Life Preserver
What a Awesome God!
Can you contemplate the Creator of the universe? He who controls the seas, the stars, the miracle of conception and birth, the seasons, the transformation of insignificant worms into beautiful butterflies…the setting and rising of the sun…gravity, atoms and microbes…infinity? The fact that the Almighty would allow Himself to relinquish control to a finite being such as man boggles my mind. Infinite Power surrendering to infinite impotence. Can you imagine that kind of acquiescence? The great I AM allowing us free will. Allowing us to call the shots—to make the choices—to run the show. If that isn’t beyond amazing, then I don’t know what is. The gift of free will is such a display of unfathomable love, I can barely wrap my mind around it. And then, to top it off, He willingly becomes as insignificant as a piece of bread to totally infuse us within Himself. He doesn’t even wait for us to go to Him but allows His very Self to go into us—becoming simple nourishment so that we are inexpressibly His. Because, by becoming our food, He transforms us into His Being. Just like when the ocean fills a hole on the beach. The ocean doesn’t become the hole, the hole becomes the ocean. What an awesome God!
About the Author
Born and raised in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, Theresa spent the first nine years of her life on an island in Puget Sound. With no neighborhood children nearby, she depended on imaginary people to keep her company—thus her love of books.
Theresa attended the University of Washington, received a B.A. in English, and spent the next twenty-plus years teaching middle school language arts and social studies before retiring "early." Now she is happy to indulge her wild imagination and passionate love of history and share these foibles with others, including her husband, her humongous family, a rescue pup named Molly, and a myriad of friends. Theresa is the author of over twenty cozy mysteries, warm romances, and YA fiction.
Theresa has made her home in Washington, Missouri, Georgia, and North Carolina but currently resides in South Carolina. An avid traveler, she likes poking her nose into strange and mysterious places.
