On the fourth of March 2016 my life changed forever. On that day I was healed, saved and born again.

For four years prior to that day I had been suffering with a degenerative spinal disorder, crippling pain, depression and anxiety. I had to give up a job I loved and I lost my identity. My family saw me go through all this and were helpless.

I was on twenty different medications every day and I had had enough, so I cried out to Jesus to help me or take me as I didn’t care which. He chose to help. He chose to change my life around, He chose to give me a purpose in life that wasn’t my worth in a job or anything else earthly. He chose me to work for Him, to live with Him, to follow Him forever.
I did, I do, I am His. Jesus gave me poetry, He wanted me to write. I had always written since being young but not like this, this was new, powerful, from God not man. This God given gift came about when my mum was dying as I used writing as a means of getting my thoughts out, led by Jesus, all the words are from Jesus.

He led, I followed. I still am. I still write what He gives me to write. At the moment I’m going around schools, reading the children’s book that He gave me and encouraging kids to write themselves, to be creative as I was but not to leave that path as I did as I know now that was my true path, my walk was with Jesus through poetry.
I’m so glad that He gave me another chance to be as I was always meant to be. Now I am whole. Now I am free. Now I belong.

My Advice

My advice would be to listen to what God wants in your life, not what you want to do. We don’t always know what’s best for us.
