Who Is God To You???

Hi Ladies,

There is what looks to be an awesome bible study going on over "At the Well". It is a study on getting to know God through a study of His names. If you are at all interested, please head over there and check it out. Don't worry if you can't do it all or are late in joining, join in whenever you can, that is what I am going to do.

Today we are supposed to introduce ourselves and answer the question of "Who God is to us?"

My name is Michelle and I am first and foremost deeply in love with my Jesus! I am a wife to a wonderful man, Brian. I am a Mama to nine precious children here on earth and six babies at the feet of Jesus. We home school our children and generally just try to keep our heads above water, to be entirely honest!

I am an extremely passionate person about the things the Lord brings in my life. I strive to nourish my family the best I can physically, emotionally and spiritually. I am an extremely flawed individual, which by the way, is only becoming more and more apparent as I grow older.

Feel free to 'look' around my blog to find out a little of what makes me tick.

Who Is God To Me?

Oh my, I cannot fathom how to do this question justice. As I type with tears running down my face, I can assure you He is everything to me. He chose ME, saved me and filled me with His Holy Spirit. Me! He chose ME! I wasn't looking for Him. I didn't really know Him. He drew me out of a deep pit and put my feet on a wonderful path.

He has given me a life that is truly beyond what I could have ever dreamed of. When people ask 'what were your dreams as a little girl?' The only thing I can remember ever really wanting was to be loved. I have a God who loves me so much, who gave me a husband who adores and cherishes me, nine children who love me even though I am so, so unworthy of their affection.

Lest you think that I am one of those women who seem to have it all with no troubles, let me assure you that is NOT true, and nothing could be further from the truth! We have had our share of tremendous heartache and struggles like most people. BUT GOD! Through it all, He has been so faithful, so there, so merciful, so gracious, so unbelievably everything we would ever need!

I am blessed with an extremely intimate relationship with Him. I have rich quiet times that I sense His presence everyday. I love His Word. I cannot imagine, I actually shudder at the thought of traversing this life without His Spirit leading me, without my Father ordaining my every step and without my Jesus with Whom I live and move and have my being! He is my LIFE!

I look forward to this bible study as I have always loved studying the names of God. Jehovah Shammah has been a favorite for years. I believe it means "the Lord is There" He has always been "there" through all the ups and downs! Please join in the bible study if you can. May God bless you as seek to know Him more.
