i've always liked to keep track of things, write out whats going on in my life and my family, as my children grew. Some days I didn't know how to rest, so when I was outside racking leaves or just being still; it seemed to refresh me, like I could be closer to the Lord, looking at all of his creation..in awestruck wonder. As far as poetry is concerned, I don't remember exactly when I started. I love to write and sing and I love people...if I were with you right now, I would just want to sit down with you and hear your story, take notes...take a walk or have a meal and see whats going on and how He can help you with the next steps. Its like, I really don't know whats next, but when my mind is trying to write a poem with whatever I'm struggling with and then at the end of the poem, He encourages me through it. I'm just walking/living my life out and sharing it with you all in my little perspective, small as it is. Ive been through a lot in my life, parents divorcing when i was little, getting pregnant without being married, and being scared to death. I made so many bad choices friends and I'm hear to share what He did to me. He chased after me and love me with this love I didnt understand. People tried to love me when I was younger and I had no idea what it was so I pushed it away. I thought I had to perform for love, but I was wrong. Here I am, in all of my little poems and sometimes one of my beautiful daughters draws an amazing picture for me to share with you all. Please enjoy and know that I've walked out these things before it gets to you. :)
