the Heart of Eden

This blog was started to answer a call on my heart to take a step of faith and share the writings of love, wisdom, testimony, prophecy, supernatural occurrences in my life, but mainly to share the love and spirit of the living God; to share His heart and the urge of a message, a calling, for His children to mature, to seek Him, and return to our original identity.

​

I was born and raised in the South, the "Bible belt", as most of the USA refers to it. I attended Southern Baptist as a child, went nearly a half of a decade attending only on Easter and Christmas and Vacation Bible schools in the summer; I attended a Church of Christ based middle and High school, and went to church with friends that ranged from Church of Christ, Methodist, Catholic, Church of God, and Presbyterian. As a youth and into adulthood I attended the Church of the Nazarene. Through these experiences and years, I witnessed great joys and great sorrows, acceptance and rejection, genuine people who love God and others that used it as a title. I experienced different "preferences of worship, belief in gender roles within the church, and different criteria of lifestyle. Needless to say, I witnessed a lot that made me "hungry" to discover what did God say; what were His preferences? Who was I in His eyes? ...because I saw some that resembled the things I knew God was and others that truly hurt my soul. At about 14 yrs old I "dove" into the Word. I wanted to know what the bible said not what the Pastor or teacher said. Even through it all, God allowed me to see Him separate of the actions of people that were either responsible or irresponsible with the name they claimed to live in. Over the years, God has grown me much. Sometimes through GREAT trials of life and other times easily. I LOVE Jesus. He is real, alive, and present!

​

God has given us little lessons all around us and reminders of Him that are can be related to His word and life, but often times you must be paying attention to see them; Seeking Him. He never planned for us to have the "rug pulled out from under us". You must be "awake", sober in thought,  a heart willing to receive, and simply ask Him...seek Him... and You WILL definitely find Him.

 

May your life be changed for the better and may you give God all the glory!
