"Is your heart crying out? Are you, or someone you know, going through troubles or deep struggles? Is encouragement needed? Is comfort not found? Then this is what this book will offer." Cynthia was born in Chicago, and raised on a dairy farm in northern Wisconsin. She graduated from nursing school in Madison, and is a surgical nurse who works in the Operating Room. She has a genuine heart of compassion for people. She is the mother of two, a son, Christopher and a daughter, Patricia. She also has two wonderful grandsons, Justin and Ryan. She has gone through many a trial in her life, one of them being, "dumped in the desert." She totally trusts the Lord to carry her on through. Cynthia has been to Israel several times, where she has felt the pulsating heartbeat of the Father for His people and the land. On one of her trips she was able to go into Jordan and visit some of the sights there. These poems were inspired by a broken heart and a desire to encourage others who are hurting. Her greatest joy is pouring gifts into others through the creative ability that the Lord has given her. She now resides in the beautiful desert of Tucson, Arizona, but her heart yearns for Beulah land.
