Welcome to ‘Seeing God’ I hope you find inspiration that draws you closer to Jesus here!
I am a pastor, writer, artist, wife and madly in love with Jesus. My husband and I live in Nebraska with our two dogs and two cats.
God put a fire in my heart and a passion to write and preach about finding our identity in Jesus; through developing a deep intimate personal relationship with Him. My passion for helping people find their identity in Jesus stems from having a hard time finding my own identity. I am a Michigan native and proud of it. Growing up I had a mom who loved Jesus and a Father who didn’t. I loved going to church, the fun, the people and the experiences I had with Jesus. But that’s all I let Jesus be, an experience.
I didn’t know I could have a personal daily relationship with Him or really that I was supposed to. I went from church experience to church experience, all the time allowing everything around me to influence me. I was shy and insecure until I turned eighteen. That’s when I made a decision to leave church. I let my emotions lead me and did whatever helped fill the void at the time. I found my identity in my job, and my boyfriend. I let others define me by trying to prove their assumptions about me wrong. I let other opinions define me until I hit my rock bottom. I had a pregnancy scare.
That’s when I reached out to a friend from church I had grown up with that had kept in contact with me over the years. At my lowest point, I gave my life back to Jesus. God’s overwhelming grace, love and forgiveness completely changed me. I couldn’t believe He would take me back and that I wouldn’t have to live in guilt and shame. Jesus gave me new identity. That was 2008.
Now I can’t image even a moment of my life without Jesus in it. God’s brought me on an amazing journey of Him living through me. He can do the same for you.
My personal daily reminder of this is Jeremiah 20:9-10
It is a reminder that no matter how hard life gets or how much opposition there is, His word is like a fire in my heart and I can’t help but share.
Let’s venture together to See God in everything!
