The pages of this Soul Journey Blog come from entries made in my journals over the years (beginning with the April 1, 2007 entry, if you’d like to read them in order). Most of them were only meant to be shared with those closest to me. Some of them I never intended to share with anyone. I believe, however, that God has asked me to take this vulnerable step of humbly laying these parts of my life bare before you.
If you find yourself reading this, know that I have prayed for you and I believe our meeting is by Divine destination. My hopeful prayer for you is that, through my inadequate words, I can manage convey what I have learned about the most Amazing, Beautiful Love that has ever existed. This Infinite Love that has called to me and that calls to each of us.
If my story could convince you of just one thing, it would be this…You are worthy of love and YOU ARE LOVED. No strings attached.
With All My Heart,
The Call
My Soul Journey Begins… It all started when I was 15 years old. Well, it probably started long before that, but this is when I consciously checked into the story. I was raised in a traditional church, though it did not seem to have much to do with our family’s everyday life. It was just…
Confirmation
“We know that no one is made right with God by obeying the law. It is by believing in Jesus Christ.” Galatians 2:16. I was cleaning out my nightstand the other day, and I came across a number of articles and books with sections that I had highlighted as well as some of my old…
Captivating
As little girls, we have this need for validation, and naturally, many of us first look for it from our fathers. We want to know if we are special, beautiful, lovable. For many of us, the answer we get is “No, you are not that beautiful or special. You are not quite good enough. You…
The Need
“Because you belong to Christ, you have everything you need.” – Colossians 2:10. I began to realize that I have looked to everyone and everything but God to meet the needs of my heart, even while considering myself one of His followers. I have often been convinced that I could be happy if only my…
My Filthy Rags
“…All our righteous acts are like filthy rags.” – Isaiah 64:6. As I’ve already admitted, I’m a perfectionist. My natural tendency is to try to do everything perfect. I wanted to be the perfect Christian, perfect wife, perfect mother, perfect whatever. Several years ago, God began teaching me about grace and setting me free from…
God’s Voice
“Then He said, ‘Go out and stand on the mountain in the Lord’s presence.’ At that moment, the Lord passed by. A great and mighty wind was tearing at the mountains and was shattering cliffs before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind, there was an earthquake, but the…
Feelings
Although I concede that God is love, my feelings sometimes tell me otherwise. My feelings have convinced me at times that God is not there for me, that God will not hear me, that He will judge me and I’ll be found unacceptable, and that He may even kill someone I love to get my…
Dealing with My Enemy
“Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil. For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.” -…
