Still Growing

Today we went shopping for a black vest for Drew. He has an upcoming special day and needed to be dressed up, no problem we thought he has those things including a vest. Well when he tries everything on low and behold the vest is way too small!! The change in one year was dramatically seen when he put it on and his tie hung out the bottom and about and inch of shirt showed between pants and vest.

It got me thinking about our spiritual growth. Sometimes we grow like Hannah (2 inches a month), and sometimes we grow like Drew did (2 inches in a year). When we can see the dramatic changes,we feel good about where we are with God. But more often than not the growth is the slow and steady kind that you don't really notice unless you try to fit in where you were last year.

It was a good reminder for me that the slow and steady growth changes you too. That I am being MADE into what He wants me to be, it is not an overnight thing, it is a continual process till we see Him face to face. Praise God, He is not finished with me yet!!

Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts. (Psalm 65:4a)
