I am a blessed Mom and Grandmama who loves Jesus. I accepted Christ when I was fifteen; however, my life was transformed by the Holy Spirit when I cried out to Him in 1998 literally begging Him to restore the joy of my salvation. What an amazing God! He did it instantly! My life has not been the same since that day. The joy He put in my heart is overflowing and never ceasing and MUST be shared with others.
Some of my stories may have a sweet side to them, but for the most part, they are indicative of the reality of living in this world while being a citizen of the Kingdom of God. It ain't easy. But it is doable. Sometimes we have a blast and get the "giggles", and sometimes we have to work hard at it.
I am an independent woman who doesn't believe in "mushy" Christianity. We all live lives that require strength and faith. We all have joys and heartaches! Life can be tough. Life IS tough. And we need a tough and strong belief in our All Powerful God to lead us through it. "The Joy of the Lord is my strength!"
I am not a theologian. I am not a Bible scholar. I am a child of God who several years ago was called into ministry. In those years, I have been blessed so many times with the opportunity to share my faith with other women (and sometimes men). Whether I am acting the part of the Samaritan woman or sharing in teaching of what God has shown me, I have always been overcome by the sweetness and faithfulness of God to hold me up and use my mind and body and spirit to reach out to others. I don’t know why my ever gracious and precious Lord chose me, but I am so thankful that He did.
