Dear Readers,
Hello to everyone, my brothers and sisters. I am a wife, a mother and a legal secretary, and very much hope that you will enjoy reading my articles, which I also hope will help you get on happily with your life. I have two lovely sons (who drive me a bit crazy sometimes!) and a lovely husband (who also sometimes act as my third child!).
I was inspired to write at the age of 17, this is when I first had that amazing encounter with God. I hope that your walk with God will transform your life, as it has transformed mine and still continues to. I want to help others to enjoy their life, as they are meant to!
I recall being very shy and timid, as a child. As I grew older, this started to affect me and lack of confidence was an obstacle in my life. It prevented me from doing many things. I was afraid of making mistakes, of saying something wrong, I was afraid of what people would say. I think my life pretty much resolved around people perception of me, and accepting criticism was very difficult for me. I kept this to myself and did not share how I felt with anybody else. I had a good upbringing and a good family. However, I used to sometimes feel lonely and bored. There were times when I felt that my life lacked purpose.
I believed in God, but only knew Him on the surface. I went to church with my family, did my first Holy Communion and my Confirmation. All this made me feel that there was something more to life but didn't seek to understand more. However, I recall that hot afternoon, 22 years ago when I let God into my life. This was the beginning of my life-long walk with God and life transforming experience. Over the years I have been through many hardships in my life, but God helped me to overcome these, one at a time; and every time, I came out of the experience stronger and happier!

Regardless of who we are, what we look like, what we do or what we have, we were chosen by God since before the creation, me and you are the apple of his eyes, we are his sons and daughters. His love to us is none alike, an unblemished and pure love, but we can only recognise who we are in the eyes of God if we accept him as our loving father, creator, saviour and teacher. We recognise who we are in his eyes, through his words, by building a relationship with him, living with him and living in his love.
THIS IS WHO WE ARE IN THE EYES OF GOD:
