The best gift I have ever received was being court ordered to a faith-based rehab center in Hot Springs, Arkansas called Shalom. It was there that I rededicated myself to the Lord. I began a surrender that I will never end and learned the basic skills to suit up in the armor of God, where all things are possible.

I pray the poems I have written while turning my life around will inspire you. They were written while I was going through real struggles in my mind. Although through my heart I truly believe God inspired the words to help others dealing with the same issues.

Hope restores your belief that with faith, all things are possible through prayer.

Live because tomorrow is not guaranteed.

Love because a hardened heart produces a hard life.

Laugh because laughter really is chicken soup for the soul.
