I have come to know God's love. God has always been a strong presence in my life. As a very young girl, before I had learned of Him, I felt His embrace. Later, I would pray to Him and trust in His response. During the years I was lost and wandering in darkness, I relied on Him. When the Holy Spirit worked in me to accept Jesus, I finally understood all of Him. But now, now I know that He loves me. I awoke Sunday morning and the first thought in my head was "God loves me. God. Loves. Me." The truth of that penetrated deep into my heart, deep into the longings and fears, deeper still to the corridors I do not wish to revisit. The truth of that brought God from "some place out there, watching over me and protecting me" to "right here, my heart in His, walking together, hand in hand". It's personal. It's love.

I feel God working in me, preparing me for something- something that utilizes the gifts and passions He has blessed me with. I hear it in my head, when I still myself, when I ask "God, what do you want me to do?" Live as a reflection of Me. Love as I love. Love your beauty. Love others without restraint. Love the world that I have given you. Live as I intended. Creativity. Health. Humanity. Children. These are the passions that resonate within me. With God in the center, I am drawn to write. It is my hope that my words serve you in some small way.
