My name is Michelle Lowndes.
I was born and raised in Auckland, New Zealand. The youngest of five. I live in South Auckland, with my husband
Tony. We have been married for 30 years (March 1993). We have 4 beautiful children - Nathan, Caleb, Josiah and
our only daughter, Alisha.

I am what I call a
'Home Executive' (known as a stay at home Mum). I attend Harvest Christian Church (a pentecostal church - AOG)
along with my family. I have been a Christian for about 41 years now. You may want to read my brief Testimony
I started writing
Inspirational Christian poetry in the beginning of 1995. Many years prior, I wrote Christian songs. I do enjoy
writing songs (when inspired) and the lyrics to other people's music. I began writing songs when I was about 12
years old - although I wasn't a Christian at the time and the songs reflected where I was at. When I came to the
Lord, the songwriting dramatically changed. Sometimes I'd just start singing them spontaneously. I don't really
write songs now.
God planted in my heart
a dream to write a Christian children's picture book series. At the time I started writing Christian poetry, I
had an idea to write kids stories in rhyme. I started it around 2002, but it tends to get shelved. My hope
is to have it finished and published one day. I have also been involved in writing secular children's picture
book stories, which I would also love to have published one day.
Around 2003, God spoke
to me about writing Christian devotionals-and I have been writing devotionals ever since. I also started writing
Christian sentiments.
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.
