And I found both encouragement and strength in it; so thank you.

Thank you. And I thank God for what you have written. It gave me chills, I was moved by it and I hope I can learn from it. I desire to become more than the rut that I have fallen into. And I need God to make me into a temple that he would be willing to enter and to reside in. Thank you so much Kate.

Only after I read that Arron’s heart clenched from killing the lion did I get struck with the realization that Justin was the lion. My mind was drawn back to the part where Justin hoped that the counselor would appreciate his sacrifice. That hurt. A lot. I thought he was feeling guilty for calling the lion and the…[Read more]

I don’t even know what to say!

So beautiful! So true! And something I need to remember. Very encouraging.

May God Bless you soo much for reaching and touching my heart with this simple and yet precious truth!

I was saddened when the man lost his child and then his wife. In a book I’m writing a similar situation occurred; and so when I read your poem I was struck with the resemblance between the two.

I hope that didn’t come off in a bad way. I really enjoyed your poem.

And this part too actually: “And I’m ready to give up My strings are Breaking, breaking, breaking Oh my soul”. Very well wri…[Read more]

I enjoyed your poem a lot. Rain is such a blessing especially when it’s dry and your garden doesn’t want to grow. No moisture=no food=very very bad! 🙂 Thank God for rain!

It was an amazing story full of emotion and relationships that were beautifully balanced and it is in my opinion a masterpiece. That being said…WHAT HAPPENED!?! I loved it but the suspense! Did Jamie die? Did she live? Ahhhh!!! 😉

I wrote a story in which on of my main characters died and so when I just read your post I tried to see if my character’s death did what it should. I think that it did, but we’ll see when it gets published. (hope my story death will be moving and won’t cause riots) 🙂
