All my life, I've always been short. In elementary school we were expected to line up in size order. I was always first in the line. Early in my years I learned that I would never be tall. Hence my nickname: "Shorty". I realized I would never grow. Although I would never grow in height, I've come to realize that I am now having a growth spurt. I am growing in love, grace and in spirit. I am at a point in my life, where I am trying to grow in God. I'm trying to grow spiritually. I am serious about my walk. I am getting older and I don't have time to play games with my faith. I'm spiritually maturing. Things of God matters to me. While growing up my sisters and I would play house and church. I'm done with playing as I am fully aware that God is serious and He wants His children to stop playing with Him. This doesn't mean that we should get so full of our selves or become "holier than thou", but to be real, and have a sense of awe and respect for Him. I have a long way to go! I have issues that I need God to change in and through me. But in the mean time, I'm in a spiritual development process. Waiting to see the woman of God I will grow into. So, don't hate because I'm moving to another level. Ask God to move you to a deeper level in Him, so you too can grow!

Eph 4:15 :but speaking truth in love, we may grow up in all things into him, who is the head, even Christ;"

Hey Shorteeeeee,

Sorry couldn't resist. Hey my wife is short too, she's only 5'0 tall, I suppose. Really I think she is shorter is why she's always wearing those stack boots. I'm 6'2" and trust it was my short wife who brought me to Christ by her love and her grace and her faith in Him. We can't all be tall, but all of us can be....MIGHTY!

God Bless and may God's riches increase in abundance in you

In His Grip

Hello Min. Taylor. I like this.....Excuse Me, I'm just trying to Grow! So am I sister. I love God so much and for many years I knew about God but now I truly have a relationship with him and I am so happy. This is why I praise him and why I hunger and thirst for righteousness. Thank you for sharing.
