GOODNESS OF GOD CH 7: FULL OF GRACE
Although I experienced God’s love when I accepted Christ at the age of 8, I did not fully experience His grace. This was because of my focus upon my schoolwork to get acceptance from my family members. I thought I had to earn God’s love. I was away from God during my teenage years. When…
GOODNESS OF GOD CH 6: GOD IS MERCIFUL
I will never forget the lesson God showed me on His mercy. During my teenage years, I shut God out of my life. I thought I could do it on my own. However, my independent spirit left me feeling empty. At the age of 25, I reached out to God for help. God met me…
GOODNESS OF GOD CH 5: GOD ANSWERS OUR PRAYERS
“God, help me!” I cried out to God one day. I was in my first semester of graduate school. The fibromyalgia seemed unbearable at times. This was one of these times. As I cried out to God, I will never forget His response. At first, tears of sorrow went down my face. I realized the…
GOODNESS OF GOD CH 4: GOD IS HOLY

GOODNESS OF GOD CH 3: GOD IS DEPENDABLE
Although my home was filled with turmoil, I had a childlike trust in God after I was saved at the age of eight. However, that trust was shattered when my 21-year-old brother committed suicide when I was 12. I thought that it was God’s fault that He took my brother away and I became angry…
GOODNESS OF GOD CH 2: GOD DIRECTS OUR STEPS
I was confused and upset. I had just found out that I had stage 4 colon cancer which had spread to my liver.

That sparked…
GOODNESS OF GOD CH 1: AWESOME GOD
“Our God is an awesome God, He reigns from heaven above…” When I first sang this song, tears and gratefulness filled my soul. I was so thankful for God getting me through the hard time of working through my past pain. However, nothing could compare to what happened just a few years later. I had…
DILIGENCE CH 8: DILIGENT PRAYER
Ever since I was 15, I struggled with what I called “staring spells.” At first, the doctor thought it was epilepsy but the tests came back normal.

DILIGENCE CH 7: DILIGENT FORGIVENESS
Growing up as a child, I felt as if it was my own fault for the sexual abuse I endured. I put myself down and felt shameful. I will never forget the message God gave me when I returned to Him at the age of 25: I have already forgiven you, My child, you must…
DILIGENCE CH 6: DILIGENT SERVANTHOOD
I will never forget the lesson I learned on servanthood. I had attended a Christian retreat where I experienced the joy of agape love. I was overwhelmed with the love I experienced. A year later, I was called upon to now serve at the same retreat. As a “cookie,” I served the pilgrims by cooking…
