Hopeful Harvest Acres
by Abby Warden
As a wife, mother, friend, but most importantly believer, growing in my faith, I find the joy of working with my hands in the garden and around my home. “Trust God” is a simple statement to say, but when faced with trials of this life, will our faith stand? The greatest work we have as believers is to grow into the likeness of God. This is done through the sanctifying work of The Holy Spirit. In a culture that shouts so loudly against God's Word, let us stand together for truth and strive to carry His Word out each day in our own lives. My hope is that you will always leave here encouraged.
