These shiny pieces of silver may look like ordinary jewelry, but once you know just a bit of my story you’ll understand that “Remember ME”® encompasses so much more. “Remember ME”® is the collision of my humanity with His divinity, my weakness with His strength, my inability with His provision, my despair with His eternal hope. Our heart to heart communion was not found in a church setting or on a holy mountaintop, but in the wreckage of my tattered soul. 

Though my experience was a daily test of survival and tempted me time and again to give up, I would not trade the past 10 years of suffering for all the world’s treasures. For in this place I personally came to know by experience the boundless expanse of God’s extravagant love (Ephesians 3:16-20). Not merely acquiring intellectual knowledge about God, but knowing Him in all the intimate special ways one knows a cherished friend.

Perhaps if I could spiritualize these painful years into a tidy, “easy to swallow” package containing all the answers, it would be less difficult to share my brokenness. But the truth is, there was nothing pretty or palatable about my struggle. I was an absolute mess. Not by appearances though, for my well put together self deceived all who peered at my life from the outside. But there was One who knew the excruciating pain that was gnawing on my soul from the inside and He loved me too much to leave me the way I was.

My journey to wholeness was a dangerous climb because of the bloody wars fought in the silent confines of my unquiet mind. Things most people took for granted became my desperate longing. I couldn’t sleep, taste food, peer into the loving eyes of my husband or children, or feel anything but pain. To somehow make sense of a madness I could not control or explain, I began to search for God with all my heart. I clung to the words of the Psalmist David “Lord you know the hopes of the helpless. Surely you will listen to their cries and comfort them” (Psalm 10:17).

Then I experienced God. Through His Word I encountered a Person and not a theology as my eyes opened to see His beautiful, irrepressible heart lovingly woven throughout each page cover to cover. This revelation of The Father’s Heart of Love was the tragic missing component of all my Biblical knowledge and was the inspiration behind each piece of what was to become “Remember ME”®.The scriptures and poetry in this catalog were scribbled onto scrap pieces of tear-stained paper often in the middle of tortured nights as lifelines, preserving me with the nourishment needed for that moment. These were not merely doctrinal Truths, but living Hope tattooed on my soul by the finger of God. I found His Grace inexhaustible, His Comfort limitless, and His Love everlasting. He said, “Bind your testimony around your neck that you might always remember My Love and Faithfulness.”

But now, here in this moment, I ask you to Open the eyes of your heart and journey with me into the Arms of God. If you listen closely through the following pages, you’ll hear His loving voice of encouragement cheer you to “Overcome”, you’ll feel His divine comfort as He holds your face and says, “I Know”, and you’ll sense His anchoring Presence in the fiercest storm as “Everything” you need. See what God has done with my nothingness; just imagine what your destiny holds. Dare to believe.
