Sarah’s title to her {inspirational entry} this week triggered a walk down retro lane. Funny to see what is now determined as “retro.” We couldn’t help but throw in the theme song of one of our favorite TV families of the late 80s early 90s. Enjoy!
Full House — Didn’t you just love Uncle Jesse?
BTW — DJ was the coolest in her Converse high tops. {can you believe they are back in style?!}
~ What memories or life circumstances to theme songs like this bring to mind?
~ How is your faith different from what it was during those days of watching “Full House” as a kid?

I’m growing up! This really fits. I am no where near where God has set for me but I feel like i’m trying to grow in my faith and have definitly come leaps and bounds(all thanks to be to God). It certainly isn’t of me. He is literally transforming me. I’m working on letting God work through me and getting myself out of the way. That’s hard because it’s requiring me to get out of my comfort zone. Thank God Jesus didn’t mind getting out of his comfort zone for me. I have to return the same.
My Type is “You are growing up”. This fits my personality, because I know I still have growing up to do. Those hard days still threaten to derail me, but I manage to get through them
I’m also Growing Up! I have alot of room for improvement in my life and i’m working to strengthen my relationship with God everyday… He is truly working in me and I feeling that I am growing a little each day.
I’m growing up too! Which does fit, as my walk has deepened considerably in the past couple of years. I am learning to trust His timing, listen for His voice and start letting myself give up control! YAY!
I, too, am growing up. After having several years of doing my own thing God has brought me back closer to him. I have had a strong desire to learn more the last couple of years…like I can’t get enough to drink. I want to learn more about him… today’s entry definitely fits me!
I am growing up!! LOL… with 6 kids that I homeschool, I hope/pray that I am!! I have been convicted lately that I need to memorize scripture, so it totally fits that the end of the quiz told me I should try that!
I’m growing up with a little bit of stuck in a rut. It was a nice reminder that I know God has worked in my life and I just need to continue trusting him and his timing.
I am growing up! I definitely think it fits me! I am glad that the quiz said that because it boosts me and wants me to work on growing up even more
I’m trying to enter into the drawing and it is not working. Could you hel me figure out how to do it please?
My type is “Growing Up”…. I think I posted that in the wrong spot previously (sorry)
.
I do agree with that but I’m definatly in the process of Growing!
“You are Growing” I am so happy to be still growing! After being in a cult for 33 years I am growing closer in my relationship with the Lord. It has taken the loss of my family (They aren’t allowed to talk to me anymore due to cult control) and years of deprograming, learning anew, and growing. I pray my growing never ceases!
I am growing up! I pray that it fits me! Through a wonderful church and small group, I am finding that I have a need to continue growing up.
I am growing up. YAY! Sometimes my guilt at not doing enough keeps me in a rut. I am learning that trusting in Him will always take me out of that rut.
I am growing up…however, I would describe myself as faaaaar from grown up! Thank you for your post.
I am Growing up! Yet, I am still growing with God daily and looking forward to all that is to come.
Totally growing up.. the valleys & mountaintops of maturity and life lessons grows you up quickly even tho the years moved slowly at first. All those precious memorys full of His grace & mercy! I could never “get thru it” all without my Lord & Savior! Thank you for reminding me on how far I’ve come and how important is to have FAITH to run my race =) FOR HIM!!
I am growing up according to the quiz which I think fits. I have definitely grown in my faith over the years but have a lot farther to grow. I don’t think everyone is truly “fully” grown in their walk faith.
Growing up seems to fit…although sometimes it is painful! Thankfully, God is faithful to his children who love him. He is teaching me to surrender my own willful struggles and rest in the peace of looking only to Him for fulfillment!
My type is growing up, and I am so thankful to be in that category. I feel like my faith was much stronger when I was younger, and I really miss having a close relationship with God. My husband and I just started attending church regularly, and I am excited about getting plugged in to a church where we can both grow together. Praise God!
I’m growing up and this was ever so present in my life just last week. My husband was given the option for a voluntary lay off or get reduced to even less hrs in the work week. The me 3 years ago would have flipped at him for just mentioning that he should do that. Well, we prayed about it, made a list of questions for HR then spoke with HR. It was the most amazing feeling that the Holy Spirit gave me:Peace. The decision was to take the lay off and I have never felt more peace in my life. Satan has tried through out the week to make me question our decision not to mention the many concerns of our family members. But I’m not worried, in God’s word, he says “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. (Jeremiah 29:11)” My hope is in Christ that He will provide for us and will provide work for my husband’s company so they will bring him back.
