A short time ago, I was sitting in a nearly empty Chapel in Naples, Italy. I read His Word, read Scripture references on a screen (and wrote them down to record on note cards), worked on my Believing God Bible study, and pondered my life journey in the faith.
I was so blessed that God gave me such an amazing Mother. When I say that God gave her to me, I mean REALLY gave her to me. I was adopted at 5 months of age and because of that AMAZING gift, I was raised in faith. REAL faith, not pretend faith. My mother was the walking image of Christ in flesh. She was humble, selfless, filled with His Spirit and the best Mother on Earth. I was raised in the Catholic faith, by a Christian woman. This chapel is used for numerous faith services-one being Catholic, reminding me of her.
I am incredibly blessed and thankful for the gift of faith my mother instilled in me growing up. But overjoyed at the work God has done in me through so many others in the faith after her death in 1980. Today we celebrate Easter – HE IS RISEN. Christ was beaten and died for our sins-yours and mine. But because of His sacrifice, we are all forgiven! We have the gift of the Holy Spirit, living in us as believers! I hope to glorify Him all the days of my life!
