Mormon author shares journey through '31 Dates in 31 Days'

"I know that each of us is a divine individual, and I also see how God looks at each of us," Johnson said. "I never knew what it really meant when I was told 'God loves me,' but now I see how he is able to love me for who I am. I am so grateful to have had a small glimpse of how Heavenly Father sees each of us."

Johnson is now a certified dating coach. As she looks back at her life, it seems she was destined to become "the date lady" she is today.



"Dating, something that I once dreaded, was the key to everything: the key to learning about God, the key to learning about relationships and ultimately the key to learning about love," she said.
