Linda's home is an orphanage, its been since she was three. She's held onto dreams of who she wanted to be, hopes she only talked about to one person; but what if that all changes, that life ends right when you have you're ideas drawn up?

Will you lay down your heart, your life, your family, to follow Him wherever He will lead you?

Poems for your heart and spirituality. You are NEVER alone.
