    Obsessed With God: Exploring Intimacy With God

    About this ebook

    I decided to write this book because of something my granddaughter said about me. She told her mother that "grandma is obsessed with God." When I found out her opinion of me, I said, "Praise God! She gets me!" I must admit, though, that I am obsessed with God. Her statement really opened my eyes to understand how I feel about God. This has been such a revelation to me about myself.
    Obsessed means to constantly think about something, to dwell on that thing, and to be preoccupied with it. Obsessed kind of has a negative tone to it, so I guess I would prefer maybe saying that "I'm really into the Lord!"
    Why am I obsessed? Because God loves me for who I am. Warts and all. He healed me from major clinical depression and suicidal ideations. He also, over the years since I became a committed Christian, has performed many miracles in my life and has answered many of my prayers, which have continued to feed into my obsession with God.
    My obsession with God is that I eat, sleep, talk about and breathe Jesus 24 hours a day, seven days a week. He's all that I want to think about and talk about!

      DEDICATION

      This book is dedicated to the most Holy and Magnificent God, my Heavenly Father Yahweh, The Great I AM.  He is the one who has shown me so much love.  His careful guidance and watchfulness over my life means more to me than I can say. I am so grateful that He chose me to be His adopted child.  I dedicate my life to Him, and I am His humble servant for the rest of my life.  I love you so, my Father God!

      I would also like to dedicate this book to my husband Rev. James A. Nemley who compelled me for years to write this book. He has always been my cheer leader in everything that I do for the Lord. He has been with me through every step of this process for publishing this book.  He is team Tanya for sure. He is also my prayer partner and spiritual life partner.  I love you!

      My final dedication is to my Granddaughter, Olivia Grayce Merrick whose words Grandma is obsessed with God, was such an inspiration to me. My prayer is that she will want to love God as a young child just like I did. Olivia I love you!

      Tanya’s Granddaughter and inspiration for this book!

      My grandmother is obsessed with the Lord. I know that because she prays for everyone, and she cares about the Lord. She takes religion seriously! She knows the Lord loves her. She teaches me about the Lord and how I can have a strong relationship with him. That is one of the reasons why I love my grandmother. Finally, she knows that the Lord will take care of her. Olivia Merrick 11 years old.

      When reading my wife’s book, Obsessed With God you can’t help but enter into His throne room! Have you ever wondered how other people seem to radiate when seeking God in prayer? Have you ever wondered how God responds to them? Do you desire to draw closer to the Lord? Then you MUST read, Obsessed With God!

      Every chapter is written from God’s throne room. Page by page you begin to understand how God should be loved and reverenced.   Tanya takes you into her prayer closet and doesn’t let you out until you fully understand what it is to be, Obsessed With God!

      I have been with my wife for over 40 years and have seen her hunger and desire to get closer to God.  There were times when I would come home from work to find her in tears, as I walked in during her private times of prayer.  She would share with me the details of her time with God and I would share with her some scripture verses about what she had just experienced.

      Over the years I have seen her through all her ups and downs, and I’ve seen the way God has blessed her through it all. Her victories from trials have drawn her so close to God. I am intimately aware of her unique relationship with the Lord. To say that she is, Obsessed with Him is an understatement!

      When you look up the definition of obsessed you find a lot of negative information. Obsessed means to be; preoccupied or to fill the mind of (someone) continually. This is exactly what the Lord wants us to be! Obsessed!

      When we wholeheartedly seek after God, we too can become obsessed. Read Tanya’s book and learn how you too can become, Obsessed With God!

      Her heartfelt cry throughout the pages of this book, is that all would know how loved they are by God. Mission Accomplished!  This book can apply to both the seeker and the mature believer. It creates a hunger for what is an endless supply of HIS love. Obsessed with God, is the little book with a life changing message!

      Judge John Andrew Kay

      Intimacy is defined as close familiarity or friendship; closeness.  My precious friend, Tanya Nemley, now takes us on a journey of intimacy which was forged in the pain of her personal uncertainty and insecurity.  Only this time the destination of our intimacy will be with the Creator of the Universe and the Creator of you and me as Tanya shows us that our tears are the proof of His presence. 

      Tanya lovingly takes us where Isaiah was in 26:9, My soul yearns for You in the night, in the morning my spirit yearns for You.  She challenges
