I consider myself to be quite lucky. I was blessed to grow up in a Christian home with parents who loved the Lord and desired to seek, gain, and please Him. As a child, the Word was put into me and I grew to love the Lord. Singing with joy to Him was my practice and delight. My choosing the Lord and pursuing the Lord progressed because I was surrounded by others whose desire was to run after the Lord and to satisfy His heart’s desire.

Through sufferings and failures, I have found that to have a pure heart for the Lord is not easy. In my old man, I am a sinner who will always fail. But, thank the Lord I have a spirit! And in my spirit I can come to the Lord to be washed by His blood and filled with His life, peace, and everything. Here, I have found true satisfaction and joy.
