Meet Kim

God used the broken places and painful circumstances of my life to open myself up to Him, and to experience the fullness of life in Him! It is now my joy and passion to walk beside others as they travel this road to experiencing the peace, rest and freedom of life in Christ!

Though saved at nine years old, I was in my thirties before painful circumstances in my family and marriage brought me to a place of seeking out who God really was for myself. Knowing about Him was no longer enough; I needed to know Him for myself. There is a huge difference in knowing about someone and truly knowing them. I needed to know Him and know that He knew and cared about me!

In looking at and studying His word for myself, I was stopped on John 10:10 “There is a thief (an enemy) that comes to steal, kill, and destroy. But I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it MORE ABUNDANTLY.”

I understood the destruction of the enemy in my life but . . . “Where was this abundant life?” I certainly wasn’t experiencing it in my life, but I knew His word was true, so somehow I had missed it.

At the same time, I had been invited by a friend to a Grace Ministries conference at her church. It was there that God began to reveal to me this abundant life. It came in exchange: my doing life in my own strength to my receiving life in His!

I had been trying to keep my life together for so long, out of my own strength. I was exhausted and simply couldn’t do it anymore, not to mention I hadn’t been doing a very good job of it anyway. Little did I know, that was the best place that I could have been. In that conference, God began to reveal to me the meaning of Galatians 2:20a: “For I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live but Christ in me.”

Therein, was the answer to all my searching for the abundant life!

Life wasn’t about me getting through the storms and circumstances of life on my own or in my own strength. It was, instead, knowing and entrusting that Christ came to do it for me, through me. Abundant life comes in knowing and trusting Him for my needs, not me having to control life and meet them, myself. This was what I had been missing, not me but Him in me! Jesus, my life source, my strength, my need meeter. . . My very
Life!

Have life circumstances and pain brought you to a place of brokenness? Are you searching for freedom from the lies of the enemy and the heaviness of life? Are you searching for abundant life like I was?

If so, I would love to walk with you in the good news of His abundant life!
