Welcome to Gems from Jesus

Hello, and welcome to “Gems From Jesus.”
My name is Darlene Hepler. I began this blog after retiring from 42 years in Women’s Ministries. (I guess you can take the woman out of the Word, but you can’t take the Word out of the woman) Gems From Jesus is the name I have given to my personal journaling. Through years of teaching and speaking to women, as well as some very painful years in my personal life, Christ has taught me great and rich lessons that I have recorded in stacks of journals. I am now excited to expand these thoughts into a blog to share with others. My prayer is that out of reading them your personal journey with Jesus Christ will both deepen and blossom.

In Christ,
Darlene
