I've been studying the book of Revelation, chapters 1-3 and looking for the different ways Jesus is described. I found 30 different descriptions of Him:

1. Jesus, You are the One who is. (Rev 1:4,8)

When I was 19 years old I was at a garage sale and found a wooden plaque with a sail boat carved on it with Jeremiah 29:13 and the first part of verse 14 written on it which said, "And ye shall seek Me and find Me when ye shall search for Me with all your heart..."

I can still remember how I felt reading this verse for the first time. The concept of finding God intrigued me. I just didn’t understand why He would require so much of me or anyone else for that matter, simply to find Him.

So I bought the plaque and placed it in a prominent place every where I lived, in my college dorm room, my first apartment, and each successive apartment, my first home.

Finally, 11 years later, when I was 30, I embarked on a whole-hearted journey to find out what this verse meant - the seeking and the searching for a God who was willing to be found. Little did I know how this verse would dramatically impact and forever change my life.

It is now 37 years later and I'm still seeking and searching for Him with my whole heart. I have to tell you, I have loved and hold dear everything I have found!

This blog is about the depth and the width and the length and the height of my journey into Christ and how I’ve been found by Him. I believe the journey I've undertaken has been a sacred trust granted to me by Him.

The journey continues! I hope you’ll come along.
