A strange thing started happening to me a few months back. I found myself waking up around 5:00 a.m. or so several mornings with a strong need to study Bible on a particular subject or maybe a special scripture. I found myself pouring out my heart into written devotionals. I write about depression, anger, love, trust, finding new siblings, and always trusting in God for the strength and guidance through each new journey. The more I allowed the Holy Spirit to guide me, the more at peace my life became, and the more. I wanted to share my experiences with others. I set out to write a year’s worth of weekly devotionals. Walking with God contains fifty-two devotionals. The life lessons that I write about are some that I am sure a lot of us face.
My hope is that this book, which is filled with God’s words and His love, will give someone a little more hope, a little more strength, and a little more peace to keep fighting the fight and staying on the winning team. God’s team.

Who is Diane Johnson? Th at really is an interesting question with many answers. First and foremost, she is a child of God. She is also the daughter of JC and Dorothy. She is the wife of Gary and the mother of James, Casey, and Andrea. Lilah and Gabi call her Grandma. She is the sister to six brothers and eight sisters.
I could keep going on those types of relationships, but as you can see, she is a busy lady. Several years ago, on one of her birthdays that end in 0, she was united with twelve siblings who had been separated for many years through adoption and other circumstances. Th at changed her life. She was and still is one of the major driving forces in the dynamics of that ‘unusual’ family.
All her experiences in life have served to make her more and more
aware of God’s presence and power in her life. She never dreamed
that God would use her in such a powerful and public way, yet
here she is. As a minister, I am impressed by her willingness to
submit to God’s will and be used as His vessel. I believe that these
real-life experiences which she shares will encourage many who are going through similar experiences.
Of all the hats she wears and all the relationships she is in, I simply know her as the Brat, my little sister.
