Since I was a little girl I was drawn to the fairytale movies. You could say this was not out of the ordinary as every little girl dreams of prince charming. As I got older, my heart wanted so bad to fall in love. I married the man of my dreams when I was 21 years old, although it took me a few years to realize just how truly amazing William is as we had to grow together. Still though, my heart longed for a greater love. I still felt there was a hole in my heart that neither my husband nor my beautiful children could fill. It wasn’t until my mother died when I was 28 that I truly felt this need in my heart had to be filled. This began my journey of truly falling in love with God. I was saved at nine years old and knew I wanted to be pleasing to God, but years of dry Christianity and seeking out the world left me searching for a greater relationship with my Lord. I no longer wanted to relate to God based on good works or seeking after provision for my life—a relationship based upon need no longer worked! I remember sitting in my closet about a week after my mom’s passing and I cried out to God, “Lord do not let me take the dependence I had on my Mom and put it on my husband. I have to know you!” From that point forward I moved towards closer intimacy with the Lord. This is a process that will last me a life time but I can tell you this—the Holy Spirit is my Prince charming. He is the apple of my eye…the “IT” factor if you will. He is funny, sweet, kind, and firm. His very presence makes my heart sing and I long to hear His voice which I am most familiar with. In fact, I can pick His voice out over all others as we have spent a great deal of time together. I tell you all of this to say—my purpose in life, my true passion is to seek the Lord with my whole heart and to help others to know Him in the same way. God truly is the only one in this world that can satisfy the need of your heart. He is the most magnanimous, fun, just, protective and loving. The list goes on and on. There are no words that can truly express His character. Only by experience can you truly know His greatness!
