I am continually impressed with the information that the-life-business offers its members and customers. Orrin Woodward and the other founders have developed a program that allows people to learn and grow in all areas of their life. Very few people I talk to think they have it all figured out so with the LIFE information we can truly reach a ton of people and make a big impact just by introducing new information into their lives.

What I love so much about LIFE is that the information does not teach you WHAT to believe, it just teaches you to know WHY you believe what you believe. And then essentially once you know ‘why’ you will finally know ‘what’ to believe because the truth will hit you like a 90 lb sledgehammer. I didn’t know what I believe so of course I didn’t have a reason why; and so many people I talk to are in the same place. Eternity is a long time to be wrong so why not at least investigate the information and figure it out for yourself. After all, you are the one who will deal with the consequences.
We don’t know how much time we will be given on earth. I feel a strong sense of urgency to lead people to truth that will affect them eternally. There are way too many people that I care about in my life that don’t know God; trust me I have been there too. And I am so grateful someone cared enough about me to lead me to Him. Now I feel responsible to pay it forward.
This is one of my favorite songs and anytime I get confused, angry, scared or sad I play this song because it reminds me of how much God loves me (and you):
I understand that one blog article will not be enough to reach the masses of people who don’t have a relationship with Christ. That’s where the-life-business comes in. We have our hands on information that will teach forgiveness, mercy, strength, hope, love, obedience, prayer and grace. I encourage you, if you are struggling in this area, please take a look at the AGO (All Grace Outreach) subscription and don’t be afraid to discuss your questions with someone you trust. Life is temporary but eternity is forever.
Today… FOUND
Blessings,
Kristen
Come as you are… great words because these words offer hope to one and all. My faith is my life, I believe I live because I was granted another breath, another moment, another day by my Creator and as such I need to make the most of each day I am gifted. Live as it is my last day and plan as I have 100 years to live. Having faith in my Savior gives freedom to live to my fullest, because I know where I will be in eternity. I have absolutes to live by, truth, integrity, moral standards, and the Golden Rule – do onto others as you would to onto self, love unconditionally, and forgive no matter what. Does it mean life is just a bed of roses, well it all depends how you look at it, yes roses are beautiful flowers, but each rose has a stem with thorns. The thorns are those difficult, painful, even confusing moments we go through and the rose is the promise that at the end of each trial there is triumph. So have FAITH, live on, and believe.
Amen Imelda! You are a beautiful example of a woman of God. Thank you for your faith and love, we should all strive to have that type of relationship with our Creator. God Bless you!
Well said Imelda: You also are a great witness to God’s unending Grace.
If god is for us Who can be against. Bless you and Kristen blessed to know you two.
Imelda, thank you for always being a shining example of the love of Christ. Your faith is inspirational. God Bless!
Kristen: What a beautiful witness. When people give up on God know this God never gives up on anyone. If you find you are far from Him , He’s not the one who moved.
Back in August of nineteen ninety nine I was thinking about my relationship with Jesus and wrote the following poem.
MY FRIEND
JESUS IS A FRIEND OF MINE,
JUST ASK AND HE BECOMES
ONE OF THINE.
HE CAME TO SAVE ALL MANKIND
HE’LL HEAL THE LAME, GIVE SIGHT
TO THE BLIND.
THE FATHER LOVES US WITHOUT COST.
HE SENT HIS SON TO FIND THE LOST.
JESUS SHOWS US THE WAY,
IF WE FOLLOW WE WILL NOT STRAY.
HE IS THE GREAT GOOD SHEPHERD
WHO COMES TO LEAD THE LAMBS.
HE’LL TAKE US TO THE KINGDOM
WHERE GLORY WILL BE HEARD.
SO MY FRIEND AND NEIGHBOR SEEK
HIS GENTLE HAND BE A FRIEND OF
JESUS AND JOIN A VICTORY BAND.
BY BILL EDER AUGUST 1999
We are all born to Know, love, and serve God so we can one day be with Him in our heavenly home that Jesus has prepared for us.We serve Him by serving our brothers and sisters. This leadership group is a great vehicle to do just that.
Blessings to all —Bill–
I love this Bill! You also are an amazing witness to God. I love what you said…if you feel far from God, He isn’t the one who moved. What a great statement and so true. Thank you for being a living example of God’s love. I have a lot to learn from you.
Miss Seidl I loved reading this. The Team and LIFE company are truly making one of the most important differences in life, leading people to Jesus. Without this crazy company I don’t know where my life would be. I was on a for sure train (massive) wreck! I wrote part of my testimony in my blog awhile back.

Awesome, I do remember reading this! Thank you for sharing Brandon. You are right, there is no bigger difference one can make than leading people to an eternal life with Christ. God Bless you!!

Thank you Gordon for your comment! It is truly a blessing that we have a vehicle that can lead people to a relationship with Jesus. Thanks for your leadership! God Bless!
Hi Kristen.
This is a beautiful blog post your have written about your journey to faith.
Having been raised in a family where we went through the motions of faith: going to church on Sundays, grace at supper, evening prayers – I thought I “got” faith. But I really didn’t.
At the Ukrainian Catholic church I attended, I felt like a lost sheep because I really never knew why I believed what I believed. Somehow I settled for believing because our priest said so.
Before I came into the LIFE business, I would not have picked up a book on faith, nor would I have explored more on faith. Thoughts about my salvation and how eternity is a LONG time, never were factored in. I was coasting.
But since then, after listening to the incredible testimonials of the PC leaders, the CDs, books through the AGO series, and attending the Sunday morning mass at the leadership conventions, I was moved to start changing my path. Actually, moved to tears because I knew I could do so much better for my Lord.
My journey is still in its early stages, and it will be a lifetime journey, but to finally realize that I needed to be on that path has made all the difference.
Take care, -Sara
Awesome Sara! Yes I hear a lot of people tell me about their previous life of ‘knowing’ God but not having a relationship. And once the realization comes to them about the journey to salvation, it is like the flood gates open for the first time! This AGO information has so much to offer a person no matter what stage they are at on the faith journey. Your story is very inspiring and should be heard by all. Thank you for sharing it with us on this blog post. Blessings to you!!
Kristen- your witness to your coming to Christ is truly inspirational. Thank you for throwing your heart on your sleeve. It will touch someone-even if you never know it until you meet that person in the kingdom. My hope and prayer is that the LIFE AGO series will find it’s way into the hands of all God’s lost sheep. It is certainly helping us…. God bless.
Absolutely Joanne! My association with you and Kurt and Bill and Mary Ann have been nothing short of providential. You have become such great friends and I really look forward to a future of freedom with you both! Let’s make it our mission to lead as many people to Christ as possible! Love you girl 🙂 God Bless!
I’m not a believer in luck. I believe things happen for a reason. I rediscovered my faith sometime in 2005 when my life hit rock bottom. The LIFE business has done nothing to enhance my faith and belief that a better life is possible for all of us. I am giddy over the feeling a getting better every day and I can’t wait to direct others to us.
Awesome Randy! I too believe everything happens for a reason and I know your association with LIFE was definitely in God’s plans! We are blessed to have you join us and I look forward to hearing more of your story of coming to faith.
