Poetry writing experience
I wrote my first poem in grade school in a card for my dad. I still have it. I wrote occasionally over the years and as a Christian adult I got down on my knees one day and asked God for the gift of poetry. My first Christian poem came instantly and I went and wrote it down. I have been writing ever since. My mom also had the gift of poetry and in her honor I use my middle name's initial T. for Theresa. I am named after her.

State or country in which the poet resides
Pennsylvania

Testimony of saving faith for Christians only
Very hard times brought me to a place in my life where I knew I needed God. I accepted Jesus as my personal savior in the privacy of my living room after reading Catherine Marshall's books.

I love Him, because He loves me

Showing selfless He cares

God saved my soul gave eyes to see

The fruit salvation shares

 

I love God’s Son with heart and soul

In spirit through and through

For guiding me towards the goal

No flesh and bone can view

 

Because of Jesus’ sinless blood

Because I have believed

I’ve learned to walk The Way I should

In strength of grace received

 

Because He heard my sinful cry

Because His mercy’s real

Because He chose for me to die

And place on me His Seal

 

He sees my thoughts my inner being

The road once sought and trod

But quickly turning when seeing

Jesus is Lord & God

 

I love Him for The Truth revealed

The facts of life made known

Allowing me my soul to yield

The Lamb on Heaven’s throne

 

Forgiven, loved, by grace approved

Each day’s an awesome thrill

How can my soul now not be moved?

How can my tongue be still?

 

I pray to live to come alive

My former life to flee

To walk to grow to always thrive

In He who set me free.....
