The botanical name is Helianthus. The Greek word "helios" means sun and "anthos" means flower. It is aptly named after the sun which it resembles.

Wow, it has been a long time since Sunflower Girl has checked in with everyone. Sunflower Girl has had a lot of changes take place in her life but she knows that the pain she is going through is a "stepping stone to her spiritual growth". She has been turning to God more. She heard someone say recently that you can "Let go or be dragged". That really hit home for Sunflower Girl because she can relate to trying to do her will and being dragged. Life has been hard and it has been a struggle for Sunflower Girl to trust the process; however God has proven He will take care of her but it is in His time not hers, and it is ultimately His will that will be done, and there isn't anything she can do but the footwork, and then leave the results up to Him. She is feeling afraid right now that things won't be ok, but she has to believe that others believe right now.
Sunflower Girl hopes everyone is having a good year so far. Keep trusting the Lord because He loves you and me.
