Fire and Light is a collection of faith-based poetry about the sorrows, lessons, and choices that we face during this journey we call life. It is about surviving and even rising above these struggles. These poems will take you on a journey of suffering and healing, failure and forgiveness, brokenness and restoration. They are about our lives, our loves, and our choices. You may cry. You may smile. In the end, if they made you look more closely at God and your relationship to Him, they have fulfilled their purpose. These poems are born from the author's own life experiences. They are personal, heartfelt, and relatable. If you have lost a loved one, witnessed suffering, stumbled, or questioned your faith, you will be able to see yourself on some of the pages within this book. These poems are meant to invoke thought, encourage prayer, provide some insight, and hopefully, promote some healing to those in pain. Remember, you may find yourself in a dark tunnel or amid a raging storm, but you can survive, and you can thrive. But you can't do it alone. As you read, open your heart so you may see God's saving grace, His love, and His ability to show us the light that's at the end of every tunnel and to lead us to calm waters that lie just beyond the fearsome waves. All we have to do is trust and follow Him.
