Only when one can embrace their Insignificance before God...can one truly embrace their Significance...to God

    

HI! WELCOME TO 'HIS INSPIRATIONS'.  

I AM A 67 YEAR OLD 'PRIMARILY' CHRISTIAN POET AND NOVELIST, WHO PRESENTLY RESIDES IN ATLANTA, GEORGIA.

AS A  RETIRED NURSE'S ASSISTANT, WHO IS DIVORCED AND A MOTHER OF 4, GRANDMOTHER OF 11 AND GREATGRANDMOTHER OF 7, I HAVE EXPERIENCED A GREAT DEAL  IN THIS WORLD. 

SEEMS THAT I HAVE BEEN WRITING ALL MY LIFE BUT IT'S JUST IN THE LAST 25 YEARS OR SO THAT I HAVE COME TO REALIZE THAT THE BEAUTIFUL WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT GOD WAS GIVING ME, WAS NOT ONLY FOR ME BUT FOR OTHERS AS WELL. THUS, I HAVE ACCEPTED THE CALL TO BECOME AN INSTRUMENT OF OUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST. I WAS A SINNER BEFORE AND I STILL AM A SINNER. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN NOW AND BEFORE IS THAT I AM NOW AWARE OF GOD'S DEEP CARING FOR ME AND I STRIVE TO BE AS GOOD A FRIEND TO HIM AS HE IS TO ME...THOUGH I NEVER GET THERE. I NOW KNOW THAT EACH AND EVERY DAY, I REQUIRE THE PRECIOUS GIFTS OF 'MERCY' AND 'GRACE' IN ORDER TO SURVIVE. I LOVE THE LORD AND AM SO GLAD THAT ON CALVARY HE PROVED THE EXTENT  OF HIS  WONDERFUL LOVE FOR ME.

I CONSIDER MYSELF TO BE AN UNIQUE CHRISTIAN POET IN THAT I DON'T PULL ANY PUNCHES. I KNOW I AM NOT WHERE I SHOULD BE IN JESUS CHRIST AND WILL PROBABLY NEVER GET THERE UNTIL I AM SAFE IN HIS BLESSED ARMS....BUT, AS I SAID, I DO TRY.  AND THIS IS MY FLAIR....MY POET'S 'TONE' ...IF YOU  WILL. WE DO  ALL FALL DOWN, SOME MORE OFTEN THAN OTHERS BUT, WE CAN GET BACK UP. JESUS IS THERE TO HELP US,  TO FORGIVE US  AND GO ON WITH US  AS WE 'JOURNEY' HOMEWARD.

I HAVE BEEN A MEMBER OF AUTHOR'S DEN FOR TWO YEARS AND EVERY MINUTE HAS BEEN A PURE JOY FOR ME. I HAVE MADE SOME GREAT FRIENDS AND BEEN EXPOSED TO, AND ENJOYED THE WORK OF  SOME OF THE MOST TALENTED AND CREATIVE GROUP OF POETS AND WRITERS THAT I HAVE EVER HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF COMING IN CONTACT WITH. MY DEN IS MY SECOND HOME...AND I LOVE ALL OF MY NEIGHBORS HERE. 

THERE IS A WIDE CHOICE OF GENRES ON THIS SITE AND I AM GLAD ABOUT THAT BECAUSE I ENJOY READING ALL TYPES OF POETRY, AS LONG AS IT DOESN'T GET TOO 'EXPLICIT'...SEXUALLY OR PROFANE.

I HOPE TO BE A VOICE OF ENCOURAGEMENT TO ALL THOSE WHO ARE LED TO READ 'HIS INSPIRATIONS' AND I PRAY THAT SOMETHING GOD INSPIRES ME TO PEN WILL BE A CONTINUOUS SOURCE OF ENCOURAGEMENT FOR OTHERS...NOT ONLY FOR TODAY BUT  FOR ALL THEIR TOMORROWS.

I THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TAKING THE TIME TO VISIT MY DEN AND I WISH YOU AN ABUNDANCE OF BLESSINGS, MUCH LOVE AND FAITH.
