Inspiration

Although I never lost the Christian faith that my parents instilled in me, in adulthood I allowed marriage, family, and business to overshadow my walk with God. After the death of my husband, I cried out to the Lord, and He answered. From that moment, the Holy Spirit has guided my life. I later married and shared in the ministry of a James, a chaplain, who is my coauthor. Many people have asked me about my strong faith, so I decided to share my story to inspire others who seek to deepen their relationship with the Lord. After I started writing, James became enthusiastic about the project and joined me in writing the book. On the Wings of the Wind, is the story of my spiritual journey, but it's not mine alone. It is the story of the relationship anyone can have with a loving God who wants to guide their life as He guides mine.
