Do you know what just hit me the other day? I don't believe I did a September Growing in Grace. Shame on me! Well, I'll throw in a few extra links because I missed last month. Enjoy these links!
- Wishing - "Many times I have found myself wishing for a stronger desire for God. I wish I had a stronger desire to fellowship with Him, to serve Him, worship Him, and to read and obey His Word. I use the word “wish” because I've realized that sometimes that’s exactly what I've been doing. Wishing. And in case you didn't know, wishing really doesn't get you anywhere."
- Truth is Our Cinderella's Castle - I loved this article! "Sometimes it can be hard for me to figure out who is right and who is wrong. Who understands the heartbeat of God and who has an alternate agenda? Who has correct insight into Scripture and who’s confused, deceived, or just plain ill-informed? When my head starts spinning in this way, I remember that Truth is my Cinderella’s Castle. Let me explain."

The goodness of God, however, extends to heights and depths that we can spend a life time pursuing."
