HIS Story Through My Life


Just like you, I am an ordinary person with a story. This blog is me telling my story. And because I am the prototype of Jesus, my story begins and ends with His story - a story of struggle, rejection, abandonment and suffering. But this story is also a fairy tale of love, hope, grace and joy. Fact: my relationship with God has been an absolute ADVENTURE to say the least. I have been documenting each extraordinary miracle and every radical revelation He has been revealing to me since day one. My name is Leigh-Ann and I am sharing His story through my life with you!

{ My Bible Miracle }

I never really understood the importance of the Bible or how some people can spend so much time reading it that they can quote it. I mean, I read so many textbooks over and over again and wish to recite sections as some people so freely do the Bible. So one day I decided to see what the fuss is about and dusted my old black Book off that I got on the day of my birth. So you can just imagine how old and outdated it is. As I sat there paging through the thin brown-ish pages I felt so inspired... to go to sleep. So, in my mind I shot a quick thought up to God and said: "I tried... But I'll probably need a new one." I put my Book away and went to sleep.

Three days later I have completely forgotten about even opening the Book, never mind 'praying' about it. I received a phone call from a friend from church saying that she really wants to give me something. That day she showed up at my place saying: "I really felt like a had to give this to you. Specifically this one. I'm not sure why, but here." And there she handed me a brand new Bible (NLT translation). Of coarse I thought this was a bit strange as just a few days before I sort-of prayed for one.

I went up to my room and was very curious to see why He wanted me to have this specific one - 'cause there is no way that this was just a coincidence. Needless to say I started reading and read for 6 hours straight (The only reason I stopped was because it was already 4 in the morning and I had to go to class in 3 hours.) 

Thus, I finally understood why so many people like this Book so much. It's as if it just came alive to me. There I found so many answers to questions about everyday life stuff: money, work, conflict, fitting in, making the most out of life, love, friendships, family, and also relationships. And it all made sense.


It was no longer a boring book about rules on what to do and what not to do - but a book that serves as a guideline and companion in all areas of life.
This is the famous Bible that literally changed my life. I scribble in it and use color-coded posteds that indicates topics such as Love, suffering, hope, etc. 

This is the inside. I honestly enjoy spending time in this book. It helps my life a young person in ways I never thought possible!
