Today seems to be the first day of the rest of my life, so I am beginning a new journey in a new blog.
I will be relocating very soon...to the Boston area. I can't wait to have a fresh slate, to start over. I know that my time in Boston will not be that long, and I also know that God is going to do something amazing while I am there.
Tonight I had the overwhelming desire to preach. I miss everything about it...the preparation, the delivery, knowing that God is using me to change people's lives for the better. It is not that I want to be known, but that I want God's name to be made famous throughout the land. I want people to know who God is, what He is about, what it means to truly be a follower of Christ. I can't wait to be free to use the gift that God has given me. I can't wait to be in an environment in which my gifts are not only used but cultivated. In short, I can't wait until I am free to be me. I am tired of living under constraints...the constraint of what other people believe I am, of what other people are told I am, of who other people are told I am. I can't wait until it is time to be me.
This is a chronicle of the life of a zany woman who has found a part of what God has called her to do. I invite you to grab a cup of coffee, sit back and enjoy the read. And...feel free to let me know that you've stopped by. I love making new friends!
i was MADE for this
- Deneen
- Servant. Leader. Friend. Daughter. I am learning who I am through the eyes of the One who created me in all of my uniqueness to be His. A journey has begun, and I am blessed to have the opportunity to do life with an amazing group of friends, a family who loves me and a church that is in the business of showing the love of Christ to a hope-starved generation.

1 Timothy 4:11-14
Get the word out. Teach all these things. And don't let anyone put you down because you're young. Teach believers with your life: by word, by demeanor, by love, by faith, by integrity. Stay at your post reading Scripture, giving counsel, teaching. And that special gift of ministry you were given when the leaders of the church laid hands on you and prayed—keep that dusted off and in use.
1 Timothy 4:15-16
Cultivate these things. Immerse yourself in them. The people will all see you mature right before their eyes! Keep a firm grasp on both your character and your teaching. Don't be diverted. Just keep at it. Both you and those who hear you will experience salvation.
Psalm 111:10
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom;
all who follow his precepts have good understanding.
To him belongs eternal praise.
