 I’m honored that you would take time out of your day to visit my website!
However you found me, I want to leave you with a clear picture of how much GOD means to me...and why I have a website that is dedicated to letting the world know how awesome He really is. He is EVERYTHING! I love Him more than I could ever describe with words, but I’ll do my best by giving you an inside look into how my love for Him has grown over the years.
It starts with my earliest memories. When I was a little girl and falling in love with God, I would think about Him and talk to Him all the time. He has always been very real to me, and I have always wanted to be close to Him. One thing I loved to do as a little girl was to imagine that heaven was a big square pasture. I would say, “God, if You’ll just let me into heaven, I’ll stay way back in the far pasture, and that would be fine with me. I would be so happy God!” Well, I grew older and got to know Him better, and the next thing you know, I was trying to inch toward His castle. I was actually imagining myself getting closer to God. I told God, “Please, if You will just let me into Your castle, I’ll do anything. I’ll even clean the bathrooms!” I was willing to do anything to be a little closer to this magnificent King. I loved Him so much that being far away wasn’t going to work. As I have continued to fall more and more in love with Him over the years, I have continued to ask God if I can get closer to Him. My love for God fills my heart, and one of the things that I have always done is sing songs to God. Whenever I hear certain songs, whether they are country, pop, or Christian, I’ll know that God is singing them to me, and I echo in response to His love songs. When I was a child and imagined inching toward God’s castle, there were times that I would worry that since God loved everybody, there might not be a room left for me in the castle. I wanted to make sure He saved a place for me. And so, my pursuit of Him...knowing Him and understanding Him and finding out how He wanted me to live...was EVERYTHING. I never wanted to be away from Him. I never wanted to let Him down or think that I didn’t love Him more than anything!
As I’ve grown through my schooling, into adulthood, marriage, having children and now grandchildren, and even to the very moment you’re reading this...my desire to be close to Him has only GROWN. I need Him now more than ever before, and the more I learn about Him, the more excited I get and the closer I feel to Him. God is my morning and my night; He is my Alpha and Omega.
He is the Beginning and the End. God is my everything and He is your everything, but you might not know that yet. There is nothing that He can’t do, and He wants to show you if you would only give Him the floor for a few minutes. I learn something new every week.
It is now my heart’s desire to think about God all the time and to offer Him all that I have. I trust in all His decisions, and there is absolutely nothing about God that I want to change. I believe that He needs to hear us say that. I am sure that His feelings are hurt that more people don’t just automatically adore Him and trust Him. I love the God who sends blessings, but I love the disciplining God as well. I love God, for I see all that He does and define Him as a God of love. I don’t want Him to change. I don’t want Him to think that we want Him to offer more food, more money, more justice, more grace, or more love than He already has. I don’t want God to think that I want Him to change His personality or His justice system or His laws. I don’t want to remake God. I love Him for everything He is and does, and I pray that He never, ever changes.
 Finally, I believe that this love I feel for God is something that I need to pass down. One of my biggest joys in the world is training the next generations...kids...grandkids...and not just my own! I have a deep love for anyone who wants to know and learn about and love God this way. I can’t tell you enough of how important that I feel it is to slow down and teach the next generation how to love God with all of our hearts and all of our souls, and the best way in the world to do this, I’ve found, is to just love God myself with all of my heart and all of my soul. Then I get up every day and let the younger ones join in with me. I praise God every day with them, I stop and pray with them, and I pray for going up the steps and going down the steps. I want to pass all this love of God and this relationship with God down to these next generations so that God’s kingdom will come and His will will be done on earth just as it is in heaven. And these little ones, they can love God with all of their heart, and they can serve God, and they can learn how to fall in love with him so quickly. As you read this, I promise you that if you seek God and learn to love Him and all of His attributes and all of His decisions this way, and if you pass that along to the younger ones, it will help you to lose yourself and your worries and your pain...and you will find Him and His kingdom, because the kingdom is given to ones such as these.
I have a peace inside that flows like a river. God is in my every thought, word, and action. I can do nothing without Him and I don’t want to do anything without Him and His leading.
I pray that reading this has helped you in some way know how good God really is. I’m not special. Anyone can have this kind of relationship with God and feel this way about Him. I’m doing everything I can every day to emulate God’s precious Son Jesus Christ. He is my shining example. His life inspires and moves and motivates me in every way. And you know what? Just like I did when I was a little girl...to this very day...I long to inch ever closer to God. Again, I am honored that you would take a few minutes and read anything about me or my life. I am here only to point anyone I come in contact with upward to God. I hope you’ll visit again.
Thank you!
