Hello and welcome! So glad you dropped by my website. Pour yourself a cup of coffee and make yourself at home while we visit.
There are many things in this world that bring me joy – family, friends, reading a good book, and most of all, spending time with my Lord. Nobody can travel through this life without experiencing mountaintops and valleys, and I can certainly claim my share of both. In the past few years, God has taken me down paths I never dreamed I would tread, and every experience has shaped me to be the person I am. I’ve had the privilege of seeing God use many life experiences to minister to hurting people.
My journey as a writer has taken me on some surprising twists and turns. Crafting stories has been my delight since I was very young, and writing Christian fiction is my first love. But it was walking through the valley on a cancer journey with our son that I began recording the precious whispers of my loving heavenly Father as He carried us through the most difficult days. At first, those jottings were purely therapeutic. It wasn’t until after God chose to take our son home to heaven that I considered putting all those thoughts, ponderings, tears, blessings, and mercydrops into a manuscript to share with other cancer patients and caregivers. It is the desire of my heart to share what God did for us, in us, and through us during that time.
The writing life can be a solitary one, but God has blessed me with some wonderful critique partners and the world’s greatest agent. Through the advice, instruction, and encouragement of these incredible ladies, God orchestrated some amazing things, not the least of which was my first publishing contract. I am finding this new level of the writing journey to be exhilarating and scary at the same time. Who knows what else the Lord has in store for me! Come along for the ride and we’ll discover His blessings together.
Because of His grace,
~Connie~
