In this episode I'm talking with my friend Anne Peterson, a gifted poet, author, and speaker. Anne learned through Tribe Writers we should write what we know. Anne knows grief. shares her story and recites her beautiful poetry for us. Hear the powerful words from the Lord has put on her heart to bring comfort and hope hearts that are hurting. 

God said to Moses in Exodus 4:12, "Now go; I will help you speak and will teach you what to say." Anne has experienced loss beyond words, yet her heavenly Father redeems it all and allows her to use her beautiful words to minister to others. Words He has given her to write. They have been a healing balm for her soul and have touched the hearts of others with His comfort and peace.