I am stuck in a rut….and I believe this quiz couldn’t be more correct! I love the Lord with all my heart, but here lately, the flame has dimmed….and now I am desperately looking for something to spark that flame back up. I need a new awakening from God.
Like everyone else – I too am ‘growing up’ – with a slight stuck in the rut. I definitely agree with that. I have experienced several devastating, tragic events in the past 3 months and, as He promises, I turned to Him, He carried me, He has used/ is using ‘this season’ to grow me and to bring glory to Him. So definitely in a rut, but I’m growing and seeking daily!
WOW…Look how much the media has changed!?! That was so innocent and cute now its all about sex, drugs,murder,money…etc…….
I was Blessed by this post Thank you and God’s Peace
I am growing up. . . THANK YOU JESUS.
Its true I feel the growth and I am changing and being transformed, but it would not have happened unless I decided to start reading God’s word daily, following God’s word and spending time in prayer or study God’s word. Things I used to do just because out of tradition were not satisfying me any longer. BUT thanks be to the living GOD that is not so right now. I am yearning and thirsting to know God more. I look forward to sitting and studying His word. I am thirsty not for the clothes,house,better job, schools or those things but for Jesus and I want to be more like Him.
My mind is set on Becoming more like Jesus and for GOD to do whatever He desires to do in my life because everything He does has a purpose and a reasoning and He gets the glory out of everything that he does in my life. I want to praise him and worship him and I want it to be something that happens and is real and manifesting in my daily life.
I dont want to simply talk about it anymore but I want to be about My fathers business and that is something that I did not want as much before as I want it now. There is a legacy for me to leave behind and there are people that God has called for me to touch them for Him ad I want to do that.
I know I am growing because my focus has changed and it is no longer about me and what I can get from GOd, but GLory be to GOD. It is about God and His perfect will for my life. i am not seeking to make myself happy but GOD how can I make YOU happy?
Thank you Lord that the tears I cry now are tears of joy and contentment because of Him becoming so large in my life I desire to see HIM become just as large in the lives of those around me. Thank You Jesus. Thank You Lord.
I’m growing up!! Well, technically I’m not a 20-something, but rather 36…but still, I think this site is wonderful and applicable to my life!!
I know I still have SO much growing to do, and so much more to improve upon in my life and in my walk with God. I am just so grateful that God is a forgiving and loving and persistent God!!!
I am also “growing up,” which is a good description of my faith. I still have a lot to learn in the areas of trust and surrender.
I’m growing up too….I especially feel that this fits my life because we never actually grow up. To grow up would be to be finished with race, even with Christ, etc, an unattainable goal. I’m proud that I’m growing in my faith with Christ and pray that the growth never ceases!
I am stuck in a rut, and have been for quite some time now. I grew up in a Christian town and family so I was in church everytime the doors were open. My relationship with Christ was pretty strong, of course there were a few valleys, as with any relationship. When I got to college, I began to seperate myself more and more from the way I was raised and the things I knew to be true. For the past three years, I have been doing my own thing, and to be quite honest with you, I have been absolutely miserable. These past couple of weeks have been real eye openers for me. There have been so many things to happen that have put things into perspective. I want so badly to get back to where I need to be, and although I am on my way, I am no where close yet. Please keep me in your prayers as I am trying to find my way back to the Lord.
I’m growing up!
I am “growing up”! I am realizing that age in years as well as in faith is helping! I have so wanted to be “a woman after God’s own heart”–I’ve always admired and aspired those words God chose to say about David. I’ve struggled, and prayed and cried and yearned. I’ve been His kid for 53 years–it’s nice to have a little confirmation that I am “growing up”. Thank you Jesus!!! For patience with me!
I’m Growing Up!
Yes, it is so true, the older I get the more I begin to understand how the wisdom I admired as a child in my adoptive Grandmother didn’t come over night. It is a process, often moment by moment, for me. I do so hope to one day grow up and be half the woman she is. For now, I love spending time with women who desire to know God more and learn together. I’m thankful for wonderful friends, great Bible teachers and most importantly, the Holy Spirit raining down.
