What God said to me

Lose yourself. Follow Me.

What I said to God

Growing up, I was George and Earline’s daughter and Richard’s sister. I became Kenny’s wife; April, Melissa, and Joy’s mom; Tim and Andrew’s mother-in-law. Who am I? My life is different than I thought it would be. I am different. I have certainly lost myself along the way, but for what? I am afraid it has not been for You. Perhaps that is why I have become so restless and discontent. I long for You and “the whole measure of the fullness of Christ” (Ephesiand 4:13b, NIV).
