Our soul and spirit, like our physical body, are uniquely designed to heal from trauma, crisis, and disappointment.
Everything within me points to hope when I'm at my lowest. I cannot help it. I have to yield to it. That's why I write. I have to tell the stories of faith triumphing over situations that would want to leave me hopeless and defeated. Light invades darkness. Faith, truth, life, and hope overcome hopelessness, lies, doubt, and death. For me, writing makes sense of the senseless. It brings healing to my heart, and, I pray, to the hearts of my readers. Our stories of His goodness are what we can offer to a world seeking light in the darkness. We must tell our stories bravely. They will change lives.
Luke 19:40 - "I tell you," he replied, "if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out."

Romans 8:37 - We are more than conquerors through him who loved us.
There are physical places on earth that have
power for us. As a writer, I feel more creative in certain coffee shops, book
shops, and parks. As a photographer, my soul is filled on a mountain trail with
distant views and the scent of pine. It’s as if the earth and all of Creation are demonstrating their love for you in that place! Where is your power place? Be sure to
spend time there and renew your spirit and your sense of purpose.
Romans 8:19 - The entire universe waits with excitement, yearning to see the unveiling of God's glorious sons and daughters! (The Passion Translation)
Jeremiah 10:12 - It is he who made the earth by his power, who established the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding stretched out the heavens.
