JUDY JOHNSON, WASHINGTON STATE, USA, DEAF

              Introducing a personal piece of me.  My name is Judy (Blake) Johnson.

The Lord has been very patient with me, teaching me several important lessons that made me for what I am...a whole different person than I was when I was a young deaf child. I was raised by dear parents, Pastor John and Alberta Blake.               

I had been trying so hard to be a good girl, often without Christ's help...for its own reasons try to get people to accept me for what I am.  No wonder I do not know what means to be loved by Lord, until I learn several precious ways from my own personal marial experience of being a wife to dear beloved deaf husband, Michael, and mother of two little boys, to depend on and surrender to Lord fully, in return for most blessing and plenty of love and joy in serving Him and have Him live through me and in me.              

And, most important, stand for what is right in the eyes of Lord learning to go alone in faith, not to worry what family or spouse think...in return...more stronger it become is like rope I clunged to has become stronger and bigger when holding onto Jesus.  I am so thankful He chose me to born into the world because He knew I absoluted want to live and see, to meet Him in the heaven.  Would love to live with Him like angels that had truly joy of worshipping Him because He had sacrifice so much for each one and every one of us.  He loves me so much that I do not need to worry about what others think of me...not need their acceptance as much as now.  It give me so much peace when think of Him every day.              

The result is, fruit of growth faith in Christ has so much blessed had showered upon me and my little family.  A surprise of burst forth love, and support from my dear husband, and the joy of desiring to have Christ live through us has become our greatest aim of love and forgiveness....hope one day one of our dear family would understand the peace of forgiveness.              

Would love to have each one and every one of you my dear deaf people that I grew love and admired to come home with me into Heaven and sit under the tree of Life, sharing the joy of being there.  I would plead with my people to take a taste of joy with Christ.             

See ya under the tree of Life by the great river!
