This is the place where you expect to learn about the author. Well, Patrick and I have been married over twenty years. However, this book of poetry was never really about us. The true author of this book is our Savior Jesus Christ. Immanuel means God With Us. During the trials, our Savior is indeed with us. When we rejoice, He is with us. When we cry, He is with us. At every state of our lives, through our doubts and fears, pain and sorrow, celebration and joy, He is with us. He is our light in the dark. He is the voice calling us by name into safety. These psalms were inspired by our Savior who is always with us. Through these psalms, you will not be drawn to us but to Him. Our prayer is that your heart would find peace and joy as you read these psalms and enter into the presence of Immanuel.
