Falling for Jesus Writing Contest
Contest closed! Thank you all so much for your entries. We look forward to reading through them and informing you all of the winner. As of now #44 is the last participant. We'll post the winner soon!
Do you remember the first time you truly felt your heart flutter for our savior? Do you remember how excited you became and how amazed you were when you began to see how his fingerprints encompassed every moment of your life? Was there a particular time during your walk with Him that you felt His love and presence more than you ever had before?
We would love to hear about it.

Yikes! 400-700 words...that was tough. My first "rough" draft was 973 words and I didn't even have my scripture references yet. Yikes!! Thanks for giving me this challenge. I had to go back and let the Holy Spirit guide me and teach me how to say more with less...as it turned out...He had more He wanted to say than He wanted me to say.
Thanks this was fun!!

When I saw the theme of this contest, I though how could I not enter?
You see, I literally did fall in love with Jesus long before I met my hubby. That experience literally has been my oasis in wilderness periods since then. I also do not have to demand of my hubby what only Christ was meant to give: perfection.
Thanks for this opportunity to force me to look back and marvel.
