Wake me gentle Savior — open wide my eyes.
To see this wondrous day you’ve set before me.
Touch my heart, my mind, my will;
That I might follow close beside your guiding footsteps.
For I know so very well, the way you choose…
Is what’s best for me.

I love writing and have enjoyed journaling all my life. I’ve been writing articles for Jewels Magazine over the last year, and love sharing about the Lord and encouraging others in our faith. I’m a published author of a children’s book:”Help,Lord! I Need A Bandage On My Heart.” I’m almost ready to publish my second book in the “Help Lord” series in a few months. In 2009 I received a diploma from LongRidge Writers Group, and I received an Honorable Mention Certificate in the Writer’s Digest 76th Annual Writing Competition. I feel very priviledged to have this opportunity to write for Jewels Magazine.
