Gracefully Grow
The amazing journey of three young women blazing the path of faith.
As young adults we can get so caught up with our family and academics. Especially in college, as it is harder to stand firm in our faith because we are exposed to “the real world.” How do we know who to trust and who to believe in? Despite the ways of the world, our loving Father has everything perfectly planned out for us.
We were mid-way in our first semester at college and we were each in completely different situations, but we were all brought together by our creator, Jesus Christ. It’s funny how our instagram page, Gracefully Grow started out as an account that was only going to be based on life-hacks for women. However, when planning our platform, we were struggling to deepen our faith, so just when our instagram page was about to go live, we all felt a missing piece. Before hitting create, God spoke to us. We realized that if we were struggling in our personal relationship with the Lord, then there must be others too. Therefore, we changed our intention and decided that to be God’s servants, we need to share the Gospel and remind others of the Good News as it is for everyone to hear.
Nonetheless, it can be hard to find the inspiration to post especially because we’re facing trials of our own. However, the Lord is so powerful and alive that He gives us the wisdom and counsel we need to share His word. To make the Reign of God a reality, we need to do God’s work. We are in this together and need to grow spiritually and deepen our well of faith as “with God’s grace we walk in victory!”
May everyone around your table this Thanksgiving give thanks to our Lord for the many blessings HE has bestowed on you and yours.
A veteran is someone who has served and is no longer serving in the military. To all our veterans here at Saint Stephens and in our own families, we salute YOU!
November the month of Remembrance…
Who do you remember?
When I was in high school, I was in a youth group, those years greatly impacted my life. Being in a church environment, brought me closer to God and my church. It is true that “young people are more likely to gain a sense of identity in the community if they are regarded as full-fledged members”. (Renewing the vision) Now in my 31st year of youth ministry, my vision for the youth is to make sure God is the center and focus of their lives. Our goal is to invest our time, attention and resources in our youth.
