Tell us a little about yourself. Im a momma to 4 beautiful daughters and Nana to 6 grandchildren. I started my writing journey, as an outlet, at the age of 9 when I lost my daddy to a careless murder. I have experienced a journey through life that has not been easy, to say the least. Yet each challenge became a breeding ground of opportunity to share my lifes testimony to Gods amazing grace; reflecting my freedom from the chains that bound me. my victory over unforgiveness, and the God-given ability to overcome the many struggles through the outlet of writing. As a faith-based author my goal is transparency and intentionality to share my heart with purpose, and given the opportunity, to capture your heart, challenge your mind, and stir your emotions with each stroke of my pen.
What was your motivation behind this project? My motivation behind this project is to allow my journey to answer these questions about your journey:
1. Who is God to you?
2. Who are you to God?
3. Why does that matter?
I believe that if we can answer these questions with conviction and confidence, we can maintain our faith through the most diffficult of times.
What do you hope folks will gain from this project? My prayer is that at the end of this 40 day journey of devotions and journaling, the reader would exchange the weight of their worries for the gift of salvation and freedom to clock into an eternal purpose. To allow their creator to repair the brokenness in their lives with His unconditional love.
How were you personally impacted by working on this project? This project started with my own difficult season that I was journaling through. I was reminded over and over again that God is cheering me on through all of lifes challenges. He can take what is broken and make it beautiful.
Who are your influences, sources of inspiration or favorite authors / artists? My literary influences are: C.S. Lewis, Charles Sturgeon, Oswald Chambers, Kay Arthur, Beth Moore, Priscila Shier, Chuck Swindol and John Maxwell
