Why I Started Writing:

My writing journey began later in life. I was attending a three-week ministry school when one of the leaders asked me if I wrote. “Um, well, I journal sometimes,” I answered. She then suggested I tell my story (which she didn’t know)—that it would help others. Somehow, I knew those words were God-inspired. So I wrote my story. I asked God what to do next. Long story short, I met Linda Evans, attended AWSA as a protégé, and the rest is history. I am on the great adventure with the Lord as He guides me through this process.
