Ruth Bell Graham

I love to read about Ruth Bell Graham (Billy Graham's wife) because it always challenges me to know God more! Matty got me her book, "It's My Turn" a while back and I have read it three times and I am about to start it again. This book has really short stories about her life in China, Wheaton College, her as a wife and mother and very practical and challenging stories that encourage me to be better--a better mother, wife, to know God intimately, etc.

I have learned lots from this woman of God, but what I love the most is how close she is with God...how much she desires Him and how she lives it out everyday in her life. She is a wonderful testimony to her children and everyone around her because she is in constant communion with our heavenly Father. When we are in constant communion with Him we become like Him and that makes all the difference.

I want to be like Ruth Bell Graham! I want to leave a legacy for my children and grandchildren and husband...and everyone of one who loved God with all her heart, mind, soul and strength. And this, my friends, is all I desire.
