LORD, I love You with all my heart, with all my soul, and with all my mind. I commit to trusting You

About Me


I am in a lifelong relationship with the Lord, complete with ups & downs. Aware of my sin and my need for Christ, I accepted Jesus as my savior at age 29. I am NOT perfect, but the Lord is faithful and I am so very grateful for His persistent, ever-present love and mercy. I am awed by His grace and His continual pursuit of my heart & soul. I strive to be faithful, to seek the Lord in my daily walk, to pursue His will rather than my own, and to be open to hearing His small, quiet voice as He beckons me into deeper relationship with Him. I have several "life verses", but a favorite is Jeremiah 29:11, "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." ~ I'm very passionate about my children. I have been blessed with 2 AMAZING kids that are a joy to be with. I'm a very happy person, Silly most of the time :p I love to give a warm greeting. I can joke around, but I'm also very sensitive to the needs of others. I love to laugh! I'm not afraid to cry. I have both a serious and a fun-loving side, although I think the fun-loving side wins out more often :)
HEAVEN IS IN HIS ARMS
As much as I’m able to love someone I can’t see or touch, Jesus, I love You. I know You are real. I know You are here with me and even within me, but I have to admit that sometimes I just want someone with skin on to love me back. Forgive me for feeling that You aren’t enough, Jesus. Would You let me feel Your touch? Would You let me know Your heart intimately? Would You help me hear Your voice? Be enough for me, Lord. Help me be satisfied in You.
A Woman's Heart should be so Lost in GOD that A Man needs to seek HIM in order to Find Her!
Lord, help me focus my heart on You. You are my First Love, the One for me! You can fill me and satisfy my craving heart in ways beyond my wildest imagination. You can give me the strength to guard myself against the world. Only with You will I be whole and satisfied.
Who is he that condemns? No one—for Christ Jesus died for us and was raised to life for us, and HE is sitting in the place of honor at God’s right hand, INTERCEDING for us. ~ Romans 8:34
We Love Him because He first Loved us!
1 John 4:19
Man was created by God to know and love Him in a permanent, personal relationship. The eternal plan to reconcile man with God, to forgive him of all sins, originated in the heart of God. It was motivated by His great LOVE!
For God so loved YOU that He gave
His Son, His only Son, the Son Whom He loved
He gave heaven’s most precious Tresure
He gave everything He had – in order to offer YOU eternal life!
One thing we can know for sure is that God loves YOU and ME
How do we know that?
We know it by just looking at the cross where He proved His love for the world that mocks Him and ignores Him and despises Him and scorns Him and rejects Him!!
We look at the cross and see I Love You in red
My Princess…
I love you beyond description.
There are no words to describe how much I love you. That is why I stretched out My arms of love and died for you. I know sometimes you don’t feel lovable, but you don’t have to earn My affection. I adore you! You are My creation. I never want you to doubt My commitment to you.
I am the Lover of your soul, so let Me meet your every need. I long to set you free from searching for false love in the wrong places. Let Me hold on to your heart and fill you up with eternal love. Then you will feel My Holy presence and fall in love with Me.
Love,
Your King who can’t stop loving you
God holds out His hand to you and whispers tenderly, "Come away with Me, My precious one. Come away with Me so I may tell you how much I love you, so I may fill your heart with joy!"
God loves you with unfathomable love -- love wider than the sea and higher than the sky. Even the universe cannot contain the extent of His love for you. And though God's love is infinitely vast, it is extraordinarily personal. He has given it to you in the embrace of His crucified Son. He has written it to you in a love letter, His magnified Word.
My Precious Princess and Daughter,
My Daughter, you are important to Me! I know how much your hectic life and busy schedule can distract you from hearing My voice, but I want to communicate with you and respond to you.
Hearing My words does take time and patience; it also involves learning to recognize My whisper in your heart. But don’t worry, I am patient with you. I keep trying and I have every confidence that you will keep trying to hear Me better and better, too.
There are so many “voices” competing for your attention. I know that you won’t always recognize My voice among them, even with many years of practice and awareness. But trust Me. It is part of My plan because life is a journey in faith. So don’t be discouraged if it seems like you’ll always question whether it’s My voice or not. I’m with you to guide you through life’s maze.
Believe Me, I am in complete control. Never fear. Keep seeking Me. Study My Word, know My heavenly principles, and trust Me. My gentle and kind voice will draw you.
Lovingly, Your Heavenly Father, the King
Be My light to the world
My Princess...
I stepped into your darkness so you would shine for Me. Did you know that I have empowered you to light up the lives of everyone around you? You are My light to the world. So walk with Me, and let Me illumine your life today with My love and My power. Look to Me, and I will make you the bright spot in someone’s darkness today.
Don’t hide your light beneath your uncertainties and insecurities. Spend more time with Me and I will make you glow with godliness that’s irresistible. If you will let Me, I’ll make you shine in such a way that you will be My star that points to heaven and brings hope to the hurting.
Love,
Your King and True Light of the world
Faith grows only in the dark. You've got to trust GOD when you can't trace Him.
Triumph Through Trials!
My Princess...
I see you when you are in the garden of grief, My princess. I hear you cry for help in the dark hours of the night. I Myself cried out in the garden the night I was betrayed. In My suffering I asked My Father for another way – a less painful way. Yet I trusted His will and purpose for My life and knew the ultimate victory was at the cross. Just as olives must be crushed to make oil, I poured out My life as a love offering for you.
Don’t ever doubt that I am with you and that I long to take you to a place of comfort, peace, and victory. Even when you cannot see Me from where you are, I am working on your behalf. Give to Me the crushing weight of your circumstances, and come to Me in prayer. When it is time to leave the garden, I will walk with you across the valley and straight to the cross – where your trials will be transformed into triumph.
Love,
Your Savior and your Victor
For when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow, for when our endurance is fully developed, you will be strong in character and ready for anything! James 1:3-4
If You See Someone Who Is In Need Of A Blanket To Keep Warm, Food To Eat, Or Needing Something To Drink, Please, Help Them! You Never Know When You Might Be In A Situation Like That. Wouldn't You Want Someone To Help You?? Of Course You Would. Don’t Turn Away From Them. Don’t Act Like You Didn’t See Them, Instead Help Them. Show Them The Love That You Have For Jesus Because Jesus Lives In You!!
If you help the poor, you are lending to the LORD – and He will repay you! Those who shut their ears to the cries of the poor will be ignored in their own time of need. – Proverbs 19:17; 21:13
Imagine -- by giving to the poor, we are lending to the Lord Jesus Himself!
I was an onion before Jesus set me free. Layers upon layers of iniquity. An ugly old onion whose fragrance was strong; That my Jesus bought and loved all along.
Unknown to me what He was going to do. Of what He was planning, I had not a clue. Pulling each layer off one by one. In order to make me more like Jesus the Son.
The first layer wasn't so bad. I saw all the sins that I knew I had. They were easy to fix, just change the way I talk. And learn more of how He wanted me to walk.
Reading His Word, and learning again; How to put aside my life of sin. But the next layer was pulled which hurt more. He was getting closer to the core.
Unknown what He would find there. I simply gave it to Him in prayer. As another layer was removed, He started to cry; Pulling this layer brought pain to my Father on High.
And I was crying over the sadness I felt; The brokenness and all of the guilt. Past memories that I thought were gone; They were buried under layers disguised in a fragrance so strong.
As onions peel more and more; And they put tears in our eyes as we get close to the core; So my Father wept over my pain; Giving me a balm of comfort and strength to sustain.
"No More Layers." I would scream.
As He continued to peel them off of me. "I'll have nothing left my Lord, what will I do? I'll be nothing but a worthless core to You."
But He just said "Trust me," and continued to peel I was sure He was blinded to my pain that was so real. Year after year I shrunk more and more; Until all that was left of this onion was a core.
It was then that I began to understand; As the Lord embraced me in His Loving Hand. He said, now and only now can you be; The creation that will minister before Me.
Clothed with the righteousness only from above; Gone are your layers of self so you can be filled with my love. He took my layers of sin, hurt and pain; And clothed me with love, truth and mercy in His name.
Yes, we are all onions, learning with each day; How to overcome as each layer is taken away. Some layers tear and pull at our heart; While others grieve us to our innermost part.
But we are nothing but an ugly onion without Christ. Layers upon layers of pride, sin and strife. Only God can take those layers away. And clothe us with His Righteousness in that final day.

