About Maria…

Every calling of my heart branches from being loved by God and learning to love Him back.  As a wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, and friend.  As a writer, musician, speaker, lover of God’s Word.  As a fearful being transformed to fear God.  As a grafted branch to the perfect tree of life that God makes available in and through Jesus’ love.  Forgiven and free, my heart’s desire is to share from the generous Spirit that God wraps around me every day, the life sustaining sap of His steadfast love and faithfulness.  Come, join me in the branches of my life experiences; we will prayerfully experience God’s far-reaching balm and strengthening power to help us in times of need, to give encouragement in seasons of joy, to offer solace in sorrowful situations.  Drawing near to the heart of God, my prayer is that God Branches will be a safe haven for souls, a resting place for the weary, and a source of encouragement to all.
