An attempt to share my journey with God and friends as I discover His truths daily. He promises In Isaiah 45:3 to give us the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places. Some of those treasures I have found, and others I am still digging and searching for. Thank you for joining me on my quest and sharing my heart's treasures!
Aww Cora, thanks for that comment on my blog.... that's just SO sweet! :D
But I don't want to 'just take the offer' though, I mean.. if you're going to send me those books, I really want to send something in return.. Didn't you say you liked Dutch cookies so much? ;)
How about I send you some of those and maybe a bar of homemade soap..? If you'd like to, you can e-mail me at linda *at* amarese *dot* com, we can exchange addresses....
Daily LOVE Check: Taken from Amy Carmichael's book, IF
If I find myself half-carelessly taking lapses for granted, "Oh, that's what they always do," "Oh, of course she talks like that, he acts like that," then I know nothing of Calvary love.
I am the middle
child of five,
born to Dutch immigrant
parents who settled
in New Jersey.
I was always a dreamer,
hoping some day
to move away and be
on my own.
Dreams have a way
of coming true,
but in a more realistic,
down to earth way.
I have been on my own
and away from home
since I was 18.
After 3 years
at Prairie Bible Institute,
I moved to Florida
and began my independence.
It was harder than
I had imagined, full of disappointments,
opportunities, adventure,
and people.
All of these molded me
into what I am today --
some of which I wish
I could change
and do over,
some I wish I had more of.
I can only thank the Lord
for always being there,
even when I wanted
my own way,
for loving me when
all I did was love myself,
and for waiting for me
to come home to Him,
when I wanted to make my own
wayward ways.
He saw me then. . . .
He sees me now. . .
and He loves me still!