My Interests



The Father Himself Loves You!

“I love you!!!” is the heart cry of God. His heartbeat is a rhythm of constant, never ending love. The passion that burns inside of Him is a fire of love - love for you...

He created you so that you could only be satisfied by love. His love: Total acceptance, understanding and care. It’s Gods heart. He is tender, compassionate and pure.

He is the only One who really cares about you.

Please, don’t hide from the one and only Father who really loves you and who will never let you down. God won’t abuse or harm you.

God is not angry at you. He knows. He understands...

He wants to forgive and heal you. He wants to be your Daddy. Your Mate, your Everything. He wants to give you joy, strength and hope.

Don't run away from Him. Instead, throw yourself in His loving arms. You are safe there. Safer then anywhere you've ever been.

Spiritual darkness is the absence of God’s truth in our hearts and lives. We can have an education and still be in darkness. We can study philosophy and religion and still be in darkness. We can go to church or do social work in our community and still live in darkness. We can be sincere or be tolerant of others and what they believe and still be in darkness.

Darkness is unbelief. Darkness is deception, keeping us from the knowledge of God. Darkness is separation, keeping us from the fellowship of God. Darkness is isolation, keeping us from the presence of God. Darkness is something we should treat as an enemy, yet when we are in sin, we treat it as a friend. We like darkness (it hides us from being exposed for who we really are). The sin in us runs deep, and the darkness is our cloak.

