Believers there is Growth in the valley (pt.2)

        Do you remember your favorite shirt in the first grade? I think I remember mines only because I have a picture.  It was black, had this huge white pilgrim color, and the shirt had pairs of fruit on it. The shirt buttoned at the wrist and flared at the bottom. I loved the shirt because with all the colors, I could switch up my ribbons for my hair.... I wore that shirt with some black leggings and some bucks (y'all remember them?). Well at some point that shirt got too small because on today, there is NO way I could fit it. As a child, I was growing in many different ways and it wasn't until a few years later, I realized that something I once loved, and thought I couldn't live without I HAD OUTGROWN!

        Sometimes God will place you in a valley experience to show you how much you had grown, but didn't recognize it for yourself! In your valley God will show you that some people and things you have around you, you have outgrown a long time ago.  But because they were demonic decoys, they were effective at diminishing how much you'd grown! Their job was to keep you doing the same things, at the same times, for the same reasons, too busy to realize your own growth! In your valley, God is growing you up so that you can realize for yourself that some things you outgrew a long time ago.   You just needed them removed from your presence! Some things should remain precious memories, not everyday occurrences!
