Our Personal, Intimate God

Our Personal, Intimate God – By Lindy Thomas Our mighty God loves each one of us and wants to have a relationship with us. He is not only big, but he is a personal, intimate God as well. I would like to tell you about a very difficult time in my life, and what I learned about God through it.

By Lindy Thomas Part 1. Questions Ever have questions for God? Wonder if it’s OK to ask them? Even those who were Jesus’ closest friends, who had traveled with him for years, had questions.

This is the story of three women from First United Methodist Church of Carrollton in the North Texas Conference of the UMC who made a trip to Meru, Kenya to teach in a series of Women’s Conferences. It is not only their story, but they each share the Biblical teaching that the Lord laid on their hearts. And intertwined in each of their teaching, they share God’s faithfulness in meeting their own challenges. But the story actually begins about fifteen years earlier, when Ann Morell, wife of a former pastor at First United Methodist Church of Carrollton, Texas, was called […]
