Grow or Shrink?

One of the points in tomorrow's lesson plan for Vacation Bible School is God watches over you. The lesson asks if when you experience a time of difficulty does your faith or belief in God shrink or grow? This is an awesome question to me. In the past I feel like difficult times may have shrunk my faith or just pushed it aside. The past year I feel like life has challenged me and in return my faith has grown in so many ways. The past 2 months has been an quiet explosion of faith and God in my life. I have always felt there was a God and in the past few years felt God was present in my life. Now I just feel faith-filled and safe in God's presence. I was glad to volunteer to teach this week at Vacation Bible School. I just never could have guessed I would get so much out of the lessons I was planning.
