		<description>Thanks for sharing, Kim.  I'm so glad Dominick is growing out of his fussiness and helping us all see hope.</description>

		<description>I recently read this passage to my cell, and I think that it applies to this post:

"A seed only flourishes by staying in the ground in which it is sown. When you keep digging the seed up to check whether it is growing, it will never bear fruit."

For me, growth and maturation, like Dominick's, comes with hope in Jesus' promises. We have to patient, and often times our growth seems impossible to notice; but I trust and believe that it is happening.</description>
