Growing My Faith at ALC

I woke up this morning and looked outside, surprised because it was snowing.  I really enjoy looking at fresh white snow as it covers the ground and trees.  It brings back fond memories of  growing up and playing in the snow.  After getting ready, it was time to drive to the church, and then I was reminded of the mess that snow can make—a normal commute more than doubled in time because of drivers not knowing how to drive on snow.  What is simple to me, because I grew up driving on it, is a hindrance to so many because they’re inexperienced.  As I was sitting in traffic, I found myself thinking about that in the spiritual realm.  What is so easy for me, because I have served the Lord for so many years, may be difficult for those who are young in their relationship with Christ.  That’s why I need to be patient, be a mentor, and make sure that I’m doing everything I can to help them grow in their faith.
