Growing up, I never knew the plans God had for me. I would say that I refused to grab a glimpse until I was about the age of 30. That means I didn't grab a glimpse of all the wonderful things I did 12 years after my horrible car accident that left me with a traumatic brain injury (TBI). Still believing in education, I received my bachelor's of art from Southeastern College of the Assemblies of God and my master's of science in human services from Springfield College. However, I felt God calling me to the area of writing. Furthermore, I hope that what I have to say in Jesus Christ's name offers hope, encouragement, and inspiration in Jesus Christ (1 Peter 2:21). So enjoy!

“Watching that flale machine work, seeing that crewmen risk life and limb literally to find and remove another 1 of who may know 1,000 more mines, these are the questions I have been asking myself since the day I in Somaliland.

“… I am sure that they believed it was the truth. But it was the truth that had very little to do with real life. Evidently, it was a story that did not demand much excitement or response.
