This is Jane. She is also known as “Nightbirde,” her stage name. She recently got a golden buzzer by Simon Cowell for her performance on America’s Got Talent and her song was # 1 on US iTunes song sales chart the next day.
It’s not just her singing that’s extraordinary – it’s her story and her character. She has been battling terminal cancer for the past two years. But she remains grateful and hopeful. She sees her pain but she also chooses to see the mercy- this is an excerpt from her blog:

I think I understand a little of why the Israelites complained so much during their sojourn in the wilderness between Egypt and Canaan; the scenery left much to be desired and their days and weeks blended into monotony. Even the miracles of walking through the red sea, being led by a pillar of fire by night and a pillar of cloud by day, and receiving bread from heaven paled in wonder as they trudged day after day through the dust.

What a day – rain, hail, wind…
I hope you were all warm and cosy inside.
Rainy days remind me of hot chocolate, fireplaces and poetry.
Here’s a poet/artist I found recently thanks to my friend Jaci – Lori Hetteen (@lorihetteen). You can follow her in Facebook/Instagram. Here’s a selection of a few of my favourites:
