Walk through life's desert places with me, and, together, we can learn how to trust more in God's plan, to empty our arms so that we may receive what our Loving Father has for us. From being born and meeting her husband in northern Michigan, Dawn and her family moved a lot, never really settling in one place for more than a few years.

Dealing with considerable hardship with her family, she was stretched many times to her breaking point. Through this, she was able to learn many lessons, allowing her to grow in her faith.

Dawn began writing poetry at an early age. Then it was what she describes as "very dark.

" After moving from northern Michigan to southern Oregon in the early 2000s, she started attending a wonderful local church. It was there she and her husband made new friends and began learning solid biblical teaching.

That is when her writing went through a dramatic change, becoming more uplifting and God-centered. This eventually led to writing her first book.

She looks forward to continuing this journey God has set her on and seeing what new adventures lie ahead. .
