Welcome To Crystal's Blog

It is my prayer that God will use my writings to bless you today. I write straight from the heart. I write as a venue to praise God, and grow as a woman. I am a woman saved by grace! I am married to the most amazing man, and I have been blessed with four beautiful children. God uses my family to teach me and subsequently increases my faith in Him. At times I write through tears of joy, and at times tears of sorrow. Join me as I honestly share my heart and give God praise for His love!

Where is God When I Feel Alone!


So often we mistake temporary loneliness with a lack of God's presence. God has filled my heart to overflowing with His Holy Spirit. How can my heart be empty when God's spirit lives inside my very being. My previous days of emptiness and void disappeared the moment I trusted Christ as my Savior and Lord. Life with Christ active and alive in my heart gives me an overwhelming since of belonging and acceptance. I do not worry about the judgement of others, for I know I am growing to be like Christ. God allows temporary loneliness to draw me closer to His heart. The pain is never desired, but the "Loving" I feel when Christ answers my heart's calling is unsurpassed. For I have learned "It is in the valley's I grow". I use my temporary pain to reach out to my "Savior" who has shown me "true" love . A love that can only be found through a personal relationship with the one and only Christ. The Bible calls this "Agape" love. God has shown me the depth of his love. I have found my strength and it gives me comfort to know He will never let me go. God will always be Holy, Holy, Holy.... I know He is using these valley's to make me Holy... Lord thank you for knowing my heart, and allowing temporary pain for long term Holiness. I know I "Could Never Live A Day Without You".


(I wrote this today, due to some serious missing my family, friends, Life in Bloomington, and familliar sourroundings. I know that I will miss my loved ones, God has provided each one of you as blessings to my heart. Please know that I think of you often. Tears are flowing from my eyes, as I thank God for meeting the desires of my heart through all of you. God has been so good to our family. I "KNOW" he will continue blessing our family with new friends and familiar surroundings. None of you have been forgotten!!!

Hey kiddo!! We love you too and miss you lots. I am praying for you as you are so far from family and friends. Terri was over tonight so we could pray for our upcoming women's conference with Mrs. Adrian Rogers the end of the month. It was good as always to see her. Love you!!! Know that you are being prayed for.
