To all the people who stood by me during this amazing journey, we call life. I love you more than you will ever know just for being there... You will always have a special place in my heart. To the ones that did not take the time to understand and evaporated from my life like a vapor in the wind ...

I want to thank you, You taught me more than you will ever know by walking out of my life. So much more than you would have if you would have stayed...

However, I will admit it is a great loss for all parties not to share this beautiful wonder of life ...But, I am sure one day you will find Him for yourself, and then you will understand...

He has taken me on the most amazing journey. It has been filled with special people, life secrets, and a LOVE that is so...difficult to contain.

I have been blessed to rediscover there is a greater love !! It’s one that has no comparison on earth... It transcends time and space and speaks words of LOVE to our souls.

During these months...I have learned the art of seeing the beauty of each new God-given day. I found loyalty goes both ways... I have found laughter is good for the soul... I found forgiveness frees our minds. I have rekindled friendships new and old. I found that (family) blood does have ties that bind our hearts for life. I owe my Creator a lifetime of Gratitude for teaching me and for the privilege of being able to feel the depths of His amazing love.

As time passed I opened the Bible and listened with an open heart to His written word. And with the wide-eyed wonder of a child, I fell in love with His majestic beautiful Soul...It's at that time I threw caution to the wind. And didn’t worry about what others would think. Because I discovered a love that is not from our world and there was nothing I could do but surrender my heart...

But if you stop and give it some thought... Our hearts have been His since the beginning of time. I do feel one day that we all will return to our amazing Creator when He whispers our name. Each one of us carrying our unique stories to share.

I have been blessed to rediscover His greater love in my lifetime. I found out it's never too late. His grace is timeless. He is the most gentle loving soul I have grown to know. Loving Him has been a heavenly experience. He gave us the most amazing gift! The gift of love...

(1 John 4:8)

It’s Him... Its always been Him

One of the lessons He taught me as I unwrapped this gift of love, is never dismiss anyone in your life...Everyone has value and plays a significant role in what makes us who we are!!! As they say, everyone in our life is either a lesson or a blessing ... And if you are really lucky there are those that will bless you and become both... Because they too feel A hunger for Him in their soul...

I do believe that during this spiritual adventure... I found me... But wait... I must ask, was I ever really truly lost? I think not! He has known my whereabouts since the beginning of time...He has gently taken the time to prove to me that He knows me better than I know myself. He knows my heart, my deepest thoughts... everything from the beginning to the end. (Isaiah 46:9-11)

It was me... I am the one that distanced myself from Him... He never left me! He has always been there! He has intimately reclaimed my soul. And I discovered He has lovingly engraved His very name “IAM” across my heart. He did this even before He loving placed me in my mother's womb... (Jeremiah 1:5)

He WOWs me ... And I ecstatically proclaim “My life will never be the same... “

Much love, grace, and gratitude to you all. I can only pray that you find Him soon...Because we are living in crazy times. And we are now enduring many challenges here on earth. Many of these challenges have proven that life is but a fleeting moment in time...

Eternity with a Greater LOVE awaits... reclaim and rekindle the flame with the one who loves you far beyond our own understanding...

It’s HIM... without hesitation, it’s always been Him.

Indeed, in the path of Your judgments, O Lord, We have waited expectantly for You; Your name, even Your memory, is the desire and deep longing of our souls. Isaiah 26:8

For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. Psalm 139:13-16
