When I am gone to my new home with Christ and anyone reads this, I want you to know that I have had an adventure that I could never have imagined. I have never not known about the God- man Jesus. I can't remember a time I didn't know about Him.Then I began to know Him personally yet gradually day by day just like in any relationship. In the second grade I prayed a prayer to Him for an answer when my Mom told me to"ask Jesus what to do". I did and He answered in the most amazing way, a way a child could not miss. In the third grade , He answered a prayer to heal my sister who was 6 months old and very sick. I ask that she be home for Christmas and she was. There were years I left Him like a sheep going astray on my own way. But in the back of my mind He was always there and I did all I could to push Him back because I was ashamed but not willing to turn back. But the Lord kept on pursuing and drawing me. I met my husband who was also ready to come back to his first love and we began a journey that led us to the place of total commitment to Him. I had found the missing piece. He was the missing piece. I can tell you that the path He led me on has been filled with life more abundantly. I am not saying that there haven't been hard things to face, rough places to walk through, uncertainty, doubt,  but He built a foundation in me through His Word, through trials and tests , through  the teacher, the Holy Spirit, relationships I formed through this journey.  I have learned about His faithfulness and His grace. It was what I was born for. I never had ambition for a career, or an education , but the education I have received chasing Him has been amazing. I am still stirred up to know more of Him, understand more of His ways, to share what I have learned with others. I love His people I have met along the way. I love the Body of Christ. I love meeting new followers of Christ and hearing their stories of faith and victory. I know I have much more to learn but the life I have lived has been so worth it because He has walked with me all the way. And He walks with me and He talks with me and He tells me I am His own..and the joy we share as we tarry there, none other has ever known.
