Quote

As far back as I can remember, my mother would have me down by the bed at night with her, praying. I can still hear her voice calling my name to God and telling him that she wanted me to follow him in whatever he called me to do.

I prayed every day of my life, and that was instilled in me as a kid, and as I've gotten older, that's just matured in me.

When I was young, I reached a point where I found myself unable to pray. I was devastated by it. I missed being able to say words in my head that I believed could be heard by a being, a consciousness outside me. That is when I turned to poetry.

Praying privately in churches, I began to discover that heaven was my true home and also that it was here and now, woven into this life.

In the first decade of my life, I came to know and love God, as I was raised in a Christian home and community.

My heart was broken when I realized my daughter had a problem. I pray every day for her.

I remember my mother's prayers and they have always followed me. They have clung to me all my life.

When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle. Then I realised that the Lord doesn't work that way so I stole one and asked Him to forgive me.
