I am a Christian and have been "born again" for many years.
I think about the trip I made down the aisle when I was 17 years old
and it still brings tears to my eyes. I had been in church all my life.
The sad thing is that people can sit on a pew and still go to hell.
The Lord reached out and touched me on this particular Sunday night.
It just so happens that it was also Valentines Day and so I've always
thought that was pretty special. All of a sudden the Cross became real
for me. I realized how very much God must love me to give His only son,
Jesus to die in my place. The Lord came to seek that which was lost and
no matter how good I was trying to be, I was lost and on my way to hell.

You say, well, you haven't been through what I have and He could never
forgive me for what I've done. Yes, He can and Yes, He will. He loves
you so much and all you have to do is invite Him into your heart.

Have I ever messed up? Yes, many times. Have I ever turned my back on
on Him, yes I have. He never went anywhere, it was me. I have been married
twice and divorced twice. Neither time did I pray and seek the Lord's will
instead I "wanted what I wanted" and then had to live with it.

I would never want to say anything to hurt my children and so I will
leave the details out of what I went through. Let's just say that I
know what broken hearted and miss treatment are. I know what abuse is
and it's many forms. The Lord had to get me to a place where I would listen.
I hope everyone doesn't have to be as stubborn or try to find other ways
to deal with the pain. Jesus has always been there for "whosoever". He
is my Shepherd and I am asking Him daily to keep me right next to Him.

I walked down that aisle and gave my heart to Jesus and never one
time have I ever felt lost again. I know without a doubt that I will
go to Heaven when I die. Sometimes I have disappointed Him and not
prayed when I should have. Sometimes I say things before thinking
and sometimes I feel Him nudging me to do something and I don't do it.
When you know to do right and don't do it, it is sin. Sin hinders and
makes us miserable. Sometimes I come to Him and I just say, please Jesus,
remember what I am made of and help me to do better. I hate that
I make Him sad but never one time have I ever felt Him stop loving me.

Sometimes, I can almost sense Him laughing at me because I can really
be silly but even when I sense this, I feel His love even stronger.
In the quiet sad moments, I feel His arms wrapped around me and comforting
me and reminding me...He is always there for me, He is my strength and
the very foundation of my life. He is the song in my heart and knowing His
presence takes away the pain of all the suffering and abuse that has happened.

The Lord has blessed me with a special vocation. I am a former Deputy
Sheriff and Jail Matron and now I am a nurse. I work in a prison with
500 men and 500 women. Since being at the prison, I have been able to
share what Jesus has done for me and how He answers my prayers. These
hurting and broken people have made mistakes. The only real answer for
them is Jesus. He can forgive them and let them become new creatures in
Him. So many have never had a decent home life and started out as
throw away children. Having listened to their stories and prayed for
many of them, led to the creation of this web site. I know without a doubt
that there are those people out there hurting and having made big mistakes
of their own. I know that the worse place in the world to be is in a
state of hopelessness. To believe that no one cares and that their life
means nothing.

I am here to tell you what the Lord wants you to know. You are special!
He loves you more than you can possibly understand and He wants you
to know Him. I also want you to know that even though I don't know you,
I care. You say, well, that's easy to say. The proof is in the walk, you
are so very right! So, how much do I care? Well, I care enough to come
home after my shift of work and make web pages at 2AM. I care enough to
continue to share Jesus after spending the last 12 years making kidney stones
and working to pay for all the surgeries and medication and after 105 stones
I still know Jesus loves me and will use what happens to me to witness to
others. I have had 2 tumors removed and faced death in the hosptial room.
While I lay there praying and thinking my life was coming to an end,
Jesus wrapped His arms around me and said, I'm not through with you yet.

I care enough to tell you that what happens to you matters to me. I
can listen to you, I can pray for you and I can lead you to the one
who has All of the answers.
So, let me hear from you, tell me..what do you have to loose? Come,
Jesus offers you a drink from the well that never will run dry. He
is the Good Shepherd, He is shelter amid the storms of life and
He is the giver of truth and light. So, come.......
