Interviewed by: Lauretta Pierce
A. A woman full of joy with a story to tell (smile). I was born in Waco, TX and now reside in Dallas, TX where I am a member of The Potter’s House. I volunteer with my church and with Vitas Hospice services and I have one daughter who steps for the Step By Step team at our church as well. I minister at nursing homes and other conferences.
A. Not what but Who is the question. God told me to write the book and share my testimony with his children. God gave me the outline and what to put in the book. I didn’t want to expose my life but God said and that was all I needed to know. So, I did it and all glory belongs to God.
A. My faith has comforted me through the long nights. My faith in God has given me peace in my mind, soul and spirit. My faith has given me hope in God.
A. Yes and some in their homes. Where are you in your faith now after writing “What
Now?” Another level or should I say another mountain in life. See, life is a series of mountains and we are not on the mountain tops at the same times and on the same mountain. My next book deals with the mountain I’m climbing now of singleness in your heart but whole. My trust in God has escalated.
A. My Publisher (Shane Wall) and I were brainstorming about the title. After bringing up many titles, I said “What Now?” I paused and I said “that’s it” He agreed that he liked it as well.
A. Yes, my writing and other speaking engagements.
A. Quiet places and sometimes soft gospel music.
A. Hope, encouragement and strength to make it through the storms of life. The book shows faith, growth, strength and compassion for God to show up and show out! I want people to know that they are not alone even when life hand them a hard blow. The blow didn’t come without God’s approval. God is always in control.
