: About Me

Marijo Phelps was saved by His grace in 1974, from 9 years of professing atheism into His loving arms. She lives with her husband in the middle of a mountain meadow. 

She is wanting to spread the good news about His redemptive plan for our lives through written media. Her name is pronounced Mary Jo (her dad got cute with the spelling of it).

She was an RN for 23+ years, missionary with YWAM then statistical analyst for Every Home for Christ over 9 years.

She had her first poem published when she was four years old (her mom might have had more than a little to do with that!) She has been writing ever since

My inspiration ...

After being an atheist for 9 years - the Lord Jesus Christ
