Welcome...

Welcome to my new blog. I can't seem to log in to my alternate blog (http://helives4u.blogspot.com), so here goes something new!

Please stick with me while I introduce myself. I am a wife and mother of 2, living in central USA. Until a few years ago, my Christian journey was much like a roller coaster.

One morning, as I read my bible, it struck me how the words and stories there were ancient. I had an overwhelming feeling that God had turned His back on us. I looked at my Bible and asked, "WHERE ARE YOU?"

Within a few weeks, He answered my question. It was right before Christmas when my phone rang, and on the other end was a gentleman from a "Christian publishing company". He was needing a website to distribute his books from. Eventually, I would learn that this company published the messages of True Life in God.

The messages of True Life in God are divine messages given through Vassula Ryden. I know, it may sound really strange and extremely hokey, especially if you have never heard of such a thing.

It was extremely difficult for me to wrap my arms around the concept that God continues to communicate with us. I grew up in the Southern Baptist Church. For those of you that don't know, what that means is that I grew up being taught to FEAR all things supernatural.

The day I learned what True Life in God was, I begged God for answers. "What to do...What to do...?" Finally, in the stillness of my heart, I heard, "I am here, lean on me."

I was afraid to even open a True Life in God book. Finally, I felt as I could at least read t"The Vassula Enigma", which was an interview given by a gentleman that had hoped to disprove Vassula and the messages of True Life in God.

After reading this book, I would "glance" though some of the messages, but I was fearful of immersing myself in them. I prayed and prayed and prayed some more. Again, in my heart I felt I should read from the book of Psalms. As I read, a peace came over me and I felt God reassuring me.

I started reading the True Life in God messages and recognized His voice right away. He is ALIVE and well and has never abandoned us. What an Amazing Grace!
