Living Above the Sun Ministries

Our perspective in life effects how we live. This has been the journey God has had me on since He radically got ahold of my life just 2 years ago. I found Jesus in the book of Ecclesiastes, and ever since that time I have been seeking to live my life with my gaze fixed to Heaven. To live for Heaven, and not Earthly things, to inherit the Kingdom, giving up all fleshly desires. Simply coming to my Father, as a child, and allowing Him to fill in all the brokenness in my life, so that the simple I bring Him becomes miracle.

Creation wouldn't astound me as much should I not know it's Creator, but I do, and when I thank My Creator, the One who gave me life, I enjoy the frailties of this Earth. I thank Him, and He gives.

What a journey it has been. My life is richer having lived life along side a few special friends, who have become my family over this last year. I'm thankful to have been loved through ugly times, and encouraged and strengthened by words of correction, and direction. I'm constantly asking God, "What's next?" My ears stay attuned to His voice,
