      To my best friend, my husband.

      You have been with me from the very beginning when God birthed this dream in my heart. You have loved and supported me through the entire journey. Your love for me and belief in me have carried me through.

      Thank you for being there for me. Your support and guidance have given me the ability to see this God-sized dream to fulfillment.

      My heart will be forever thankful.

      All my love,

      Lynne

      Acknowledgments

      • To my heavenly Father, who gave me a heart to know Him—Without Him, there would not be a book project. He alone birthed the dream, and He alone gave me the strength and the words to see it through. I cannot thank Him enough for the way He guided me through this process. Because of His great love for me, I want to live a life that is pleasing to Him.

      • To my immediate family—my husband, Paul, and my children, David and Katie. I want you to know how very much I love you all. David and Katie, you are my pride and joy. I continue to believe in you both and trust God for the great plans He has for you.

      • To my mom, dad, and brothers, Frank and Gerard—my life wouldn’t be the same without you. Having all of you to share this dream with me makes it that much more meaningful and exciting. Mom, thank you for sharing in this journey with me. Your support and encouragement has been a precious gift.

      • To my friend Lori—thank you for praying with me and leading me into a relationship with Jesus many years ago. Your efforts of discipleship were not wasted on me, as your labor of love continues to be one of the foundations of my walk with God.

      • To my friend Brenda—how do I thank you for a lifetime of friendship? We are kindred spirits, and our friendship has deep roots that have withstood time and distance. Thank you for your belief in me and for your encouragement that gently but firmly guided me to put pen to paper. Your gift of friendship has been an invaluable treasure in my life.

      • To all my family and friends who have traveled this journey with me—you have shared in my writings and encouraged me along the way. Each one of you is a precious gift to my life.

      Introduction

      It was a moment I’ll never forget. I remember where I was, where I was sitting, and the moment I knew I wanted what she had. I was sitting in a Bible study at my church; we were studying a series from Beth Moore titled Believing God,1 and we were watching a video of her speaking on the segment Knowing God. What caught my full attention and touched the deepest area of my heart was when she said, I may not know a lot of things, but one thing I know for sure is who my God is. As I write this now, years later, I feel the same impact on my heart as I felt back then for the first time. It was at that moment I knew I wanted for my life what she had. I wanted that same confidence to be sure about who my God was, and I didn’t have it. What that study showed me was I knew about God, but I didn’t really know Him.

      What you are about to read is my story, my journey, in developing a heart to know God as I know Him now. It shows how His plan and purpose for our lives will be revealed to us as we commit to know and seek Him. For me, I feel my journey is just beginning and that I am truly entering into all God has planned for me. From my current vantage point in life, I am able to see that all the detours, stumbling blocks, deserts, and mountaintops I have encountered along the way. They have made me who I am today and truly brought me full circle.

      As a teenager in 1980, I wrote a poem that describes a heart that was searching. Searching for healing, hope, and inner peace.

      If I could have one wish

      To use anyway I’d like,

      I’d wish for inner peace within.

      To end all my pains,

      To end all my struggles,
