Ever since I was a child I have loved to read and write. I would write out my thoughts on paper for years. Then, it progressed to writing for fun short stories other forms of creative writing. My writings which I kept just piled up as the years went by.

It was several years ago after a series of life changing challenges that was to be the catalyst that caused me to write even more. I wrote largely about my life experiences, emotional battles and mind binds and some short stories.

I never thought that my passion for writing would increase as the years would march on. Then I landed first on Helium. This is an amazing site and I was able to write here and communicate with other writers.

Here I have found and endless amount of support as well as be inspired by the writings of other members. Throughout my life the writings of other authors have blessed me in a tremendous way. I pray in time I can learn the craft of writing well.

Through the years my faith in God has kept me going through the hills and valleys of life. It has been in the most challenging and heartrending times of my life that I have been most inspired to write.

If I can touch the life of one person with anything I write then it will all be worth it in the end.

Kari Anna walked into her living room at three in the afternoon and put down her keys on the black coffee table. Before going into the kitchen to make a cup of tea, she walked over to the television and turned it on. Once in the kitchen she took the kettle and filled it up with water and then plugged it in.

Suddenly, she was startled by the sound of sirens which seemed too close for comfort! With the kettle boiling now, she reached in the cupboard and took out her favorite pink mug. Imprinted on it was the Bible verse, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Just befor...
