When I was in high school, my English teachers always required us to keep up with a daily journal. And I didn't like it at all.

When we asked why we had to submit a journal, they said, "You need a record of things you did in your life and dates and such."

We questioned why.

She said, "You might want to write a book one day about your life, and you will have everything you need about your history in your journal."

I said that will never happen! But look at me now. I am writing a book!

This is basically an autobiography with an emphasis on Jesus in my life. I haven't always followed Jesus as I should have. I never stopped believing, but when I was younger, it wasn't a priority in my life. As I got older and closer to Jesus, I could see where he was with me in my life, and I didn't even realize he was there. He never gave up on me. He was there with me when there was joy in my life, and he was with me when I didn't know which way to turn to next.

I want to share my story of life and give Jesus the glory. He is with us. He wants a relationship with us. He is working in your life when you don't even realize it. Then when you do realize he is there for us, it changes your life for the better. You may still have struggles, but remember, he loves us and wants a relationship with us.

Then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said "Surely the LORD is in this place and I did not know it."

--Genesis 28:16
