Welcome   The Lord does not give us gifts and talents so that we may fail.   It is a honor to have you explore what the Lord has called me to do with my gifts and talents.  I have been writing poems about my faith for ten years now.  In June of 2008, the Lord provided a way for me to publish a collection of poems in my first book, Contending for the Faith. LIfe gives us many opportunites and reasons to reflect on various things.  It is during these times when we are shaped into how we will react to future events and circumstances.  If we react badly,  then we didn’t learn the lesson.  We must always remember that everything we go through has a purpose.  The common thread being that each one teaches us to put our faith and hope in nothing else but Jesus Christ.   © reflectionsofacontender.com 2010
