I seek out growth. I'm rambling now....what was the point I was trying to make? Growth is something that occurs in all of us. We are to seek it, measure it, and praise the Lord for it! I'm growing and changing every day. How about you?
