Introduction You know the most about a person by who they love. I love Jesus Christ of Nazareth, who He is and how He loves us. I love His Father! I love His Spirit! The more I love Him, the more I love you. I love my husband, a man of integrity I am privileged to know. I love my daughter, a little girl who has transformed me in so many ways. I have more brothers and sisters than 1200 characters would give me space to express, or to show proper homage to each but they are amazing and inspiring in so many different ways. I love my parents for their undying generosity, and for being my best of friends. I like to write because I can tap into a place where I feel truly alive, that sort of alive where I'm so aware I don't realize I feel it. Life tingles when I write, even the very air around me. Prayer is one of those things I am not released to write about yet. I can't even speak about it suitably, I just know that I'm called to pray and that I need to pray: late at night, in the wee hours of the morning. Anything else is hidden in heaven, I hope.
Interests Writing, prayer, Jesus Christ, my Lord and Saviour.
