Who I Am

cshowers

cshowers

I am a woman who is deeply, passionately in love the Jesus Christ, the King of kings and Lord of lords, for He loved me when no one else did and He rescued me from complete despair and hopelessness. I've been through a lot in my life, and though much of it was painful, I wouldn't change a thing. For God used those difficult circumstances to mold me into the woman I am now, and He gave me a heart and a mind filled with stories and images. Please join me, as I share them with you!

The Heavy Weight…

When Jacob’s ten eldest sons left Canaan for Egypt, guilt weighed heavily on each of them.  Foremost in their hearts and minds was the image of their father, so frail and old now, with fear for his youngest son, Benjamin etched in his face, as he refused to let him travel with them.  Their father […]
