This picture of Jesus is from a movie called The Matthew Project. The first time I watched it, I was blown away by their representation of Jesus. It was literally the very first time I saw Jesus smiling and laughing in a movie. I cried and cried when I saw it because it touched my heart so much to see Jesus show human emotions. I had such a hard time wrapping my brain around watching Jesus laugh and cry and hug people. I know that this might sound weird to some of you, but this movie opened my eyes to see aspects of Jesus that I had been blind to. My view of Jesus was changed just by watching this movie.

Most of my life I felt like I was missing something. I guess you could say that even though I was a Christian, I really didn’t know who I was following. I knew I didn’t know God and His character even though I professed I did. So I decided that the only way I was going to know my heavenly father was to go on a God hunt. After reading and studying, I have found God to be so much more than I thought He was. I have learned that He wants to be a father to us. He wants to know our dreams, desires and needs. He wants us to tell Him how we feel and what we think. He wants us to know that He wants to be involved in our lives. He also wanted me to see Jesus as the physical representation of Him.

Have you ever felt like your life was like a movie on the Lifetime Channel? I sure have. I have definitely had enough drama to last a lifetime! HAHA! When I look at some of the people in the Bible, I feel like their lives could also be made into a movie and some even have. The character that fascinates me the most is David; the shepherd boy who became king. His life was full of intrigue, deception, adultery and triumph but despite that, he was a man after God’s heart.

I would like to start out by sharing Isaiah 38:17 with you today.

“Surely it was for my benefit that I suffered such anguish. In your love you kept me from the pit of destruction; you have put all my sins behind your back.”

You see dear friends, I lived most of my life in a pit of destruction, self-loathing, anger, hopelessness, despair and pain. I didn’t even realize I was in this pit until I started studying the Bible with Beth Moore. The Lord was able to use her in my life so I could see Him and myself clearly. My brother didn’t have the advantage of making it out of the pit, but I did. I want you to know if you are in a pit, there is a way out and I am here to help you. I want to be as transparent as I possibly can be and share everything I have learned with you. Continue reading “Getting Out of the Pit” →

I gave my heart to Jesus when I was twelve years old. I was desperate to follow Him. I had a deep yearning for love, acceptance, knowledge, kindness and truth. I was going to church, involved in Young Life, studying the Bible, praying and living my life the way I thought I was supposed to. I kept myself busy with activities and ministry. I continued this all through college and into my twenties. I loved the Lord and followed Him as much as I could. Once I became a Mom, I made sure my children went to church and were involved in activities that pointed them to Christ. I wanted my children to accept Christ into their hearts and they did. My prayer was for them to love the Lord with all their heart, soul and mind. I didn’t care what they did as long as they followed the Lord. I knew that nothing else was more important than that.
