Yes, he is. Sometimes life seems like too much to bear. Fear and anxiety at times surround us, but when you WALK by FAITH and ask the Lord to guide keep in mind he will lead you through the struggle. When my life seems difficult and things seem to be ‘dim’ I remember that everything happens for a reason. From dark comes light.✨ He enlightens us. We gain a new perspective. Find a new found hope. Make a few adjustments. We come out on the other side.

Zina, here’s a good laugh for you and your readers, One day I said this to Karen about my blog. “Darling, people are reading my backlist. That’s old stuff! Why are they doing that?” Karen said, “Because it’s new to them.”:)

Zina, I came across your blog as I was searching for writing residencies and graduate writing programs. It was an added bonus to come across your writing! Often, God shows us the most important thing while searching for something completely different. It’s one of the ways He gets my attention. He says to me, “Kevin, this is what I want you to focus on.”
Your story of dealing with a spinal injury speaks to my heart. I have a rare auto-immune condition called mastocytosis. It’s a mast (immune and systemic) cell disease. We all need mast cells to survive. They are in our tissues and organs. I have way too many of them. I can relate to having a breathing tube down your throat. I have been intubated ten times because of anaphylactic attacks caused by mastocytosis.
Your writing encourages me that God has a plan for my life. He is using mastocytosis to deepen my writing.
I admit that when our Father called me to start a blog called me over eight years ago to start a blog entitled Dreaming Together for a Better World, I said to my wife, Karen, “I don’t think many people will want to read it.” I was so wrong about that. People all around the world are reading it. I am so deeply moved when a reader tells me how what I have written brought them through a trial, inspired, challenged, encouraged, or helped them laugh.
I would like to share my testimony written several years ago to encourage you and your readers if that’s okay.

Keep uplifting others through your writing. People need to hear how God will be there for them through the darkest of times.
God bless you richly!
Kevin
