Poetry of a Dove

I was brought up in a foster home, when I was 9-years-old a Sunday school teacher came to our school and told us about Jesus. I was instantly attracted to His name and the Sunday school teacher said “Give all of your heart”. So I went to my Nanna’s that weekend and got on my knees and gave Jesus my heart. All turned to doom when I was abused by a step-dad, it crushed my faith and belief about myself. I grew to lead a sinful life and left home when I was 18-yearsold.  But something was tugging at me to know Jesus again, it was a beautiful, still voice. When I turned 29 I was sick of my sinful life and decided to join a church but I still struggled. I spent about 18 years in and out of mental hospitals but was still believing for a miracle. Finally my hospital stays ended as I drew closer to Jesus. Then I was diagnosed with breast cancer having two lumps. So I sat and read God’s word over it and  not long after this the Holy Spirit intervened and said your breast cancer is healed! Sure enough the biopsy was clear no more cancer!

I have a very supportive husband and family who have seen me through my illness and been there for me. I decided I would put some uplifting  poetry in a book with part proceeds going to the needy. I now live for Jesus and have much to thank Him for. MY life is now Christ’s and I long to see others saved and to see the poor free and abused saved and to come to Christ.
