Slowly Blossoming


My name is Stephanie, but you can call me Flower if you want to. I stand on the rock of Christ through the storms of life. I work hard to give thanks and find the importance of what I read in the Bible. I am a nerd: book Trekkie, Whovian. If you ask me what my favorite book is, I'd have to say Alice's Adventures in Wonderland/Through the Looking Glass because it feels like going to Grandma's house. This blog is a snapshot of me in all my strange, nerdy glory.

for as many years as we have seen trouble.

We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence… We need silence to be able to touch souls.

Sometimes I feel a tad sorry for Christians who “have it easy.” I find it easier to run to Christ being a broken mess.

A God who provides!

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
— Paul in his letter to the church in Philippi (Philippians 4:8-9)
