Building Strength

THE only way to restore a weakened will is by exercising itself in details of duty, it may be in smallest acts of obedience, regularly done, "here a little, and there a little," content to grow by slow degrees into the use of lost powers through repeated acts of observance however trivial or unobserved. Faithfulness to every smallest call of obedience, as it comes, is the means of gaining gradual accessions of strength, and thus tending more and more to higher degrees of conformity to the Will of God. Only by such simple practical dutifulness can habits be formed.

About Me

It’s a record of my heart's journey as the Lord changes me evermore into His image. My name is Amy and I live in Oregon's lush, green Willamette Valley. My sweet husband and I have been married for 9 years and we are finding our way through the parenting maze as we raise our 3 precious kids. I am incredibly blessed to spend my days in my home. I stay busy being educated by my two sons (8&5) and my daughter (3). (Oh, and ocassionally I am able to teach them a thing or two!) So, take your time looking around and feel free to leave a comment. I'd love to meet you!
