Get To Know Him

Get to Know Him

Have you ever felt like your life was like a feather, just floating, trying to find your place and purpose? A feather may land for a moment, but with the slightest gust of wind, it drifts away again.

Before I discovered what a relationship with Jesus Christ truly was, my life felt much like that. I found temporary satisfaction in things of this world, like relationships and material possessions. I lived for the weekends and the next good time. But when the excitement faded and the nights came to an end, so did my happiness. I was left searching again, drifting without direction or purpose.

For as long as I can remember, I was aware of Jesus, but I didn’t truly know Him. My relationship with Him was almost nonexistent. When I finally realized that He was what I had been missing all along, everything changed.

God is not a distant figure or a genie in the sky granting wishes. He is personal, present, and purposeful. We were never created to drift through life. We were created with intention to know Him and walk in relationship with Him.

From the very beginning, God’s plan was for us to live in perfect harmony with Him. But because of sin, that relationship was broken. Every one of us has fallen short, and because of that, there is a cost we could never pay on our own.

But God, in His great love, made a way.

He sent His one and only Son, Jesus Christ, fully God and fully man, to live the life we could not live and to die the death we deserved. Through His sacrifice on the cross, He paid our debt in full.

Salvation is a gift. It cannot be earned. It can only be received.

All we are called to do is believe in Jesus, turn from our sin, and place our trust in Him.

If you have never taken that step and feel God stirring your heart, I invite you to pray:

Heavenly Father,
I don’t know You, but I want to. I believe You are my Creator, my Provider, my Sustainer, my Father, and my Friend. I believe You sent Your Son, Jesus Christ, to this world, fully God and fully man, to live a life I could not live and to die a death I deserve.
I ask You to come into my life and change me. Change my heart. I repent of my sins and ask You to forgive me. Help me to live for You all the days of my life.
Thank You for saving me.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

If you just made this decision, I would love to connect with you and encourage you as you begin your walk with Christ.

If you already know Jesus but feel distant and want to grow in your relationship with Him, here are a few simple and important steps:

  • Find a home church and get involved. God calls the church His bride, and it is where we grow, serve, and stay rooted in truth.
  • Read your Bible daily. It is God’s Word, written through ordinary people by the power of the Holy Spirit. It is both our guide and His love letter to us.
  • Pray continually. Prayer is simply talking to God. You don’t need perfect words. Just come to Him honestly and often.
  • Surround yourself with other believers. We were never meant to do life alone. God designed us for community, encouragement, and support.

No matter where you are in your journey, you are not too far gone, and it is never too late. God is calling you, and He is ready to meet you right where you are.

Seasons of Life

  “Oh, mirror in the sky, what is love? Can the child within my heart rise above? Can I sail through the changin' ocean tides? Can I handle the seasons of my life?”   Stevie Nicks wrote these lyrics in 1973. I have listened to Landslide more times than I can count, and each time it hits right in the gut. It’s a song about change. About fear, love, aging, and the quiet questions we all carry as life keeps moving forward.   As   I listened again recently, with the end of another year approaching, I found myself reflecting on the last twelve months. This has been a year! I’m not even sure what adjective fits best. Crazy maybe. Long. Unexpected.   Sometimes life throws so many curveballs at such an accelerated speed, all you can do is try to keep up so they don’t knock you down.   2025 has been filled with a plethora of lessons in love, humility , fear, doubt, grief, and joy. They didn’t all come easy. But then again, we were never promised easy.   In fa...

I Waited.

  I beckoned you to come near, but my way didn’t look like what you wanted.   The lights of the night drew you in, Pulling you into dark corners.   I waited.   You searched for acceptance   in people with empty promises and hollow souls.     You longed for love, not realizing it was mine you needed all along.   I waited.   You turned toward me in moments in need, in fear but each time, you pulled back thinking the distance was too great to cross.   I waited.   The end of your rope seemed to get longer.   Still, I waited.   Your choices led to pain. Things once whole began to fall apart.  What you held onto slipped through your hands.   I was there. I waited.   Then, gently, I opened your eyes to what you had been chasing And your heart to what had been chasing you all along.     And when you finally stopped running There I was,   exactly where I had always been. Waiting.

Journey with God

Did you know there’s a bird famous for holding the world record for the longest nonstop flight from Alaska all the way to Australia? It traveled over 8,000 miles in just 11 days! I stumbled upon an article about the Bar-tailed Godwit while mindlessly scrolling through Facebook, and I’ll admit, I didn’t know anything about this bird before. These fascinating shorebirds escape the harsh winter for warmer climates. My first thought was, why don’t they just stop somewhere closer along the way? According to experts, stopping earlier often means landing in places with less food, more competition and predators, and poor habitats for their long bills. The Godwit’s long nonstop flight reduces these dangers. Even more impressive, these birds begin preparing for their expedition several weeks in advance. They don’t need to eat during their journey because they gorge for 1 to 2 months before departure, building up fat reserves. A few weeks before migration, their digestive organs shrink to reduce ...
