boy… 72 days of blogging…11 days in.
and I believe I am experiencing growing pains…i am…growing in faith. really? all of this. years of this. just growing my faith?
because years ahead He knew what was coming…maybe?
The girls are busy bee’s with pen and paper scribbling down ways to make money for their clubhouse. Today’s scribble became a reality.
Nervously..expectantly she watches as a car comes toward them.
I .. a week and one half into settled … now have been stirred. I too – expectantly believe.
Squeels of glee their eyes shining… say to mommies watching on… we made another 1.00!
and as my soul and flesh wrestle..once again awakened to reality
I am faced again with the biggest choice … the biggest leap of faith I have ever been asked to make
the choice of bread with strife or poverty with peace
and this sweet little guy says..take my picture and I can’t help but be drawn in by his zest for life
where does that childlike faith go?
Life moves on in the midst of lemonade stands. Child like faith believes.
For this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: There will always be plenty of flour and oil left in your containers until the time
when the LORD sends rain and the crops grow again!” I Kings 17:14
Do I believe He is big enough and the real question is do I trust Him
to supply the flour and oil? He says the crops will grow again…
there is a way… I say
do you find times in your life when the growing pains are pains of faith? where your faith is being stretched? did you ever build a lemonade stand as a child? XO~
I LOVE this!!! The pictures are great! A childlike faith… its so easy. Even the teacher/parent can learn from her pupil/child. Thank you for sharing! I look forward to the next 61 days!
I need that Child-Like Faith, I crave it, I want to live it. Thank for posting this
awww…love it
love this. no we lived in the boonies. never had a stand, but i am daily stretched and pulled. waiting for the oil and flour… HE NEVER FAILS.
I just read a piece by Elizabeth Berg in a women's magazine about never passing up the chance to buy lemonade from a kid during the summer. I think she was getting at the same thing–nurture that child-like faith (before it turns to teenage cynicism). Beautiful pics. Wish I could stop by and buy a glass.
Yes and yes! Growing pains are hard. Lemonade stands as a child…the best! Keep growing and stretching, girl! You'll be long and lean and deep in your faith on the other side of these pains.
Xo,

This made me smiley, and teary all at the same time! I love you dearest Tiffi!!!! I don't think God allows a single trying time that is without the purpose of stretching our faith dear sister! He's growing you girl…and sheaves of blessing and going to burst forth! Love love love and hugs!!!
Ahhh, lemonade stand. Yes, it does bring back memories. Memories of having a lemonade stand myself and my mom tying my ankle to a tree in the front yard so no one would kidnap me. It was so fun. Yet so constricting.
