Mauri's Story
STORY OF ME AND MY FAMILY
I started creating webpages in March 1998, and have designed a website for my family, one for my Mother and in Memory of my father, one for each of our seven children, one for my sister, a one surname Genealogy website for Gandys everywhere, and several for Genealogy friends, and Christian friends. Though I love being a Mother of seven wonderful children, (3 grown and living in Austin), Wife, Daughter, Sister, part time Church Secretary, Teacher to my 3 youngest children, (we homeschool), & Friend, what I love more than anything is Jesus Christ. Without Him I never would have never been able to survived this Life. What I have learned in the last 5 years is that Jesus wants us to have a real and personal relationship with His father, God.
I started this site in April after I put together the Newsletter for the church I work for. It was the last day and I needed a 1/2 page filler, so I came home and found the Prophecy and Fulfillment chart in my husbands Bible, ( Spirit Filled Life Bible, King James Version, Thomas Nelson Publishers, "the Suffering Servant" chart, Page 1033, Isaiah 53:12). I used it for the newsletter. After I sent the newsletter out, I wanted to let more people see it. So I decided to learn how to make a chart that would link to each scripture. It took days and days, but I was please with the final outcome, and it was ready by Easter. In May I added a letter that I had received from Craig's Uncle Bobby, for our Lighthouse Newsletter. Many people wrote back being deeply touched by this story. Each month we will add another Newsletter as a webpage and send to all my internet friends. If you would like to be on this mailing list please email me at Beacon of Light.
All that is left of the Bookstore is a Memory and a large blue sign of a beautiful Lighthouse Beacon. A special friend made it for the store. This beautiful piece of art decorates the back of our current tiny home. Our ministry in that town ended, and now I believe God is moving us to Minister on the internet. Whatever His direction for our life is the MOST important to us. I would rather live in the inner city slums in the Shadow of God's Hand, then on top of a mountain top full of Mans Monetary rewards! Those are just comforts for the day, but walking with an intimate relationship with God is the richest Blessing a person can have.
I Pray that Jesus will lead you to a closer more personal relationship with Him and His Awesome Father God.
