I Rose

No one wants to face the fact that often, life brings obstacles that shake our faith and shatter our peace. At one moment, it seems that we are coasting and enjoying the life that we always dreamed about and believed we would have. Then, the storms and winds of life begin to blow, and we find ourselves in situations that we never imagined. Perhaps it's a family issue or loss of employment. Maybe it is an unfavorable medical report or a battle with depression or anxiety. For me, it was an unexpected cancer diagnosis months after my 50th birthday. Whatever your "storm" may be, I am a front-row witness that you can rise again. How do I know? Because "I Rose" spiritually better than I was before the storm came and the winds of life blew. This book is a collection of God-inspired original poems that were born during my cancer treatment journey. I pray that this work blesses and encourages you to keep your eyes fixed on your purpose and to hold onto your faith despite any challenges that you encounter. Your pain has a purpose, and you are an inspiration to others, so go through your trial with integrity and with a positive outlook. I am a miracle, and so are you! Be encouraged as you rise above it all.... I Rose!
