My Continuing Story with God

Before receiving eternal life, I thought I had to prove myself, measure up, excel and know it all.

When I was in school I thought I had to prove myself with grades, date to know I was pretty/attractive/wanted. Without these things I didn’t think I had value. I dated a guy who wanted to be physical and God used that first encounter to show me I couldn’t do life without Him. I prayed and cried out in my home that night and experienced a peace I had never known before.

I knew I was different and was given strength to walk confidently in who God said I am. I was new.

Now that I have the Holy Spirit inside me, I still work hard but with joy to know I’m walking with God and growing closer to seeing Jesus face to face in heaven when I die.

My now husband and I struggled greatly at the start of our relationship to live as God wanted us to, but God in His mercy has guided me step by step - I can see His hand on my life even to this very moment!

I know that this life will have trials, and that I always need to trust God more… but the greatest hope is that I KNOW without any doubt that the moment I am no longer alive on this earth I will be more alive than ever in His Holy Presence!
