Welcome  dear friends and thank you so much for visiting my blog!

It gives me joy to share from my heart the poetic inspirations God has given me. For most of my life, I was not a keen lover of poetry as such, but there came a time, after God had brought me through several very difficult life experiences, that His overwhelming love opened a door within. Poetry began to flow.. and I had to write. As I was being blessed, so I wanted to share and bless others too. I’m thankful for this opportunity and pray that something, within my simple words of expression, may help uplift and encourage you and help brighten your day.

“There’s a love that’s like no other
It’s a love that’s from on high
There’s none like it in this world
the love of God for you and I ….”

These are the first few lines of one of my poems entitled “There’s A Love”,  and it’s about this precious love of God that I love to write and decided to create this blogsite.

A LITTLE ABOUT ME ….

I accepted Jesus Christ as my Saviour in my teens and on that day began to experience God’s love – unknown before – a love that accepted me as I was and gave me new hope and purpose.

There were many things I wasn’t sure about in life because of challenges I faced early on in my life – being in care as a child, from the age of 3 months due to my mother being terminally ill (she died when I was 18 months, still in care). It’s a long story. As the years have gone by, the challenges have been many, in youth and adulthood .. but as I look at all that the Lord has brought me through, I can truly say that He has been my strength and comfort. Yes, I would never be where I am today without Him.

I’m so very glad that God’s love is the kind that looks beyond our faults, sees our needs and reaches down to lift us up. I’m continually in awe at the wonder of His love. He is the Source of my inspirations, through the Holy Spirit, and I give Him all the glory. I love the Lord for Who He is and all He has done.

I am a pastor’s wife and God has blessed us (my husband, Frederick and I) with 4 wonderful children (all grown!), 2 lovely daughters-in-law and three beautiful grandchildren.

God has truly brought me from a long way and I hope one day to be able to write my story. In the meantime, by His grace, I hope to keep sharing as He blesses me (whenever I can). I realise it’s not always easy finding time – life happens – but it gives me to joy to share with you, in the hope to encourage you in the ups and downs of life. By the grace of God I hope to share more often, Amen! God bless you!

I praise God for enabling me to publish 2 books of inspirational Christian poetry:
Forever Grateful and Comfort & Hope ~ both published in  2014 and available from Amazon. 

Please see “BOOKS“ menu for details. Each of these also has a Facebook author page, where some of the poems from each book are shared (see below).

My third book of poetry, Candle of Hope, is soon to be released  (by the grace of God).

God bless you!
Christine
