Father
John 1:1-5
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him was not anything made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it."
The Father lives and is always creating. He hears us humans in all our requests, needs, and desires.
Jesus, The Son
John 1:13
"And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen His glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth."​
John 8:12
"I am the light of the world, again Jesus spoke to them saying, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."
Holy Spirit
John 14:15-17
"If you love me, you will keep my commandments. And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, to be with you forever, even the "Spirit of truth", whom the world cannot receive because it neither sees Him nor knows Him. You know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you."
After you accept Jesus into your life, He will send the Holy Spirit to dwell within you to guide you through life. Pray for guidance, and don't forget to be still so you can hear his small voice.
Who I Am
About BAFriendOfJesus
My name is Terrie, I am a parent, a member of a dysfunctional family, a sloppy neighbor, a caretaker of many, a member of "the village", a builder of life, a chef, a gardener, an ADHD seeker of Jesus, a child of God, and forever a student learning about life. Some lessons I've learned the hard way, and some lessons I've learned the easy way. The truth is that I can not change my past, I can only move forward. Mistakes happen. Acceptance of where I am in life is my truth. The truth is that Jesus will meet you wherever you are on your journey if you seek Him with all your heart, and ask Him. Keep seeking, keep asking, and keep moving forward.
Philippians 3:13-14
"Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus."

What I do
My Testimony
This is my testimony. I wanted a way to share with someone, anyone who may need to read this, to give someone hope and to maybe help someone find Jesus, my very best friend, my deliverer, my teacher of life. There was a time when I didn't have anyone in my life who was a believer in Jesus, but I knew, I just knew that Jesus was real and I wanted Him in my life. The Father gave me faith long ago and sent me on my way. A light that shines inside my soul that just burns. I've been seeking Jesus' face ever since then, trying to hear him, trying to see him and feel his presence. John 1:5 "The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it."

This is the skinny of my journey. I'm in my 50's and He's finally revealed to me that I was undercover, on assignment, on a mission since I was young, only I did not know this. It's the reason He did not answer my cries until the time was right. I just kept my faith and kept moving forward knowing that He would show up on His clock, not mine.
My 50 years have given me a husband, three children, and a lot of family, and friends. These years have also brought a lot of pain, and turbulent times, family addictions, family expectations, preconceptions, manipulation, and bad habits like people pleasing and basically boundary-less living. Some might say I have a lot of "life experience", and I also have many good things that I've learned such as gardening, canning, cooking, and healthy eating, and I've tried hard to be an example of giving to my kids and others.

I found Jesus at a time when I was super low, the lowest. It felt like I had just let too many people get too close and they were sucking me dry, taking everything I build, I create, steeling my fruit, my money and nothing was left for me. I was spinning my wheels. It hurt to try so hard and get no result, to pour into my family only to never see results! So, I prayed and prayed and finally, it came to me one day to call out to Him. Jesus, He came and I knew it was Him, Jesus rescued me from my pit, the pit. My enemy's retaliated! That also hurt. I cried for weeks, and it took months and years to heal. It looked like I was maybe depressed, but I think I just had to cry it all out, to feel everything and forgive what I didn't understand, I'd been through and especially to learn the hard lessons.
​
God worked on me, with me, and told me to dig into the Bible to read the word. So, I did. I bought a bible, an ESV study bible, easy to learn from and has lots of explanations, as I was looking, reading to understand. I know this sounds weird but He got me up early and had me read. I felt his presence and it felt good and right. He was healing me from the inside. I was always an early riser but two and three am, this was new. I still get up and read when He wakes me and other times when I just need to be close to Him.
​
Since then, I've been working on myself with His direction. He made all the difference in my world, in my direction, my goals, my family, my confidence, and especially my identity in Christ. Jesus is just enough. He loves me and I am a child of God. He loves you too, and if you invite Him, He can be a part of your life, Jesus will show you how very special you are as well.
