Dear Reader: What is the agenda that God has set for your life? How does one retain one's faith while facing life's vicissitudes? I received the answers to these questions in a unique way that I now share with you, praying that these messages will also enhance you spiritual growth. As a child I had little religious upbringing. However, I was always drawn to God's words, strengthening my spiritual beliefs on my own by reading the Bible and praying. After my mother's death, I joined a Methodist church and its college youth group where I met my husband. We raised three children, then after living on a sailboat for three years, my husband and I divorced. I returned to California to be reunited with our three children, seven grandchildren, two great grandchildren, and my twin sister. I continued my spiritual growth by joining a church and two prayer groups. But extraordinary help came to me as I slept. I believed the Holy Spirit sent me the words to these poems, thus strengthening my faith even further. I now share these poems with you, praying that they will also enrich you faith.
