In the world of literary lingo, I am called the
author of the books in the "Heavenly Windows" series. But in reality, the
Holy Spirit is the author, both guide and teacher, and I am just the listener.
Likewise, the photography in these books is captured only from the boundless beauty
displayed in all His creation.
Raised in non-denominational churches on military bases, I
was born again by the grace of God in 1995. Tears streaming down my face, I heard
that call of God that we refer to as an "altar call". After
surrendering myself to Jesus, the Lord filled me with a burning need for the Word and
"the Word made flesh". In Spirit-guided Bible study, I eagerly sought His
wisdom. Already baptized in water, my studies of God's Word led me to baptism by the
Fire of God in the Holy Spirit, experiencing worship "in Spirit and in
truth".
God then conceived in me the "Heavenly
Windows"characteristic of a 3-dimensional item inside the book cover. Through
the Holy Spirit, He directed me to scriptures and sent streams of messages during the
night to be written down just as He gave them to me. The work itself has been mere
footwork and details. I give Him the glory and the praise!
With an increased desire to gain knowledge from His word and
His church, I attended seminary with the Evangelical Anglican Church in America under the
Order of El Nino Divino of the Saints Perpetua and Felicity Catholic Church.
In the sacraments of the liturgical community, the presence of the Holy Spirit
makes me glad to go unto the House of the Lord.
After sponsoring chapters of "Fellowship of Christian
Students" for adolescent youngsters in several public schools, God has blessed me to
be a lay minister to the elderly in retirement homes, assisted living facilities and
nursing homes. His grace continues to astound me daily.
