Hello and Welcome!
My journey began in Miami with a mother and grandmother who made sure I knew about Jesus. Like many of us do, however, I strayed away from faith during my teen years, then got completely knocked off course when tragedy struck. Get the full story on the About page. I blamed God for allowing my family to be shattered and never told anyone because I thought you were not allowed to be mad at him. I never attended church again. That is, until years later at the birth of my first child when God got my full attention. Even though I had ignored him for years, I knew without a doubt I was completely incapable of caring for this precious life without divine help. I surrendered my life to Jesus at my son’s arrival, November 5, 1987. Hungry for God, I pulled my little red Bible off the shelf, the one my grandmother had given me when I was nine. I read and studied it regularly. I have been a sold-out follower of Jesus ever since.
Healing has been a long, hard, but beautiful journey. Anyone and everyone is invited to freely receive his incredible gift of restoration and start this adventure; it entails listening to his voice and building a genuine relationship with Jesus.
So inspired during quiet time and all that Jesus continued to pour into my heart while praying, I wrote a Bible study called The Listening Heart. I have been teaching this method for years now and long to invite anyone I meet to begin the journey of hearing God’s magnificent voice, especially those who are hurting, confused or damaged by all of the nastiness this mean world dishes out. When we answer God’s call to “Come to me with your ears wide open,” he shows us real listening is all about relationship. The amazing fact that the God of the universe wants to spend time with us, encouraging us to move forward despite any and every life circumstance, is nothing short of a miracle. I live to share this message and would love to share it with you here. Free download of The Listening Heart mini version
Enjoy your visit!
Listen and you will find life,
