Being a God Seeker

All my life I have been searching for something to fill the void way down deep in my soul. I grew up in the church and was saved at the age of 10, but for various reasons, I failed to completely surrender to God until the age of forty. It was at this time, two years ago, that I found myself broken and humble. I returned to my first love, Jesus. Since that season I have been seeking God with all my heart, all my strength and all my mind. He has renewed my relationship with Him and restored broken relationships with family. My husband and I made a committment to God to no longer be lukewarm Christians.

There are many passages of truth from God's Word that have ministered to us. One of our favorites is 2 Chron. 7:14"If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land." We both have experienced the healing hand of God like we never thought was possible. We rejoice and praise Him for pouring out His love, grace, and mercy upon us. We have been REVIVED by the very breath of Jesus Christ. It is our prayer that Christians across our country will realize that they too can experience the POWER and the PRESENCE of the Lord!!

Renee,
I LOVE IT! I am delighted to watch the journey that you seek daily and more excited to see those who decide to follow your path on this journey to be God Seekers themselves, learning to love God with all of their heart, soul, and mind because of your example. Also, the "purple" is "perfect"!
Rejoicing with you my friend!

Donna, Thank you for the words of encouragement. Your journey has inspired me! The brunch was wonderful today. I was touched by the story from the video about what God is doing in the Bangee gypsy tribe. Isn't HE just SOOOOO AMAZING!!!! May God bless you this afternoon!
