I am what I call a Home Executive (known as a stay at home Mum). I attend Harvest Christian Church (a pentecostal church) along with my family. I have been a Christian for about 28 years now. You may want to read my brief Testimony

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.
