I am an educator, a wife of 21 years, and mother of three beautiful children. I have taught the word of God to all ages and love to share it in creative ways. I've always had a passion for written expression. Over the years, I have documented my personal thoughts and prayers. Poems, devotionals, worship songs, and more have come from my life experiences. Now, I am ready to share them with the hope that lives and hearts will be changed as well as greatly blessed.
I am flawed but striving for perfection in Christ.
Although I have fallen short of the glory of God, I am forgiven.
I am loved with an everlasting love.
I am FREE!
