ABOUT Katie.M

My love is tattooed on my heart, like many other things I love to do – like travelling, riding motorbikes, occasionally jumping out of planes and cranes (skydiving and bungee jumping if you’re wondering) and just being an adrenaline junkie. I’m daring, fearless and adventurous whenever I get the chance.

Today, I’m proud to say that I live life without limits. I’m living proof that you can live through anything and triumph over any adversity. I’m a lawyer, motivational speaker, and the author of inspirational books.
But it all started in a very different place.

I lived for many years with heartbreak. I soaked my pillow morning and night with buckets of tears, so many that I wondered if I’d have any more left. There was an emptiness in my soul, and it felt like nothing but darkness surrounded me. I lived with a crippling, unjustified pain so raw that I would have ripped my heart out just to stop it from pulsating pain.

All this changed after one encounter on an ordinary night, which had begun like any other night. At the time, I was thinking, is there more to life than working, getting married, having children and continuing the meaningless cycle of life?”

The emotions of a meaningless life, coupled with my raw pain, caused me to cry to God and say, “God! If You are really real, I want you to show Yourself to me now. I have called to You to take this pain away, and still I suffer. If You do not show Yourself to me now, I will commit suicide, and blood will be on your hands!”

I knew that I’d never commit suicide, but even so, I still cried to let my pain out, hoping that God would hear me.

Suddenly, a bright white light covered the room. I saw a manly figure dressed in all white standing in front of me.

He was extremely tall, huge in stature, and yet He was the gentlest being I had ever laid eyes on. He exuded an aura of peace. I could feel his love radiating out and enveloping the room. It penetrated deep within my soul and filled me with a peace I’d never known before. His love within me was so great and overwhelming that it dazed me. All I remember is that next I was being held in the arms of the giant, Jesus. He cradled me like a baby, told me that everything would be okay and that He loved me.

From that moment on, I never again experienced the pain I had lived with for so long. From that moment on, a tangible sense of love followed me wherever I went. I could simply feel its presence, its warmth, its protection. That love overwhelmed me so much that I couldn’t just keep it to myself.

In the love I could not contain, was birthed a desire in me to share with others, the love and goodness of Jesus through blogging and writing inspirational books.

The simple purpose of my writings is to share hope – hope that can serve as a beacon of light to those living in darkness as I once did. To awaken the lion within all of us, that we may live fearless, courageous lives, with no limits!

My favourite saying: When there is nothing left but God, that is when you find out that God is all you need. If you give me time… I can figure out how to live without food, water and air…But I can never live without Jesus 🙂
