Tell us a little about yourself. Originally from Hot Springs, Arkansas, I am 71-year-old retired middle school math teacher living in Northeast, Arkansas. My passion is to encourage women of all ages to discover the ultimate peace and happiness that can be had through genuine prayer, Bible study, and meditating on the scriptures. My husband and I enjoy spending time with our 4 grown children, 12 grandchildren, and 3 great-grandchildren.
What was your motivation behind this project? I realized I wasn't really hungering and thirsting for God. I didn't have that deep personal relationship with Him that I had heard Godly preachers talk about. I began reading devotionals, inspirational articles, and God's Word with true sincerity, while praying for God to help me truly find the secret to having an intimately closeness with Him. As I discovered a true hunger and thirst for Him, he deeply impressed upon my heart to write this book and share with others.
What do you hope folks will gain from this project? I hope women in particular will be inspired to to make true Bible study, prayer, and meditation the top priority in their lives, and draw close to the Lord.
How were you personally impacted by working on this project? Preparing to write this book opened up a "treasure box" of resources and Biblical insights. Going from reading and praying, because I knew it was the right thing to do, to now guarding my personal time with the Lord, I can earnestly say, "I humbly and sincerely hunger and thirst for righteousness."
Who are your influences, sources of inspiration or favorite authors / artists? Dr. Charles Stanley has had the biggest influence on my Christian life through radio, television, and devotionals.
Anything else you'd like readers / listeners to know: Let this book be the springboard to inspire you to get your priorities straight and fully surrender and commit the rest of your life to seeking God and His will, purpose, and plan for you. By doing so, you'll discover true peace, happiness, and contentment.
