My Heart Behind the Stories
I want to write stories that keep readers turning the pages. I will strive to be transparent about the truths and shadows in this world and hope to reflect the light of Christ, calling us to Him.
One of my favorite scriptures is: “I had fainted unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.” (Psalm 27:13)
