A lifelong longing for God. A journey through spiritual searching and conversion. A discovery of the transforming power of surrender. Have you ever longed to know God in a way that goes beyond ordinary prayer? In When You Empty Your Heart .... A Spiritual Journey, Michelle Willis invites you into the intimate story of a lifelong search for God-a search that began in childhood, led through years of spiritual confusion, and ultimately brought her back to the Catholic Church. With remarkable honesty and openness, she shares the joys, struggles, mysteries, and unexpected encounters that have marked her relationship with the Lord. At the heart of her story is a promise received as a young woman: "When you empty your heart of all that is in it now, then I will come and abide with you."This is a story of conversion, mystical prayer, suffering, and the transforming power of divine love. Through personal experiences of God's presence, the loss of loved ones, serious illness, and a growing call to serve others, Michelle reveals how faith can become a living, intimate relationship with Jesus Christ. Whether you are seeking a deeper prayer life, wrestling with questions of faith, or simply longing to draw closer to God, this memoir offers a heartfelt invitation to discover what can happen when we surrender our hearts and allow Him to lead the way.
