Almost everyone who has experienced the loss of a loved one has also experienced seemingly endless quiet momentsmoments when it seems you cannot see past today and moments when tomorrow, as you knew it, seems nonexistent. In these moments, all thoughts rush back into memorymemory so vivid it seems impossible to grasp that the person lost is truly gone from your life. Quiet Moments allows the reader to reflect on living and dying as two inevitable facts. It encourages the reader to believe and trust in Gods power to begin healing and restore wholeness.

It is with great excitement and gratitude that I share the messages, poems, and not-so-random thoughts given to me by the Holy Spirit and in which I have incorporated my photography. I have enjoyed capturing God's beauty through my lens since I was a child. I began my journey to learn how to be still and listen to God after a life-changing year that included multiple broken bones, a tragic car accident that took the life of my sister, multiple surgeries, physical therapy, and the loss of both parents only six days apart. But God spared my life and gave me a new perspective. I realized He is in control, and I needed to start paying attention. He began to show me images and give me messages through the Holy Spirit. I hope you enjoy these Spirit-led messages and poems as much as I enjoyed receiving them. It is my prayer for each person to find comfort, peace, and joy within these pages. The living waters of the Holy Spirit pour into us and overflows, so we can pour into the lives of others. May you find grace and love for yourself and others.

I will strengthen you, and help you, and uphold you with my right hand of justice. Isaiah 41: 10 Sights Of Nature The beauty of the country The echo through the hills, The different sounds of nature Wild flowers blooming in the fields. Running, catching butterflies Wading bare foot in a stream, The sun is shining through the trees Casting shadows from its beam. How beautiful the country How marvelous is our God, The magnificence of your creation For this we thank you God! I will meditate on the glorious splendor of your majesty, and on your wondrous works. Psalm 145:5
