I am a daughter, sister, mother, grandmother, schoolteacher, published author, cancer survivor and friend. As the daughter and first-born of God-fearing parents, I accepted Jesus as my Savior when I was nine years old and lived my life as expected: graduated high school, went to college and graduated, married, and had two children all the while remaining active in church.
At some point, I began to allow the world’s voices to drown out God’s voice, and I became spiritually ill. During this time when I listened to the world’s voices, I made decisions I now know were not in keeping with God’s teachings. Those decisions resulted in long and deep dire consequences for me and my family. Thankfully, God allowed the rug to be pulled out from under me, and I fell flat on my face with nowhere to look but up to God, and since then, I have spent my life in a close walk with Him.
It is my prayer and hope that the Lord will use me and my experiences to help guide other women in listening for God’s voice when the world’s voices seem to drown out His voice.
