A sneak peak at some of my book that I'm working on


"I am uncertain if my heart can truly utter the words necessary to explain to you the day I saw true love in the eyes of the man I now call my beloved, my darling, my dear husband.  I had known him for a few years, even performed in a skit with him; us being the two main characters.  But never had I seen in those bright intriguing eyes, adoration, love and longing.  I was never captivated by that smile that now seems to light up an entire building, not just a room.

                I was crying myself to sleep in my sister’s arms, when my mobile phone vibrated.  Startled, I squinted through the tears to read the words from...Mark Passmore?    “I don’t know what happened, but I wanted you to know I am praying for you.”  I was somewhat surprised. We hardly ever talked because  Mark never hung around my crowd in school. In the majority of the girl’s eyes, he was the Godliest young man in our school.  I went to sleep peacefully after that, thanking the Lord for His grace to follow His will, no matter how hard; and thanking Him as well for Mark Passmore’s prayers..."
