Faith Always
It has been such an incredible journey the last year. The old adage of telling God your plans and then watching him work in a totally different way is so true!

Opened Doors
I have to say as we journey through life God really answers our prayers.

I have an incredibleContinue reading “Opened Doors”

However, I was able to do my first reading at Beaches Chapel Preschool a couple of weeks ago and this is why I decided to write children’s books. To see smiles on the faces of childrenContinue reading “Fairy Good Days”
