About Me


*Please do not use or direct link to the images on this page ~ Read why here*

I do not consider, brethren, that I have captured and made it my own [yet]; but one thing I do [it is my one aspiration]: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the [supreme and heavenly] prize to which God in Christ Jesus is calling us upward. ~ Philippians 3:13-14 (Amp)

I have strength for all things in Christ Who empowers me [I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him Who infuses inner strength into me; I am self-sufficient in Christ's sufficiency]. ~ Philippians 4:13 (Amp)

I started writing Christian Inspirational poetry in the beginning of 1995. I used to write songs many years ago. I loved music (still do) and writing Lyrics. I started writing songs at around 12 - though I wasn't a Christian then and the songs reflected where I was at. When I came to the Lord, the song writing dramatically changed. Sometimes I'd just start singing them spontanously. I stopped writing songs around 1990, though around 2002, when my eldest son came to the Lord, he started singing songs to God. Upon hearing them I thought we could write some of them down, and I put tunes to them. This is all I did in the area of songwriting at that stage, though near the end of 2007, God started stiring within me the desire to write songs again. It started with writing Lyrics to go with someone's music, and the whole process was something I really enjoyed. I realized God was stirring this up in me again after all these years. I ended up purchasing a guitar and going through the agony of playing again :-) God then gave me new songs in 2008 and 2009, and only by His grace will there be new songs. I never thought I'd ever go back to song writing - but God has other plans :-)

God planted in my heart a dream to write a childrens series. At the time I started writing Christian poetry, I had an idea to write kids stories in rhyme. I started it around 2002, and my hope is to have it published one day, though for now I'm concentrating on writing children's picture book stories - which I would love to one day have published.

My hope and prayer for this site, is that you will find encouragement and comfort in the words of these poems & devotionals. Also that you will be challenged in your walk with God to press on in Him more.
