Echoes of Grace is a compilation of verses from the heart of the author. Kay was diagnosed with Systemic Lupus when she was sixteen. Having numerous allergic reactions to various pain medications, she turned to faith and prayer. These are the words of comfort, anguish, and sometimes joy that she heard in her heart during some of her most trying times. She prays that as you read and reflect on these poems, they may bring you into a greater relationship with God.
Lupus is an auto immune, connective tissue disease, to which there is no cure. Itrenders the immune system incapable of differentiating between good and bad pathogens. It causes the immune system to attack the hosts body, causing inflammation and breakdown of tissues, eventually causing multiple organ failure and death. Finding herself in this situation, Kays choice was to either seek Gods face or turn away. Being constantly reminded of Gods sovereignty through the many mercies and grace that she had received during the illness, she chose to have a close relationship with God, abiding in him daily. She finds comfort, and relief in knowing that God has providence over her life, and nothing touches her without first going through Him. She prays that as you read these poems you may be encouraged to seek an abiding relationship with the Lord.
