| Love Never Fails |
| to encourage and entertain |
| I was raised in the Catholic Church. I was in church every Sunday not because I had to be but because I wanted to be. Sunday worship was important to me. God was important to me. When I was a little girl, probably about eight or nine years old, I had a dream one night that I've never forgotten. It was recess and I was in the school yard. Walking beside me was the Lord Jesus and He held my hand as I gazed up into His face and hung on His every word. I like to think that the dream foreshadowed my kingdom walk or, at the very least, that Jesus wanted me to enjoy a real and personal relationship with Him. It wasn't until I was 25 that I chose that intimate relationship. Brought to my knees one evening in March, 1984, after an episode with a fortune-teller, I surrendered my desire to be married and told the Lord I chose to live the life He wanted for me, even if it that life meant the denial of a husband and children. (See my bio.) That night, Jesus said to me, "For God so loved the world (Anna) that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever (Anna) believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life." That night, I chose to be born again like Nicodemus. For the Lord's good pleasure, He blessed me with a loving and Godly husband but, equally for His good pleasure, He has chosen to keep my womb empty. But since He gave me a "mother's" heart, He knew all that love couldn't and shouldn't go to waste. That's why He also gave me nieces and nephews and two cats -- Kiko, my perfect little gentleman and Misha, my high-spirited tomboy. The Lord has taught me much since that long-ago night in 1984. And He's not done yet! He continues to show me, in His sweet and gentle fashion, other areas in my life that I must yield to His Lordship. I pray for a teachable spirit. I pray for the salvation of my entire household. I claim each of you reading this today as members of my household. And with Joshua, I claim, "As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." |
| My Faith Story |
| I believe in the one, true God, eternally existent in the Persons of the Holy Trinity -- in the Father Almighty, creator of heaven and earth (Genesis 1:1), in Jesus Christ, His only Son (Matthew 3:16,17), my Lord and Savior, and in the Holy Spirit (John 15:26, 16:13). I believe in the Holy Scriptures -- all the canonical books of the Old and New Testament making up the Bible -- are divinely inbreathed, infallible, inerrant, and the authoritative Word of God, useful in showing me (us) what is wrong in my (our) life, in straightening me (us) out, and in teaching me (us) to do what is right. (II Timothy 3:16). I believe in the virgin birth of the Lord Jesus Christ (Isaiah 7:14, Luke 1:26-35), His deity (John 1:1), His sinless and perfect life (John 1:14), His crucifixtion (John 19:14-23), the eternal all-sufficiency of His atoning death (John 19:30, Hebrews 9:22), His bodily resurrection on the third day (Mark 16:1-6), His ascension into heaven and sitting on the right hand of God (Luke 24:51, Hebrews 10:12), His intercession on my (our) behalf (Hebrews 7:25), His personal coming again at His second advent to judge the living (Ezekial 20:33-38, Matthew 25:31-46) and the dead (Daniel 12:2, Revelation 20:12, II Thessalonians 1:7-10). I believe, no matter what I (we) have done, I (we) am made right in God's sight when I (we) trust in Jesus Christ -- who so rich in unfailing love and faithfullness, He purchased my (our) freedom from eternal death with His shed blood -- to take away my (our) sins, save me (us) (Romans 3:22) and give me (us) the right to become a child of God (John 1:12). I believe, that although I (we) am a sinner deserving damnation, my (our) justification is a judicial act of God on my (our) behalf based solely on the merits of Christ, that when God looks down on me (us), He sees me (us) clothed in the righteousness of His Son (II Corinthians 5:21, Ephesians 2:8, 9). I believe in the regenerating power of the Holy Spirit (John 14:16,17) and in holy living (Romans 12:1,2). I believe in Christ's Lordship of the Church (Ephesians 1:10, 22, 23), in the observance of the ordinances of Christian baptism by immersion for the believer (Matthew 3:13-16) and the Lord's Supper (Mark 14:22-24, I Corinthians 11:23-26). I believe in the everlasting blessedness of the redeemed in heaven (Revelation 19:7-9) and the eternal doom of the unrepentant in the lake of fire (Revelation 20:14, 15, 21:8). |
| My Belief |
My belief that love never fails (I Corinthians 13:8 NIV) and my passion for God,
has led me to write what’s in my heart—love—and what’s in my soul—faith in
God. My heartwarming stories of love, romance, and Christian faith are
designed to encourage and entertain.
My desire is for the Lord to use my novels, short stories, blogs, and newsletters
to encourage people to hunger for His Word, the Bible. My desire is that in
reading my stories, you will be directed to the saving, healing, delivering
knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. My desire is that when you finish reading
my books, the Holy Spirit will encourage you to read His Book, the Bible. My
desire is that you will enter into a personal, intimate, dynamic relationship with
our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I pray that as you explore Scripture, you will
experience the absolute joy and peace of being in Abba Father’s presence.
My dear friend, trust in Jesus Christ, who loves you, to forgive you your sins and
snatch you out from the kingdom of darkness and plant you in the garden of our
Heavenly Father. As you taste and see the goodness of Scripture, the Holy
Spirit will renew your mind and refresh your spirit, cleansing you, molding you
and re-creating you into a brand new person, one whose name is written in the
Lamb's Book of Life. I encourage you to read the Holy Bible for it contains all
of God's promises. One of them is, "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just
and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness." 1 John 1:9
(NIV). Another is, "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only
Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life." John 3:
16 (NIV). I pray you will choose life everlasting.
