Their creativity flows from their passion for a purpose or a person they love.
Some create because they want to. Others create because they must. Either way, artists stir our imagination.
The world is a more beautiful place because of them.

7. Sarah E. Ball – Fearless In The Fire
Fourteen years ago, Sarah Ball’s life was a disaster. She was a single mom of two small children, living in poverty, abandoned, and afraid. However, this was the moment in her life that she began trusting God for her basic needs and He began turning her life around. She got married, had three more children and became an author.
You’ll enjoy Sarah’s writing. She’s candid with a touch of humor about being a mom, facing sexual abuse, depression and experiencing the grace of God. Sarah will be speaking at “WINGS” – a day for women at North Pointe on Saturday March 4, 2017.
