Lynn: I am a captive to fear, sickness, and sin; but I have been set free by the love of my precious savior, Jesus Christ! In college, I suffered from depression. My greatest friends were God and writing. The massive chasm between the got-it-together life I attempted to portray and the torrents of pain I was really living in was eating away at me. Writing was a way to focus my inner voice and allow it to speak. It was also a way to hear God. In 2oo3, an anointing word was spoken over me to "write and speak the word of God for a new generation to know His affection.” I was encouraged to become disciplined in writing again. In the summer of 2007 I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), with joint and organ involvement. One of the challenges I was given was to "write often." This is my attempt to be faithful to something I believe the Lord has given me - and asked of me. I have seen over time how writing has been a tool of healing in my life and I trust that it will continue to be. My hope is that as you read my random ramblings and prayers they will touch you in some way. It is my desire that I will grow in wisdom, truth, and vulnerability. Above all I desire to glorify God!
