Jeremiah 29:10-14 NIV

This is what the Lord says: “When seventy years are completed for Babylon, I will come to you and fulfill my good promise to bring you back to this place. For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you,” declares the Lord, “and will bring you back from captivity. I will gather you from all the nations and places where I have banished you,” declares the Lord, “and will bring you back to the place from which I carried you into exile.”

Reading these scriptures for the first time as a young 14-year-old girl they sounded so powerful and hopeful. Initially, I thought this promise only applied to the Jews during their time of struggle. However, as I processed these scriptures, I continued to see God's work in my life over the past 34 years and how He rescued me. I knew then, and I certainly know now that God was calling me out of captivity to reconcile me back to my destiny: which is to have a relationship with Him. He was not calling me to join a church, religion, or social club. His call was simple, "Annaika, I want you back because you belong to me." I genuinely believe this call is for you as well!

​Romans 5: 6-8-NIV

"Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us."

These scriptures are one of the major rocks in my foundation with Jesus! Knowing that He did not die for me because I was "good" but because I am broken, sick, and drowning in my mess. This is an incredible love language that is beyond my comprehension. That love language is extended to you as well no matter where you are in life. This ministry will focus on Jesus' call for each of you, not as a chore or something that you are forced to do but an individual decision to have a personal relationship with him.
