Hi! I’m Debbie Bottom 🙂

Progress by Merriam Webster: a royal journey marked by pomp and circumstance

Progress by Cambridge Dictionary: to develop or change to an improved situation or condition.

Antonym: regression, decline, set back, stagnation, retreat (depending on the context).

There are many aspects to progress in our lives – physical growth, financial growth, health growth (that sounds weird) parenting growth, work growth, educational growth and for sure, spiritual growth.

I can take any of these topics – and I will in the days/weeks/months ahead, and talk about being a work in progress. Since we moved from Wyoming to Nebraska 2 years ago, God has shown me areas where I need to grow, and allowing others the same grace to allow for growth. If God allows ME the grace to be a work in progress, should I not allow that in others around me as well? I know I can’t solve all the issues of good and evil, and why God allows so much evil and ugliness, but I can work in my sphere of influence to offer grace, and make my sphere a better place. And to point whoever is looking for grace and a place to grow, to the One who can grow us best. We are a Work in Progress!

Progressing….
