I am a proud mother of three great kids and also a happily married wife who loves Jesus! I am caregiver to my wonderful brother David who has downs syndrome and blessed to have a wonderful family; each and every one.
I have always been blessed but not always aware of just how much until I hit rock bottom with nowhere to turn but up. I was in a very abusive 20 year marriage that took me down a very dark path; running from the law, and eventually 2 years in prison before I finally broke free from his grip. I don't think of prison as a punishment from God (man, yes), but as a blessing in which He reshaped and remolded me to be who I am today. I am now able to reach out into our community and make others aware of situations that many do not understand, such as: homeless teens, addicts, parents who are addicts, abused women.
I am an author of 2 published Christian books (www.booksofhope.net) and currently working on my third book to be released in early May 2010. The books were written to share my experiences and hopefully to reach out to others in similar situations as I once was. They are distributed in Battered womens shelters, prisons and different out reach programs all across the country. If I can help even one soul then I will have done something good in my life.

The Bible
The miracles of Christ express the very nature of God and God's absolute availability to those who believe. Each miracle reflected love, kindness, mercy, compassion, and grace; all which came directly from God. Jesus lived a life of compassion and perfection; willing to share His knowledge of the Kingdom that was waiting for anyone willing to accept Him as the Son of God. Each miracle was designed to teach, heal, lead us to true faith and most importantly, to show His connection and relationship to God the Father. Without the miracles, faith c...
