- I love the Lord with all my heart, He is absolutely first and foremost in my life and then my wonderful husband Dean and my five children Matt, Anne, Alyssa, Dawson, and Ava. I am so blessed to have these children in my life, Matt is 25 has a beautiful girlfriend, Trish and they are have a beautiful little boy named Bodi Ray, my first grandson and we feel so blessed to have this new joy in our lives. He is the sweetest gift I could have ever received and I thank God for him everyday. Matt has brought so much joy to my life, by just being him, he is a wonderful stepson, really just a loving thoughtful heart, and wise beyond his years. Anne has especially been special to me. She is 23 and we have shared a close friendship. She is in the Air Force and oh how I miss seeing her face and our long, long talks about everything under the sun until all hours of the night. She is special because God planned her to be a part of a prestigous group of people who defend our country so selflessly. She is a sweet, kind and loving, wonderful stepdaughter. Alyssa is 20 and is such a awesome young lady, full of love and creativity, one of kind, very special stepdaughter. She has been living with us for many months now and we have grown so close with our time together, I know one day she has to leave, but I don't want her to, LOL. She has brought complete happiness to my life and I don't know what I would do without her. I can't imagine my life with out these children, they have brought so much joy to my life. Dawson is 6 and full of Charisma, he is in kindergarten this year and loves school. He also plays hockey, this is his second season. He is my strong willed child, that is sweet, and thoughtful, but strong willed, LOL, and though he may challenge me everyday, he has taught me so much about being a mother, and as he grows, I see his love for the Lord grow and nothing brings more happiness to my heart than that, He is a joy and a complete gift from God, who is growing to be a special guy with a servants heart. He is a sensitive and kind boy, and I love him so much. Ava is 3 and the baby of our big happy blended family. She will be starting her first session of Gymnastics in Eden Prairie, MN in October, taking after her mommy already in athletics, LOL. She is a angel from heaven, so kind, living to please her mommy and daddy and in so compliant, thank goodness, I don't know if I could have handled another strong willed child, LOL. She brings all kinds of 3 year old joy to our lives everyday, including her favorite song to sing, "Jesus Loves Me" which she sings on a daily basis, all those wonderful and cute things, that little 3 year olds do. Really she is a treasure that I cherish everyday, and hold so close to my heart. I love all 5 of my children and my grandson so much and can't even fathom my life without them in it. My husband Dean is my souls one true earthly mate, Jesus is the lover of my soul, but Dean, he is my souls one true earthly mate, and I respect and love him so much as my life partner, the head of our household. He guides me with Godly counsel everyday, and is the most thoughtful and loving man I have ever met. I love him so completely and feel so blessed he is not only my husband, but my brother in Christ. I thank Jesus everyday for the gifts he has given me through this family he has lent to me!
I love to sing, and am a member of my praise and worship team at church, To God be the Glory for He gave me a gift to use to glorify Him and minister to others with. I love making jewelry, scrapbooking, and creating signatures. I also love to do bible study, especially Beth Moore bible studies, she is an awesome bible teacher and I give God so much thanks for sending her to my life! I love exercising at the gym and hunting and fishing. I also love to get in God's word and am reading the bible from cover to back right now. I love going to christian women conferences and am a Ministry Association member of Women of Faith. Praise God! I am a dental hygienist by day and my most important job is raising my children in the light of God's love and faithfulness and His Word on how to live our lives.
I believe that when we are born, we are born into eternity and have to start living our eternity here as our goal to be together with Lord, so that when He comes and we will have heaven on earth for a thousand years, we will be ready to worship him all those days of our lives, as I do now on this earth.
I haven't always been living my eternity here on earth, saved by the Lord as a 5 year old and raised in His faith, I gave into the temptation of Satan, and I fell far away from the Lord for 14 years and yet He was always there ever ever faithful to me, I left Him, He didn't leave me. I am the prodigal daughter! See when I came home, I ran to Him and He took me in His arms, held my head to His chest and said, you have come home, lifted head, wiped the tears from my eyes, with forgiveness in His voice, He said, do you know I still love you. I have fallen at the feet of Jesus and cried on His feet and dried my tears from His feet with my hair and I have poured oil perfumes on His feet from my alabaster box full of my sins, and He has forgiven me and thrown my sins into the sea of forgetfullness and has forgotten them as if they never existed. I can't express the gratitude I have for Him, for that for His sacrifice for me. That is how good He is...thats how much He loves me, all of us. We all have our own alabaster boxes, and only God and us know what is in our alabaster box, so I be careful to judge people and what they have been through or may be going through.
