Our Story

 

In life, we mess up and it seems as if we can’t get ourselves together. I feel that way often and used to overcompensate by trying to do what the world said was good. However the world isn’t always telling us what is best for us. Usually, it is telling us to do things that bring harm and that are more beneficial for them and not what is best for us. This led me to become a lukewarm Christian. I was proclaiming to all that I follow Jesus, yet living my life in quite the opposite direction. Thankfully, God knows what is best for us. In Matthew 7:21-23, it tells us of how we can pretend to follow Jesus but not really know Him. And in doing so He will deny us. These verses changed me. This led me to study the Bible and look at it through the perspective of what does God want me to know in this. God has shown me so much during all of this, causing me to fill countless journals with what I was learning. So exhilarating and excited I am by it all!

However in leading many people over the years, I heard many pull verses out of context, not understand why many stories were in the Bible and many gave up reading it altogether because they felt like it didn’t apply to them anymore. All this led me, (and the constant tug from God and others) to help them see this is not the case. The Bible is so applicable today, just as it was thousands of years ago. Many times, more than we know. Through the Bible we learn so much and my desire is to make it a little easier to see and to help wherever I can to lead people to Jesus. I am not perfect and neither are you, but hopefully together we can grow closer to Jesus and sin less as we go through our journey of life. In all of this, God has brought me many people who have helped me in this journey. Mostly my family! My husband, children, my parents and parents-in-law have put in countless hours reviewing and helping me with my confidence in this calling. Also my many friends who, thankfully, have encouraged me and helped in this too. God brought them to me and I am so blessed to have them with me in this adventure. Never will I take any of them or God for granted. I am forever grateful. Always grateful, Tania
