You won't remain here forever. Your heart reaches for your inheritance, and your eyes shall see the glory of the Lord.Predestined woman, rest and eat. Heaven goes before you and will fight your battles for you.You shall sit under your own olive trees on the porch of your victory--an inheritance predestined for you and your generations before time began.

While looking up to heaven and praying one day, I heard in a small soft voice from my Lord, "You are going to help women." I knew I was a sinner and that Jesus came to save sinners. I began a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. I felt a life-giving hope that led me to worship the God of the Bible. After seminary training, I heard that same quiet voice, lay on my heart the words from Jeremiah 29:11, "I know the plans I have for you, . . . plans for wholeness and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope." (ESV) About 25 years later, I can testify with Paul from Philippians 3:8-9, "I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I suffered the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish so that I may gain Christ and may be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own derived from the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith." (ESV) I believe, I trust and obey as a woman of God, who is the only author of permanent change.
