Do you know how much God loves you? On these pages are words spoken from God's heart while I journaled. These words aren't just for me. They're for everyone. Dive into His heart. Use this journal as a stepping stone to your own exploration of God's love for you. He loves you more than you can imagine, and He wants desperately to share His heart with you.About the Author: My name is Janet Lynn Eriksson. I'm a Christian inspirational writer. More than that, I'm one of God's kids, just like you. I belong to Jesus. At 48 years old, I'm blessed with a brand new life God has given me. I serve full time in Christian ministry. I have a wonderful church family at Dahlonega United Methodist Church, a Spirit-filled place of worship, fellowship, missions, and outreach in north Georgia. I'm a child at heart. I enjoy coloring books, kids' crafts, and making prayer bracelets. I'm crazy about stuffies! I also love to watch the deer and the wild turkeys in my backyard. They bless me by enjoying their day right outside the window of my writing studio. I love spending time on the water - sailing, kayaking, tubing, rafting. I enjoy hiking and distance-walking. Several years ago I had the privilege of completing the 60-mile walk for breast cancer awareness. I'm a very grateful ovarian cancer survivor. Oh, and no one knows why, but I'm crazy about sheep! My heart is for people who want a new life. No matter what you've been through, God's promise is to give you the desires of your heart, to restore your joy that's been lost (or that you've never had), and to bring you healing and peace. He's done it for me. He'll do the same for you. I'll stand with you in faith until you see His promises for yourself. It's a joy to serve in prayer, healing, transition and outreach ministries through Dahlonega United Methodist Church and in our wonderful community of Lumpkin County, Georgia. It's a joy to watch Jesus bring hope and new life to every heart that seeks Him. There is nothing He can't and won't do to bring you the incredible life He has planned just for you - the son or daughter of the Most High King! I'm blessed to live in the beautiful community of Dahlonega, Georgia. I love conversation with friends, and I love front porch swings (although sweet tea should come with a warning label). I also enjoy traveling every few years with our mission team to Guatemala. Most of all, I love celebrating the wonderful changes God brings to your life. He loves you so much!
