About Me
If you are a non-believer, or atheist - please, feel free to contact me. We can have an 'intelligent', 'open' conversation about the 'whys' and 'hows' of what you do believe. The truth is, we have 'faith' in something...'ourselves', 'others'...and I would like to openly explore possibilities, without judgment or condemnation.
I share my testimony to encourage others - 'lack of knowledge' is destroying our brothers and sisters in every nation of the earth - spiritually, physically, financially and socially. My heart is for the lost and those who want to know the truth. I'm 49, I wish someone had led me to Jesus and the truth about God when I was younger - hindsight is ALWAYS 20/20 - and because of my life and age, wisdom has come in many areas but this is THE MOST IMPORTANT DECISION I EVER MADE AND THE BEST - BY FAR!!! I KNOW I where I am going to spend eternity, do you? I can 'feel' God working in and thru me. BY no means am I 'perfect' or 'without flaw' - growing up is still a process and I KNOW that GOD isn't finished with me yet!
I am a wife, sister, mother and grandmother and I am a born-again, spirit-filled believer and follower of Jesus Christ.
I was in bed for 10 years -(3 hrs up was a 'good day'!) diagnosed with: severe depression, severe fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, arthritis, bursitis, carpal tunnel, cupital tunnel (at the funny bone - nothing funny about it!), migraines, bulging disc, degenerative disc, scoleosis - I was on 40-45 pills/day. I 'heard' the truth about God, Jesus thru a TV program and asked Him to forgive my sins and heal my body and He did!!
I now know that 'all things work together for my good and to His Glory' and I went thru my background so that I could testify and encourage others today. I was introverted, quiet and loved others, but not myself. But Jesus changed all of that when He made me a New Creature! Hallelujah! I now volunteer for my church (check out the website www.churchinaction.org) and have been blessed with 5 beautiful grandchildren. Our income has more than doubled since I began tithing on my income - I've told him, "Wow! Imagine what God will do when you start tithing!" We know it is God Almighty who gives us strength, courage, wisdom, peace, joy - and every good gift and 'adds no sorrow with it' - HALLELUJAH!!
I'm joining this 'Circle' to encourage others and to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ on a one-on-one basis or touching as many lives as possible. I KNOW I am going to Heaven - but I also want to take as many of God's children with me as possible!! So, every time I speak to someone I know I'm planting a seed in their lives - I want everyone to know that God loves them that's is why Jesus came - to pay the price for our sin and restore our relationship with our Father!
Well, this is a very shortened version of a very long story - everyday Jesus does miracles - since being healed originally, I was diagnosed with lung cancer and after the 'specialist' coldly said, "You have cancer and I am going to biopsy it so they will know how to treat you" and I went in for (after 12-15 x-rays of all types) the final x-ray to pinpoint the 'spot' - it had disappeared. I never saw that 'specialist' again, but heard several nurses comment..."We just witnessed a miracle!" [and when I got back to my 3rd floor room - the news was already known on the floor!] So - no matter what the doctors or anyone else says, believe God's Word and everywhere Jesus went '..He had compassion on..' and '..healed ALL'. I knew He had not healed me so 'cancer' could take me!!! The only way to lose the battle is to give up and curse God. One of my favorite sayings in the Bible is "...and it came to pass." Also, that it is Written - "I have planned it, so therefore, shall I not also perform it?", says God.
Every day is filled with new joys and wonders - no matter what things look like, I know everything is going to be okay - and then some! Because each day is better than the last and the best of my days are the rest of my days! The only thing impossible to God is to lie or go back on His Word!!! So, don't give up - trust in Jesus - and 'it shall come to pass'. I understand better now that I am a parent and grandparent God, the Father's love for me and for all of His children - unconditional love. He loves us just as we are AND too much to leave us as He find us. He helps me to see beauty in EVERYTHING and EVERYONE! Hallelujah! The shortest distance between a problem and the solution is the distance between your knees and the floor! "ASK...and you shall receive"
