Through My Faith Came His Words ... so I picked up a pencil and started to write... is a series of single-word titled poems, written as a result of inspiration I received form our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Some of the topics I felt inspiration to write about are Trust, Worry, Greed, Hope, Freedom, Mercy, Patience and Sharing, just to name a few. Each of the poems topic actions and emotions, which make up many of the experiences we encounter on a daily basis. I wrote my poems over a period of two and a half years, as the Lord brought each particular subject to my attention. Living in a fallen world, I suspect God felt I needed work or at least a better knowledge in these areas. As a result of writing on each topic, I gained a clearer sense of understanding in each area, once the poem was completed. Perhaps you will gain much of that same inspiration, once you've read them. Originally from Detroit, Michigan, I spent most of my professional career in corporate sales and management. Always with an interest in music, both playing various instruments and singing, I was finally drawn to song writing. Ultimately my appreciations for the written word led me to poetry. Writing inspirational poetry has truly brought me closer to the Lord than I ever have been. My hope is you will share in the inspiration to seek His guiding hand as you continue on your life journey.
