About

I am a Christian who has believed in God as far back as I can remember. I honestly can’t recall life before Jesus Christ. When I was young, my heart’s desire was to obey God in all things. I had such great faith in those days…a simple faith. The faith of a child.

I was only 16 years old when I heard God’s call to serve Him. I was amazed! God had called me to ministry, a shy little teenage girl! He hadn’t revealed what that meant exactly. But He had asked me to serve Him for the rest of my life and in faith I said yes. He filled me with joy that day.

After high school and our wedding, my husband and I left for school to prepare for ministry. Five short years later, we left that ministry.

I loved serving God in full time ministry. It was hard work and I had a difficult time balancing family and ministry. But, my first love was Jesus and to serve Him was a natural expression of that love. I struggled with the decision to leave and I floundered after we left. I still believed in God, that never changed. However, church just became an activity we did mainly for the sake of the kids. Once I left the ministry, I completely left ministry behind me. I was still called and I knew it. But I chose disobedience and didn’t serve in the capacity that God had called and gifted me. I did virtually nothing for Him in the years that followed. There were plenty of excuses, but it pretty much came down to fear. Sin. The longer I was in disobedience, the colder my heart became.

I started this blog because I desperately needed to share my journey with an audience, to tell others about God’s kindness in my life! It has been more than two decades since we left the ministry. In that time, God faithfully melted my cold heart, renewing my faith and desire to serve Him. Over the years He has taught me so many good things! But the journey was not always easy. My prayer is that as I share my story you will find that your own walk with Christ will be strengthened and renewed. I intend to honestly share my successes and failures with you. I have loved every mountaintop experience. But, if I’m being completely honest, I have to admit the greatest lessons have been learned through pain or failure.

As I reflect on the journey, I find myself praying that Lord will fully revive my childlike faith. I’m really tired of having the faith of an adult! I hope you’ll join me On this journey and allow the Holy Spirit to rekindle your childlike faith too.

God bless you, Alice
