ABOUT ME

He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed,

miracles that cannot be counted. Job 5:9

This is my favorite Bible verse. Why?

 Because God did exactly what it says in my life!

 

my name deette

One of my goal’s is to encourage 

others to persevere in suffering. In

my suffering I found transformation, redemption, and salvation from Jesus Christ. He is waiting to do the same for you. When you have Jesus in your life, you will always have hope!

PASSIONS

I love studying the Bible and learning to live in the power of the Holy Spirit. I’m hooked on using strategic prayers. It’s probably easy to figure out my other passion is the ocean. It’s always been my special place to pray, and restore my soul. I stand in awe of God and all that He created when looking out at the ocean.  

 

In 2024, I learned that Psalm 122:6 was a command to pray for Israel and it’s opened up a whole new world for me. My other passion is encouraging others to start preparing for their eternity now. Jesus is coming back one day. Are you ready? I wasn’t but I am now. Jesus pulled me out of the Pit and brought me into His light. I want people to live with their eyes focused on Jesus and not the things of this world. 

 

There is nothing on earth that compares to a relationship with Jesus. If you already know Him, go deeper! Jesus has the power to break any addition, overcome any circumstance, give you an identity, purpose, and make you into a new person. 

HOPELESS TO HOPEFUL

I wanted nothing more than healing from the effects of a rare condition that forced me to be housebound for over 4 years and left me incapable of functioning in the outside world. I’ve also suffered with severe and incapacitating pain and fatigue for over 30 years. This is not fatigue from doing to much. I’m talking about a complete lack of energy in my body leaving me incapacitated, bedridden, and feeling like death warmed over.

 

 

When my medical options were disappearing, I knew the only person who could help me was Jesus. However, I had grown angry at God and fallen into the ways of the world. I lost sight of the fact that God is good and His plan for our life is always good even if it involves suffering. I started to repair my relationship by seeking Him, repenting, studying the Bible, and setting aside time daily to pray and listen. I became obedient and was blessed.

 

When I reached rock bottom I was heartbroken, completely devastated, hopeless, and didn’t want to be alive. Despite the way I had treated God, I was shown love, grace, mercy, kindness, and comfort. Although I had pushed God away He never left me. He was faithful and welcomed me back with open arms and my healing process began.  

FEARS REPLACED WITH FAITH

Learning God’s Word and studying His character allowed me to see Satan’s lies. Every time something bad happened I blamed God but God is pure love. Why don’t we place the blame on Satan who does nothing but lie, steal, and destroy. I now try to live each moment in faith not fear. I carried around so much guilt and shame for years but not anymore. Jesus paid the price and now I am free of those destructive emotions.

 

 

My mind was a mess from years of mentally beating myself up. If it was an Olympic sport I’d have a gold medal but that’s changed too. Speaking God’s Word out loud along with positive affirmations renewed my mind on a daily basis.  Roman’s 12:2 tells us, “Don’t be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God.” That’s exactly what happened to me. I’ve learned there isn’t anything more powerful than speaking God’s Word. He loves to hear us do this because it shows we have faith and trust in Him.

 

The mind has the capability to change and create new pathways. It’s called Neuroplasticity. Using this principle, along with Cognitive Behavior Therapy, and speaking God’s Word out loud, His truth and the daily repetition changed my brain and the way I think. I now take every thought captive in Jesus’ name and hold it up to God’s Word. The first step in making change is awareness so start paying attention to what you are saying to yourself. It does matter. Your thoughts impact your words, and your words impact your actions. Another huge turnaround for me was viewing myself the way God sees me. It changed my perspective of myself and I live with m identity firmly based on the fact that I am a Child of God and worthy of love. All these things along with faith created an opportunity for healing, miracles, and transformation.

STATED MY CASE TO GOD

About a year after my born-again experience God led me to Job 5:8-9 (NIV). It states, “If I were you, I would appeal to God; I would lay my cause before him. He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be counted.” When I finished reading it, I picked up my Bible and placed it on the floor and stood on it. I told God I was standing on His Word (literally & figuratively) and I proceeded to state my case for healing. When I had finished reciting all the Bible verses I had memorized, given praise, repented, and asked for healing I realized that over the course of the year my relationship with Jesus had become more important to me than the healing. With tears flowing down my face, I surrendered my will to His and left the choice of being healed up to Him.

BLESSED WITH MIRACLES

God showed me by surrendering my suffering to Him and allowing Him to use it for His Son’s glory it makes ALL the difference. My suffering taught me to depend on God in a way I never had before and it led to my salvation. God also made the promises in Job 5:9 come alive and blessed me with wonders and miracles that cannot be counted!

JESUS IS THE WAY MAKER

In the last 34 years I’ve only found 4 doctors who had ever heard of my condition. There is very little information about it on the Internet. I kept searching for answers in the wrong places. All I needed to do was reach out to Jesus who is the Way Maker, Miracle Worker, Promise Keeper, and the Light in the Darkness. His love and power changed everything!

 

My transformation was physical, mental, and spiritual. The important ones are the internal changes.  God softened my hardened heart, changed my anger into love, and turned my hopelessness into hope. Even though I was housebound I had never felt such happiness, and hope for the future.  He turned my worst nightmare into my greatest blessing! That’s my God. He is Mighty, Holy, Truth and “with God all things are possible.” Matthew 19:26. 

 

Jesus is the same God as in Biblical times. He came to heal the lame, sick, blind, and the lost. He is still performing miracles today – I’m living proof.

START TALKING TO JESUS

What are you waiting for? Start talking to Jesus and let Him transform you into a new creation! Do it now! Don’t wait another second. Faith as small as a mustard seed can move a mountain. Use that faith, trust in the Lord with all your heart, surrender to His will, and watch those mountains disappear. All of God’s decisions are absolutely perfect, good, and right so following His will means you are making the absolute best decision. It will never be wrong because God doesn’t make mistakes. Follow God’s Word and not the ways of the world which are temporary and worthless. Keep your eyes focused on Jesus and the fact that you are His masterpiece!
