In about 2003 I left the church system as we know it, finding it institutional\u00a0 \u2013 for the most part\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.the expectations and demands that crept in after a time of renewal that was there in the early 70\u2019s where the\u00a0 Presence of God\u00a0 was the\u00a0 main focus\u00a0 and\u00a0 the\u00a0 people communicated\u00a0 much more freely, socializing\u00a0 after-wards\u00a0 and\u00a0 sharing\u00a0 testimonies.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div align=\"center\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\" align=\"center\">.<\/div>\n<div align=\"center\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\" align=\"center\"><span class=\"text-class-3\">This may agree with some of you and some not. In 2003 I had desired to return to the simplicity\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"text-class-3\">and vitality I had in my early days with Jesus. And when a Prophetic Pastor said you should be out ministering anyway \u2013 I was resting at that time \u2013 and spoke to me rashly for asking him not to rush the \u2018breaking of bread\u2019\u2026.I left the Church Scene as most know it and spent quality time with The Lord and informal fellowship with a few friends who are close to Jesus. It was at that time\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"text-class-3\">I revived my love for Nature,\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"text-class-3\">followed by an interest in Craft Cards \u00a0and\u00a0 Greeting\u00a0 Cards. So I rested for quite sometime and found a good balance of Natural with Spiritual. At a later date, the Spirit of God led\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"text-class-3\">me in a different direction I had not been before in touching hearts and lives.<\/span><\/div>\n<div align=\"center\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\" align=\"center\">.<\/div>\n<div align=\"center\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\" align=\"center\"><span class=\"text-class-3\">I am now the Owner of the Web-Site\u00a0 www.inspirationsforyou.net and others.

Because the frustration of that did not quench the desire, I said \u201cMaybe this desire is from You Lord\u2026..if it is\u2026.I place it in Your Hands. You will know a Time and a way to bring it to fruition.\u201d Then 6 years ago in 2010\u00a0 I made my first Web-Site and things went very smoothly\u2026.. everything came\u00a0 to me\u00a0 naturally. \u00a0That was the first of several I made. <a class=\"userlink\" href=\"http:\/\/www.inspirationsforyou.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Inspirations for You<\/a>\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"text-class-6\">has been my favorite and the most successful for sometime (it commenced early\u00a0 in 2012).\u00a0 There\u2019s Pages with Pleasant Poems and Beautiful Pictures; Pages with Quotes and Sayings; Reflective Music and Inspirational Writings.
