How does one describe decades of settling for mediocrity? Having spent years not adhering to the sweet calling of the Holy Spirit, mediocrity is actually a mild adjective to describe much of my adult life. Basically, this grandmother of eleven, Holy Spirit filled today, circled the mountain countless times before finally realizing the joy & peace that comes from walking in Faith. Praise God my spiritual growth eventually became paramount thereby leading me to my own purpose in life. This journey, shared with family, friends & most of all Our God, has been emotionally & spiritually rewarding to me. But, primarily it's provided me a platform to fulfill one of my highest callings. Rather than live out my years in futility, I've been given the opportunity to share the difference in existing without direction and walking in the Light of the Most High and how His grace pours forth with blessings. Having spent so much of my life dodging bullets, I pray that sharing my account of dredging the valleys might be something others can identify with. Not for discouragement, quite the contrary, I hope each of the readers will explore the other side, where The Master reached out to rescue me. That's where I invite others to linger. Quite simply, I traveled from childhood to saved, to faithless and finally reached faithful. That's the place where Faith met Grace. "
