These are slides associated with a talk given by Pastor Karena Lout at Blazing Fire Church. Karena encourages us to choose to "grow up" into capacities and choices to be authentic and loving. "Its time!". The podcast can be found at http://blazingfire.podbean.com/e/karina-lout-12-13-14/

1. "Enlarge your house, build an addition.
Spread out your home and spare no expense.
For you will soon be bursting at the seams."
Isaiah 54:2
Growing Pains

3. If you don't find yourself
asking questions,
you may have to
consider that you are
too comfortable with
already having
all the answers.

4. Fear of pain can
prevent us from
wanting to grow

6. To the degree you love is the
degree you risk being hurt.
Are you invested?

8. Integrity:The state of being whole and undivided

9. "May integrity and honesty protect
me for I put my hope in you"
Psalm 25:21

10. Daniel may have had influence in
King Nebuchadnezzar's life
because of his ability to interpret
his dreams but God transformed
his heart through love and honor.
Daniel 4:34

11. If you find yourself
complaining abut the
same thing, it's
probably because you
carry the answer.
