The Light
I was three years old when I noticed something no one else seemed to see.
My grandaddy and I were buddies.
Two weeks earlier, he had given his life to Jesus Christ.
One afternoon I looked into his eyes and saw a brilliant light.
Grandaddy...
how did you turn
that light on in
your eyes?
He smiled and answered,
“I got saved...
but I didn’t know
anything changed.”
He didn’t know anything had changed.
But I did.
I could see it.
Truth isn’t merely something we discover.
Truth is a Person.
The Invitation
Years passed.
Life moved on.
School. The Navy. Engineering. Technology.
None of it was the destination.
Do you want to go
on an adventure
with Me?
I didn’t know where the adventure would lead.
I only knew the One who was asking.
He was inviting me into a lifetime of becoming.
Command the Dawn
“Dianne, have you learned how to command the dawn of your day?”
I began studying Job 38:12–13.
I began praying it.
I began teaching others to come into covenant agreement with God.
Have you commanded
the morning since
your days began?
At first, I thought the dawn was simply the beginning of a natural day.
Then the Lord opened my understanding.
The Day was not merely morning.
It was the Day Jesus resurrected us into new life.
We are not waiting for resurrection life.
We are learning to believe what Jesus has already done.
Living the Inheritance
He was teaching me how to live in covenant.
One revelation at a time.
One act of obedience at a time.
One day at a time.
Not my rights.
His.
Not my plans.
His.
Not my kingdom.
His Kingdom.
Over the years, those lessons became journals.
Those journals became frameworks.
Those frameworks became the Kingdom Economics Series.
Then God revealed something even bigger.
Children shouldn't have to spend sixty-seven years discovering what God had been teaching me.
They can grow up experiencing it.
The Invitation Is Still Open
I didn't know where that yes would lead. I never imagined it would become a lifetime of learning, questioning, surrendering, discovering, writing, and growing.
I simply trusted the One who was asking.
Looking back over sixty-seven years, I can see that God was never asking me to build books, ministries, businesses, or a Family Village.
He was teaching me how to live in covenant, become a faithful steward, discover my true identity in Christ, and receive an inheritance that cannot be bought, earned, or taken away.
The Kingdom Economics Series, the Family Village, and Kingdom Covenant Kids are not the destination. They are invitations.
Perhaps, as you've read these pages, you've sensed that God has been asking you questions too.
The invitation that changed my life is still being extended today.
To God be the glory.