Although we may be hiding from Him, He is not hiding from us. Jesus seeks us out in our darkness. He is standing near us, clothed with white garments…covered with glory…reaching out with arms of mercy…inviting us into the marvelous light of His forgiveness and love. ~ Roy Lessin

For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 2 Cor 4:6

to open their eyes, in order to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me.’ Acts 26:18

It was the darkness and rebellion of our sin that sent Jesus Christ from heaven to earth on a mission of redemption. He came as light into the darkness, but those in the darkness were not able to understand it. He came even though we didn’t know how desperately we needed Him. He came to pay the debt we owed but couldn’t pay. He came as a physician who didn’t wait for office calls but lived among us to seek and save those who were being destroyed by the plague of sin. He didn’t die as a martyr or a reformer; He died as the spotless, sacrificial lamb, willing to make atonement for our sin.

The mallet and the spikes were in our hands while goodness and mercy were in His… rebellion and deceit were in our character, grace and truth were in His… hardness and coldness were in our hearts, tenderness and compassion in His. Jesus was the perfect offering for our imperfections – taking our judgment, bearing our sorrow, tasting our death, triumphing over our hell, and seeking to take us captive with the awesome power of resurrection life! ~ Roy Lessin

But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed. Isaiah 53:5

But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8

for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, Romans 3:23

so that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 5:21

When we come to Jesus Christ in our brokenness and need, He receives us as we are, but because He loves us He doesn’t want to leave us that way. He has come to make all things new.

His path is a path of hope. His way is a way of change. He doesn’t just forgive us, He cleanses us… He doesn’t just receive us, He indwells us… He doesn’t just justify us, He gives us a new heart. He causes us to hate the things we used to love and love the things we used to hate. He changes us from the inside out. His Holy Spirit comes to live within us, we are born of God, and His love is shed abroad in our hearts. We begin to think as He thinks and feel as He feels. He removes our stone hearts – cold, hard, and unbending and gives us a heart of flesh – warm, tender, and yielding. He gives us a heart to love Him, adore him, and enjoy Him. A heart of devotion… a heart of communion… a heart of compassion.

Through this change we become clay in the Potter’s hands, formed into vessels as He wills… vessels that are honorable in the Master’s house, fit for His use… vessels that are filled with the treasure of Jesus Christ. ~ Roy Lessin

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. 2 Corinthians 5:17

I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. Ezekiel 36:26

The wonder of a seed is that it produces life after it has been planted in the ground and dies. The message of the Gospel is that life has come out of death. Jesus died that we might live. He was buried and rose from the dead that we might be raised to newness of life. When we come to Jesus Christ by faith, turn from our personal darkness of sin, and receive His grace and forgiveness, He cleanses us and comes to live within our hearts. We are born again of His Spirit.

The resurrection life of Jesus Christ enters us and we are changed. He plants within us the seeds of His kingdom, and through our faith and obedience the new life begins to grow. The Christian life is not produced by studying how Jesus lived and then trying to copy Him. It is not like taking plastic fruit and attaching it to our garments to make us look like fruit trees. It is a real life... a meaningful life... it is His life lived out through us. It is His beauty that others see, it is His fragrance that others are drawn to, it is His fruit that others will partake of and be fed. HE is your life. HE is all there is... all that is worth knowing... and all that really matters. ~ Roy Lessin ~

I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. John 15:5

that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; Colossians 1:10

I'd like to meet:

Message from the Father ~ BELIEVE AND BE SATISFIED

Everyone longs to give themselves completely to someone. To have a deep relationship with another, to be loved thoroughly and exclusively. But to a Christian the Lord says no, not until you are satisfied and fulfilled and content with living, loved by Me alone, giving yourself totally and unreservedly to Me, to have an intensely personal and unique relationship with Me alone.

I love you my child, and until you discover that only in Me is your satisfaction to be found, you will not be capable of the perfect human relationship that I have planned for you. You will never be united with another or anything else, exclusive of any other desires or longings. I want you to stop planning, stop wishing, and allow Me to give you the most thrilling plan existing - one that you cannot imagine. I want you to have the best.

Please allow Me to bring it to you. You just keep watching Me, expecting the greatest things. Keep that satisfaction knowing that I Am. Keep learning and listening to the things I tell you and you must wait. Don't look around at the things others have gotten or that I have given them. Just keep looking off and away up to Me, or you'll miss what I have to show you.

And when you're ready, I'll surprise you with a love far more wonderful than any you would ever dream. You see, until you are ready and until the one I have for you is ready, you have to wait. I am working this very minute to have both of you ready at the same time. And until you are both satisfied exclusively with the life I have prepared for you through Me, you won't be able to experience the love that exemplifies your relationship with Me, and my perfect love.

Dear one, I want you to have this most wonderful love. I want you to see in the flesh a picture of your relationship with Me, and to enjoy materially and concretely the everlasting union of beauty and perfection and love that I offer you with Myself. I love you utterly: I am God Almighty. Believe and be satisfied.
