My Encouragement Village

My goal, through as many avenues as possible, is to uplift, strengthen, motivate, and inspire as many people as I can on their life’s journey. Part of that goal has come from God showing me a village of those who are willing to share their journey and love for the Lord to accomplish the same goal. God made us all unique so the way one person needs encouragement may differ for another and having a variety of blogs/articles to meet those needs is what I have in mind to meet the needs of many.

She is His perfectly imperfect proof that broken things, battered things, and seemingly unusable things, can be revived and restored. The life God has breathed in her to revive her broken pieces is spoken through her poetry and four African American romance books with the hopes that the hearer will also LIVE. Her work is a testimony. Her gift is one she can’t take credit for, it is from the Lord, and her words are… HIS Desire, Her FIYAH!!!
