Annette Coffey

“This is a woman that I admire. She has done so much in her life, even flying small airplanes and owning her own business. She is a real go-getter, and when the Lord placed the idea for this book in her heart, it really excited her. He just kept exciting her with more and more truths as time went along. She was so inspired that it felt like God was writing it, and she was just along for the ride. It blessed her as much as her readers. It is definitely a book you should read at least once, and since it is quick to read, you might read it again. I gave a copy of her first book to a friend of mine whose husband had a stroke like hers, and it was so helpful to her because she could see his struggles with new eyes. It helped them as a couple so much. She just loves people and wants to help them find the joy and peace she has with the Lord. As a side note, she lost the copy of the book when she got a new tablet and searched everywhere for it with no luck. All she could do was pray that if God wanted the book to be read, it would get back to her. One morning she felt an urge to look again. She heard if you don’t look, you’ll never know. There it was, right where it should have been—a miracle waiting to be read.” —Lynn Ramos

Prologue

I live a very quiet life. It is hard for me too speak loud enough for most people to hear me. So I seldom talk. Not because I don’t want to. The Lord gave me back my voice but did not use it out of habit and when you don’t use it you loose it. I have so much to say and I would love friends but they just look me with a blank stare because they don’t hear me right. So I am very introverted. God has given me writing to let people into my world. I have been so inspired by God, church, those I am around, my friends, and especially my friend Jesus. I want to give back to those who mean so much to me, what I can. Mine is a quiet but exciting life. This is a short easy read book, I hope packed with helpful information. I love the Lord for all He has done for me and in me each day. He is the reason I look forward to what He has for me every day and this book is all for Him.

Introduction

John 14:15-17

If you love me, keep my commands. And I will ask the Father and He will send you an advocate who will be with you forever-The Spirit of truth.

Wisdom – Ephesians 1:17

I keep asking that our God the father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, might give you the spirt of wisdom and understanding that you might know Him better.

The first thing to grasp is the enormity of love our Father has for us.

Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; as a prophet to the nations. Jer 1:5

Get to know Him personally who loves me now more closely than I could ever know. My Father the King of kings could not love me more. I am His princess and He wants a perfect life for me.

Full and abundant. Just look at this wonderful world He has created for me. He has given me everything I need to succeed.

I can do all things thru Christ who strengthens me. Phil 4:13

However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only task is to finish the race The Lord Jesus has given me, the task of telling the good news and His grace Acts 20:23

My task is to know my Father better and love Him more so that I may do His will. At some point I will know Him so well and His ways that are not ours but better. I will love Him so much that I will become the bride