I got “you are growing up” , this is very encouraging to me at a time I need it…..my life now is sort of a wilderness right now but my hope is in Him who loves me and cares for me….
blessings,
Amy
I am growing up. Since I wasn’t in a relationship with God back in the 80′s this is truly a great thing. Sometimes I slide back but I’m a work in progress.
I’m growing up and I’m so glad! The devo really hit me between the eyes this week and I would like to enter the drawing to read more from Sarah!
Thanks!
I think my description fits, although i know i am never fully mature, i need God’s help each and every day and I rely on him daily to grow
I am growing up and think that is so perfect for where I am right now. God has done some great things through a bad circumstance in the last few weeks. Trusting Him with it every day is still a constant battle. I am learning to memorize scripture (again) and allow God to fill my mind with HIS word!
Well I’m stuck in a rut. And it is fitting. I’ve been doing a lot of growing recently and now I’m a little stuck. I would say I’m in the growing pains stage. God is pushing me right now. I’ve had a really difficult year, this past year and my life has drastically changed. It’s hard when you find out things aren’t always what they seemed to be and when you get hurt like you’ve never been hurt before. When the one you care about the most hurts you in the worst way, it’s hard to swallow. God’s been teaching me a lot about relying on him and trusting him. But I’m a little stuck right now and hoping that his push for further grow isn’t going to hurt as bad as the recent growth spurt I’ve gone through.
I am growing up
It is encouraging to hear because often times I do not feel as though I am making spiritual progress despite the fact that God’s fingerprints are on my life and it is more apparent then I think that He is growing me. I enjoyed reminiscing on my childhood days and recalling the child-like faith that I had when I was young. I realized that when I was young my trust in Him was more unwavering. I loved the way that God used the devotion to call something to the forefront of my mind yet again through another medium. I am working on fully trusting Him and it is more affirmation that He has me right where He wants me.
Thanks Sarah and She Seeks Team for all you do
And thank you Jesus for speaking through these women! To You be the glory 
The result of mine is that I am growing up. Which is encouraging to hear. I believe that it fits where I am right now. Each day I am working on having that closer relationship with Christ and taking everything to Him and leaving it with Him.
Thanks for your hearts to share at She Seeks!
I’m growing up! That’s a pretty accurate assessment, although for one or two questions I wish there was an option in between the second & third choices, because that was really where I am. But overall, God is changing my heart so these “grown up” tendencies become a part of me and aren’t things that I have to constantly remind myself to do.
I’m growing up! I agree…and I’m glad that it doesn’t say, “I’m growN up” because we all still have a lot to learn and grow through when it comes to our faith!
Totally Retro…It is true, I do not let go and let God. I’m trying to deal with it, but it’s hard to not be the one in control, especially when everything else is out of control…
I am definitely in the process of growing up. I was born and raised in church and have always had a deep passion for the things of God. Not until recently becoming a mother of my 2 precious little girls did I realize how desperately I need God. I have little eyes watching me now, which is great accountability!
All of my actions from how I take care of our house, how I respect my husband, and how I interact with other women need to be a representation of God’s love. No, not perfect or church-like, but a true picture of how Jesus treated people on earth. Learning to walk in His footsteps has been the biggest maturing, difficult, and most enjoyable thing I have ever done. Thank you so much for this blog! It helps me to know that I’m starting to get this Christianity thing down….even after 20 years! : )
I am growing up!!! And I surely am!!!
I’m so happy to have found this site!!!
I’m growing up! It is good to see that since I have only been a believer for 2.5 years. I have a lot of growing to do! I have to question myself though and think was I truely answering the survey question of who I am…or who I want to be?
I’m growing up! It was interesting to see through some of the questions where I still have some “areas of growth” in my life.
I am growing up too! This is a great website – I stumbled across it looking for things to do for a womens gathering!
Thank You!
I am growing up!!!
Work in progress until I see Him!
I am in a rut.:( And I know that, but how do I get out. I know that a lot of it is my fault, but I don’t know how to pull myself out and start listening and receiving. When I see that a lot of you are growing up I wonder where God is and why I can not find him as strongly as others have. Please pray that I may awaken from this stage of my life with a new Love. ( I need someone to hit me with a hammer sometimes, ugh)
I’m growing up!:) And I can’t wait to learn at Jesus’ feet! I think I’ll never be totally grown up, but we have the promise that he who hath began a good work in us will finish it. BTW thank you for your website, it’s really been a blessing!
