How is our communication with God? Perhaps we talk to God but would be surprised if He responded. He could seem closer to us than our closest friendor so far off that we wonder if Hes listening at all. Maybe we wonder whether we should bother God with the little day-to-day stuff, or maybe our situation seems too hopeless even for Him. The God I Know offered an intimate look at the prayer life of an ordinary wife and mother who received extraordinary responses from God. This workbook, incorporated with the original manuscript, seeks to bridge the gap between what was written and what people were experiencing in their own lives. It provides space to record your prayers and His answers, to journal your true thoughts and to record His. Most of all, it asks you to get real and get honest with God, presenting not a formula but a paradigm shift in the way you think about your relationship with Him. This guide and workbook invites you to go on a prayer journey with God through inspiring testimonies, faith-building scriptures, and honest dialogue with your heavenly Father.

CHAPTER 1
SAVED BECAUSE OF A LITTLE BOY
El Cajon, California 1965
I was staying with my dad during the summer of 1965. He was attending a Southern Baptist Church, which was sponsoring a summer camp, so he paid my way to go.
Every day they had crafts and various activities as well as a chapel service in the afternoon and evening. Every day during chapel, they gave the invitation to "get saved."
I watched. This is what I always did. For as far back as I could remember I had always been a spectator of life. I watched the kids in my school play games, I watched others play sports. I watched life go on around me but I rarely participated, especially in group activities. I never felt part of the people around me — it was "me" and "them" — not "us". So it never occurred to me to go forward with "them", even though I was in agreement that "they" should.
But as I was standing in the pew singing, the young boy next to me, who I had never spoken too, asked me a question. "Have you ever gone forward and given your life to Christ?"
Startled, I replied, "No." It seemed a novel thought to me.
"Don't you think you should?"
I pondered that for a moment as I did everything and came to a conclusion. "Yes!" So I moved past him and went forward. A lady counselor had me repeat after her the sinner's prayer: "Lord I believe you are the Son of God and that you died for my sins. I ask you to forgive me for my sins and save me." Then she quoted the verse, "if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved" (Romans 10:9). Then she told me I needed to tell someone I had gotten saved.
When I went back to the bunkhouse I shared with about eight other girls and got out my notebook and wrote a note to my mom in Montana and my dad in California and told them I had just gotten "saved" at camp. Then I mailed them off. There, I thought, I got that taken care of.
As strange as it sounds now, I thought that was all there was to the Christian life. I did not know it was a growing relationship with the one who had saved me. I did not know I should do any other thing. No one told me about making Jesus Lord of my life and asking him about His plans and purposes for me. No one told me I should read the Bible so it could teach and guide me through life. No one told me if I would pray God would hear and answer my prayers. So I went on as I was before for several years.
However God knew I was sincere in my decision. He also knew what I didn't know, and He was okay with that. He accepted my simple confession of faith and saw me take that step towards Him. Regardless of what I felt or didn't feel or what I did or didn't do — God wrote my name in His book of life that day.
Then He set about to teach me, and to transform me. It has been a lifelong journey and it won't ever end. He has always known me and everything about me, but now I am getting to know Him and everything about Him. As I do, my life becomes sweeter and better. I have put away my fears and worries as I learn by experience how faithful and dependable God is. Everything in this confusing world starts to make sense as you read His love letter to us and get to know His character, His power, and His great love for "US."
Yes, I emphasize "us" because God has also shown me that He has made us all to think and act and do things differently, not to separate and isolate us, but because He has different purposes and plans for each of us. He did not use a cookie cutter in designing us. But like a rare piece of art, He formed each one of us in a unique manner pleasing to him. We are all born His perfect creation. He desires us to live in unity and to respect and honor one another. It is only sin that mars us. Still, He is able to restore us no matter how damaged our lives have become.
What is your salvation story?

Notice that God had a plan for Paul's life that he was unaware of. Do you think God has a plan for you? Do you know what is it?
