Thank you so much to my dear friend Suzanne for asking me to do this interview and for her belief in me.
About 18 years ago I began writing children’s short stories and poetry which were accepted for publication through a British publishing house. The Lord had other plans though, and it didn’t proceed.
With time, He has led me through permitted trials, heartache and long-term illness and allowed the pain, the questions and the joy to overflow onto the page, bringing Him glory.
It is my heart’s desire, that these posts, recorded songs, and my books will bring special moments to the little ones and comfort for anyone hurting, those crying unseen tears, anyone needing the Saviour …. and we all do! (adapted from back cover of “Fragrance from the Spring”.)
As of 1st July, 2013 I am now offering personalized poems. Please see the page link at top of second column for details.
PLEASE BE BLESSED AS YOU READ MY BLOG.

I pray that our Lord continue to bless you richly my sister in Christ. God has given you gifts, He has anointed your mind and your hand and I want to thank you for being a blessing to us, “your readers,” by being faithful to your call. Continue allowing The Spirit of The Lord to use you mightily.
…LOVE…GRACE…PEACE…

It’s of such, that when we are going through trials and tribulations, we tend to not want to go through anything, but that’s when God brings out the best in us. Continue to do His will, and your reward will be sure, both here on Earth and in Heaven as well. God bless you my dear.

It is through suffering that our gift of faith is put to the test and may truly shine, manifesting our love for Christ through many trials and tribulations. If we endure such with faith, hope and above all love, then we become by grace what God is in essence, love. Thus, we become martyrs (witnesses) for Christ and give glory to God, through the gift of The Holy Spirit.
God bless you in every way
