FROM A PRIVATE JOURNAL - TO A PUBLIC BOOK

When I became a Christian 8 years ago at the age of 52, I was encouraged to journal every morning.  I thought this was a bit wierd because I was supposed to be talking to God and I couldn't imagine what I could possibly ask Him and didnt know how I would know if He had  actually answered
However I started to notice that as I got into His presence the answers came and I was surprised to find that when I got the answers, it wasn't actually me that came up with them, although it was definitely me who was writing them.
The replies, suggestions and responses came as rhyming poetry,  and these poems became a regular occurrence. They were words from God that would speak about what was going on in my life, and answered my questions and encourage me in my day.  They also spoke of my deepest feeling's, my hurts, my disappointments as well as this overwhelming love for God that I hadn't acknowledged before.
These words have an effect on anyone who read them too, and I would pass them to friends when I knew the word was for them.
I had no idea that God sometimes talks to us in these amazing ways and I’m always excited when others get such pleasure from them.
My book of poems is called Heaven Is All About Him. I believe that one of these poems is specifically for you and I give a poem to everyone who buys the book.
I am known as Jan to most people but I write under my Christian names Janet Elizabeth.
