God Had a Plan for Me 

This book is one I hope many Christians will learn from
and enjoy. It has been an inspiration to me writing it.

Throughout many peoples lives they have not had the wonderous joy of learning about
christianity. Many people never will as many are not allowed to read the Bible or learn
anything about our Lord and his wonderful teachings. How he sacrifi ced his only son so
that our sins may be forgiven. We are very privileged to read a Bible and own one.
When my parents and our Pastor gave me my fi rst Bible at age ten, it was then that I

truly started understanding Christianity. I was so happy to have received this gift. I still

have
it. It inspired me to want to learn more. Th is is the greatest gift a child, preteen, or

adult
could ever hope for.
I was inspired to write this book through the gift given to me at ten years of age. My
understanding of the Bible today is truly diff erent from when I was a young girl.
Although my parents are no longer with me nor our pastor, I will be forever grateful to
them. Little did they know just how much inspiration they had given me.

It has been a blessing to me my entire life. I hope to send a message of love through our Lord. These are just a few things God has tried to teach to us.

So many things God has given to us. We need to learn how to give back. How to serve him through our dedication and love for him.

I grew up in a family of eight children and wonderful parents. They never had to ask us if we wanted to go to Church it is something we just did. I am so grateful to our parents for not giving us a choice. We went, we learned , and made friends through fellowship. We were not rich by any means but looking back , I see this was one our riches. My parents were very close. The relationship they had was one we all admired We went through many hard times, but the hard times you learn through. You learn hope , courage, love, and what family means to you. You take care of one another.

I was raised in the country and loved it. I was the oldest daughter and sister so I would always tend to wach over sibblings. I had chores which I am thankful for. Everyone needs to learn resposiblities. It helps mature. I lived in Michigan all my life. The four seasons are wonderful. After school we always went sliding on the home property. We had lot’s of neigbors who were always doing outside activities with us. I feel so privegled to have had so many sibblings, wonderful parents in a big old farm house. I have three children. Two daughters and one son. I love them so much. I am married to a wonderful man as well.My life has been and is blessed through God.
