Let's give it a try.....

Well, I sit here with a heart that is beating so fast. My mind is moving 100 mph. What do I say? How do I make this interesting? How do I capture your attention? There is one subject that is becoming more and more difficult for me to sit on and be quiet about. I think I might be annoying to some! But, that is a-ok with me. The subject is....

JESUS!

First of all, don't you just love the way that sounds?? I mean His name is just so sweet to me now. But, that has not always been the case. I have a great desire to learn how to effectively get the Word of Christ out to other women! Whew...that in itself is overwhelming. There are so many ways to do that. But, how in the world do you do that and be effective?? You want to do this thing right! I have opportunities within my home church because I have the privilege of being the Director of Children and Family Ministry and I also facilitate a women's Bible study. The path is right there. I want to maximize what I already have and then find a path that is new and just burning inside to get out.

I'm about to FREAK OUT at the thought of actually expressing my thoughts on the Proverbs 31 scholarship opportunity they are offering to the She Speaks conference this Summer...I mean I'm just flat out afraid of what my fingers may type....but, lets sit together and figure my excited heart out. I pray that you'll find some hope through this.....

You see, I was a girl who grew up in the church, but yet did not know Christ. I had a good family, yet did not talk about church and life with a daily Jesus. I appeared to be just like any other teenager, but I was a train wreck waiting to happen. Oh wait!!! That train wrecked many a times. It just didn't appear as a train wreck. I had so many people thinking one thing, but yet doing another.

How I despeartely wish someone, anyone, somehow, someway had told me about Jesus at an earlier age. But, that is not my story. That did not happen to me. I cannot go back in time. I cannot make different decisions. I cannot change anything that I did. But, I can take that mess of a girl and young woman and share in as many ways possible how Jesus can ROCK YOUR WORLD!

Girls, His character is just beautiful. He is so patient people! If He can work with me for 28 years....do not lose hope! He can use the strangest of scenarios, the least expected people, and do miraculous healing in the most orchestrated, beautiful, glorious God way.

My desire to be able to speak, write through this blog, and share in whatever capacity that I can, the hope that is found in Christ Jesus. Even when you didn't even have Christ Jesus!!! You may have not even thought you were missing a dern thing! But, He is eagerly awaiting our arrival.

Whether you are a believer or not, He is working on your behalf and He will work perfectly on your behalf. That is just Who He is.

Parents.....do not give up if your children are as far from God as possible. If you are not sure of Who God is or if you aren't sure of your own salvation, I want to help you, talk with you, and be as honest and real as I possibly can. If you need life brought back into your unsure or dead heart, then let me share the hope that is found through Christ. If you are in need of a renewal or simply take that first step, then lets talk. Because, God is the Father of saving lives!!! He saved mine. He restored me. He brought me to a place that I did not even like in others. I became that person that I couldn't stand. I became a Christian. I can't help but smile as I type that. This would be a complete turn around! And, I didn't even know for the longest that I needed to turn.

I love Jesus with every fiber of my being and want to sharpen my skills as I desperately want others to know the true life of Jesus as they walk the pavement of life. Life is just plain hard and we need to have Someone to cling too. We need to have us some hope that Someone is working on our behalf. We need to know that we are loved beyond measure......regardless of what we have done.

We all can be a vessel. I want to be a blessing to someone. He has blessed me so. He is everything to me. His Word is my addiction that I won't give up for anything or anyone. I feel as though my little self is just about to explode with the Good News! I want that explosion to take place. And, I want to have a blast doing it!! Because He is the best fun in the world.

Hang in there folks. He's got you covered. He's got your back. He is life.

Romans 15:13 "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit."
