   Don't we assume that a homeless person or even a very poor person must be spiritually lost to be living this way? Also don't we think that a person with success and money must be walking the righteous path with God and be in His favor to receive such a life? That is not my experience in my own life though. There have been times of abundance in my life, yet I was spiritually lost and floundering for any purpose and meaning. Now I am praying daily and looking to God, yet struggling to pay my bills and to have meaning and direction in my life. One can be found and still struggle.  One can be lost yet still appear to have earthly success.   https://twitter.com/SchulhofSusan https://www.facebook.com/susanmarie.schulhof.7

   What does it mean to walk by faith? Do I read the bible daily? How do I follow Christ? Walking by faith is an individual journey since no one else has the same experiences and circumstances as you do.

I have come to understand that one true fact about life is that everything changes.  https://twitter.com/SchulhofSusan https://www.facebook.com/susanmarie.schulhof.7

"What is in your heart, will be revealed in your words," Bryan Jones, a Pastor at Willow Creek Church, said in a message he gave at Midweek.He spoke about the impact our words have on other people either in a positive or a negative way. I n the bible Jesus says that what you say will reflect what is in your heart. You can't say mean things about or to others and have goodness in your heart. Have goodness so you speak goodness. https://twitter.com/SchulhofSusan https://www.facebook.com/susanmarie.schulhof.7

Excerpt from Growing Flowers Sunday July 31, 2011    I head downstairs and grab a bowl of Apple Jacks, my favorite, as I turn on my computer to see what I missed while I was sleeping when my mom walks in the back door.    “Morning sleepy head,” she laughs.    “What? It is still morning at least,” I respond as I see that it is actually after eleven.    “How late did you stay up last night?”    “I don’t know probably three,” I mumble.    “What did you do that late?” she asks as she pours herself another cup of coffee.    “Look at what everyone, that doesn’t have a curfew, posts about what they are out doing.”    “Oh, sure Lily. I forgot that you are the only one with a curfew.”    “No, just the only college student with a curfew,” I mumble again.    “Come help me in the garden when you finish eating. You used to love helping me in the garden,” she says as she g...
