About Me

  • About Me: Hebrew 6:19-20 says: "19 This confidence is like a strong and trustworthy anchor for our souls. It leads us through the curtain of heaven into God's inner sanctuary. 20 Jesus has already gone in there for us. He has become our eternal High Priest in the line of Melchizedek." With Jesus as my Lord and Savior, He led me through the curtain of heaven and in God's INNER SANCTUARY! ****************I love reading the Word of God. My life has continued to be a growing walk with the Lord. I am always in awe with God's goodness and so thankful that He opened and renewed my mind. There are so many things I am learning from Him everyday. I could not see myself as the person I was before anymore. With guidance, I know that the future is much brighter as I stay under His protection, provision, favors and blessings. Jesus made my life something that I never expected it to be. I am still so amazed even after seven years since that fateful day when Jesus came to my life.

More About Me

  • Interests: **The Holy Bible inspired by the Word of God. Try reading IT as a hobby and you would see your life transform to a peaceful stage. One of my favorite verses in the Bible is: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment.

    It was the time when everything happened as God directed it. Everything fell into place because God masterminded the whole thing--scene after scene. From the day that I heard Him say that we need to move out from California. That was in 2003. I could not imagine how and where at that time. But th

    @JusticeMom - wow, ur all over the place, which is good, because it's a way of knowing about people. From P.I I lived in Cali for years, so I never was exposed with so many things about the US. I learned a lot since we moved to TX.
