As you read through these pages, and hear my heart, don't be surprised if you see yourself...

Alabaster Box is a collection of poetry inspired by the events of life. The things that are written in these pages, I believe everybody experiences in one way or another. The situations may not be exactly the same...but no matter who we are, where we live, or what we do...we "feel" the same things. We have been happy, we have been sad. We have laughed and cried. We have fallen in love...and sometimes out of it. We have made mistakes, we have accomplished goals. We have been blessed to experience life...
In the Bible, Mary anointed Jesus with the contents of her alabaster box. It was the very best that she had to offer. Out of love, honor, respect, and complete gratitude she poured it on Jesus. Similar to Mary, I take that which is special to me, and for the same reasons...I give it to God to be used in whatever way He sees fit.
