He's Alive! 🙌✝

MARIA'S MUSINGS

I trust you had a wonderful Easter! This time of year is a great reminder of God's sacrifice for us, how He sent His only Son to die on the cross because He cares deeply for each and every one of us.

"He is not here; he has risen, just as he said" (Matthew 28-5-6).

These are the type of stories I write. They are a reminder that God has our best interests at heart, and He will never leave nor forsake us.

"I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die" (John 11:25-26).

The following is the book trailer I created for Amy's Story, and it includes the song I wrote called "I'm Enough" in the background. I play it often as it helps me with my struggles.

Contact me directly to become fishers of mankind via my author email, authormariathenriksen@gmail.com to apply. We'll be launching again this year.
