Dear Reader…
I sometimes struggle with letting my past keep me stuck, and my insides are turned inside out when I remember allowing another person to use my face as a punching bag. I would shake, cry, and shudder from head to foot back in high school, and I wanted to be able to fly away, to soar from the pain. I wanted some peace, and I was desperate for a change. I longed to escape the rage inflicted on me. So, if you’re hurting or trapped, I hope that you, too, escape the fists and find joy in the morning.
One thing I remember is to call to God, that He is my helper, at dusk, dawn, and noon. He hears and rescues, but I must move toward safety and strive to live in freedom. So, pile your troubles on God’s shoulders—he’ll carry your load and help you.
Put your trust in God. Reach for his hand and hold on. And run if you must. You matter. You belong to God. You are fearfully and wonderfully created in His image. It’s time for you to breathe, sing, smile, and take a new walk.
Never forget that God is with you, and take a moment to praise Him with all your heart. I know He pulled me from the brink of death with my feet at the cliff edge of doom in that relationship. And then, in my first marriage, at nineteen, I again became trapped inside the abuse. But thank God, I gained the freedom to live, and now I stroll in the sunlit fields of life. No one ever hit me in the face again, pushed me down a flight of stairs, or smashed my head into a window. Not again. Not ever. And my prayer is that you can live without the pain too. Get you a new life. One without bruises. Or abuse. Be the wonderful person God designed and live with purpose.
Pam didn’t know the Lord could use brokenness and turn it into a way to help others. Her books are designed to add strength to your life. To help you find your way. She hopes to remind you that you’re fearfully and wonderfully created in Christ.
Thankfully, God opened her eyes and heart to fight for freedom and to stand for truth, and He gave Pam beauty for ashes, the joy of a new day with peace. She credits the Lord with giving her a voice to encourage others who are broken.
As an author and speaker, she loves to laugh. To read. To write. To talk. Not necessarily in that order. But always in each day.
Pam writes mysteries, devotionals, ministry books, and children’s books. Each book she’s written gives way to hope, and peace, and reminds you to persevere. Her stories will take you on a road trip of the heart as she challenges you to make today count.
Pam has written an inspirational column for newspapers spanning 25 years and she’s volunteered for 11 years, teaching/holding a church service for ladies in drug/alcohol rehab. Before that, Pam served 24 years as a children’s church teacher, where her love for others grew with each lesson she’s taught. And Pam is involved in street ministry with the homeless when she’s not playing with her schnauzer, Shelby, or her grandson, Kade.
Her latest book is the cozy mystery, Summertime Sprinkler.
