Life as we individually know it ... Each of us has a past that is influencing how we see our present. We walk through our day with all of the pressures and demands of life with a past, in the present, and also with a hope for a future.I, too, journey this thing called life. I was a business woman who encountered the living God and gave it all up to follow Him. I am who He is making me to be in the challenges, disappointments, hurts, betrayals, stresses, and demands of life. I do not always have the correct thoughts or responses. I have made my share of mistakes. I am what and who I am in this moment because of life and my personal relationship with a living and loving God.Many do not understand me, but He does. Many have hurt me, but He will not. Many have lied to me, but He will not. Through it all, I have come to value to the highest degree the first moments of my early mornings when the house is quiet, it is still dark outside, my coffee is freshly brewed, my iPod is playing worship music in my ears, and I open the Word of God for my nourishment and encouragement for the day. These are those moments ..."I have come to truly appreciate anything this author writes. Her honesty and willingness to share what God taught her through her personal journey will leave you encouraged and filled with hope."- Laura Wagner Akers, Rhode Island, USA
