My story with God
Raised in a severely legalistic christian environment that limited my understanding of a relationship with Christ. However, God started me on my own spiritual journey once we started growing our family. The book "How Now Shall We Live" by Chuck Colson started my journey into knowing my God the way He wants me too....
Other stuff about me:
I'm gregarious, somewhat outspoken but humble at the same time, I have a hard time fitting into "church" (though our family attends weekly and we always have....) because I get frustrated with so many things like the pushy altar call or the pushy old lady in the back row shushing the young mums with babies.

I am praying for more friends that are true and understand my heart.

My husband is my love though we are wired so very differently that I do need a strong female BFF .... of which I do not have.

All of our family are in ministry and do not live close. We find that frustrating....but we deal.

I adore art and am currently diving into "iconography" but with a modern slant ....

    Nehemiah 9:6

    Thou, [even] thou, [art] LORD Alone;
    thou hast made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host,
    the earth, and all [things] that [are] therein, the seas, and all that [is] therein,

    and thou preservest them all;
    and the host of heaven Worshippeth THEE.


    Isaiah 9:6

    For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given:

    and the government shall be upon His shoulder:

    and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor,
    The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

    I am being made aware that Jesus is coming sooner than many think. Many will not be ready for His return. We need to be ready, wise virgins, keeping oil in our lamps.

    Please do keep on praying for the request of mine down below, and I know I can count on you to do it:

    Please "WIN the 10/40 WINDOWS" for JESUS CHRIST.
    The 10/40 Windows (located between 10 - 40 degrees North of Equator - between West Africa to East Asia) need Missionaries, have no church at all, and there live about 40 percent of the world population. INDONESIA, my country is in the 10-40 windows though we have churches. Please also pray for ISRAEL and all over the world. Let's get on our knees, praying hand in hand with me for their revival. I look forward to the day when the Lord who I kneel to worship will be recognized by all the living and the dead as the One True Lord.
    Thank you so very much

    In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. John 14:2

    A message was given recently in which Jesus said, the mansion I went to prepare for you is now finished. All is ready for Me to bring My people home.