In Genesis you can read where Jacob wrestles with God and comes face to face with Him and Jacob has to face all of the deceitful behavior He has lived, and when He comes face to face with God and overcomes, God frees Him and gives Him a new name, Isreal, so the name Jacob in Hebrew means deceiter and cheater, He lived up to that name until He overcame face to face with God. See we have to fight the honest fight, wrestle it out with God until the blessings comes, and that is when we are gloriously redefined. Jacob was one of God's great prophecies for the coming of Christ and His divine plan to save us so that we could have eternal life with Him. He gives Jacob a dream one night in the wilderness. Jacob finds a rock to lay His head on and falls asleep and that night He has a dream that there is a stairway extending FROM THE EARTH to Heavens gait and on this stairway are angels descending and ascending. Jacob awakes and realizes the Lord is there and as a sign of his belief, He tips the rock on its side like a pillar and anoints the rock with oil. This stairway or ladder we find out, is in fact Christ. God had to send His soon to earth to then die for our sins and resurrect back to heaven to sit at the right hand of His Father God until the second coming, you see that latter, Jacobs latter is Christ, Christ is our access from earth to heaven. You see dear ones, Christ and Messiah, both mean THE ANOINTED ONE!! Jesus tells us in Matthew that He is building his church on a ROCK. Funny how Jacob choose to sleep on a rock and after this dream believed enough to ANOINT IT. In Revelation, it says that when Jesus comes, if we have overcome and come face to face with Him and given our life to Him, that He will have a special name for us, that only He knows. Some things are meant to be private and intimate between us and God. He is sooo Good all the time. There is so much in His word that clearly shows us the way to live. I have had to find this out in so many hard ways and though God had the power to stop the bad things in my life from happening to me, He didn't because He wanted me to come to Him because I choose to, not because He made me come to Him. Through that He has built my character far beyond anything I could have ever imagined. This revelation in my life has happened over the last couple years. Boy I wasted alot of His and my time, but I am thankful He never forsake me or left me. Thank you Jesus, gracious you are good! One thing He has shown me, and placed on my heart to do, is this: He has redeemed me that I might help deliver others so that they can come face to face with God, wrestle out their deceit and overcome, until the blessing comes from him, and through that He will gloriously redefine them. Our redeemer LIVES!!!!
God created us in His image, and wants us to be like Him...and He has put on my heart that it is my responsibility to minister to others through evangelism, discipleship, and fellowship.
He sent His son so that we could live and be forgiven for our sins.
He died for us, He would do it all again if He had to, to show us what we really mean to Him. He cried for us, He hung on the cross so we wouldn't have to, He made a way to set our spirit free. Thats how much He loves us, that how much He wants us, He gave up His whole life that we might live, We are his children and we mean so much to Him.
He gave us the stars the sun the moon yes, He went that far so no matter where we are we think of Him. The mountains steep, the beautiful oceans are there to remind us that He can satisfy our every need.
Thats how much He loves us, that how much He wants us, He gave up our whole life that we might live, He wants us to see that we are His children and we mean so much to HIM.
John 3:16 says that God so loved the world He gave his only begotten Son and who so ever believeth in Him should not parish, but have everlasting life.
If you are here reading this and you don't know the Lord Jesus as your Savior, please know that all you have to do is believe, believe in God, His Son Jesus and His Holy Spirit...pray get on your knees and pray this prayer...
Lord I believe in you, I believe you came here to earth as God's divine plan to set an example of how I should live my life, and I believe you lived out our Father Gods plan to die upon the cross for my sins so that I may be forgiven and can live, and Lord I have failed because I am a sinner, I have sinned and I don't want to lead a sinful life anymore, please forgive me Lord, I am willing to repent to you now and ask for your forgiveness and make changes in my life to work towards a personal loving relationship with you Lord, please Lord come into my life, come into my heart, I want my heart to be your home Lord, fill me Lord with Your Holy Spirit and teach me Lord oh teach me Lord how to listen to your Holy Spirit and let You lead my life all to glorify you, Lord, I pray this in your precious awesome name, Lord, Amen.
Often after we have turned our life over to Christ, we are left with where to go from here. Seek out those who can help you grow in your faith, listen to the Holy Spirit, because when we pray this prayer we are immediately indwelt with the Holy Spirit, but it is only through inviting Him daily into your life, inviting Him to fill you up daily, that you will see the changes occuring in your life. We are not saved by good deeds, we are saved and given eternal life by our FAITH in and through God's grace.
A good bible reference about being born again, can be found in John 3, where Jesus has a conversation with Nicodemus about being born again through the spirit. www.biblegateway.com is a wonderful site to search and read the bible in many different translations. If you feel moved, go and visit this site for growth.
Being born again in spirit through Christ simply means that you believe and have invited the Lord to live in your heart and come into your life.
Dear Father God, the giver of all good gifts, please take Your Words I have shared and place them on open ears and open hearts to those who have read this, so that Your Word may reach the lost and bring them to You, all to glory You, Lovingly I pray this in your sons precious name, Jesus, Amen.
Jesus bless you all, Lovingly, Danielle
