ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Author Debra Longer used to envy people who knew what they wanted to be when they grew up and focused their lives on that goal. All she knew for sure about what she would be when she grew up, was that at the age of 14 she gave her life to the Lord, offering to “even become a minister.” She then found out that sometimes it’s a roundabout way to the promised land.

Debra says she has had a patchwork of interests, jobs and careers, touching many areas along the way toward her goal: business owner, teacher, dancer, and pastor, to name a few. “I have always loved patchwork,” she says. “It shows different designs and colors that that fit together to form a complete work. Life is like that with many of us. And I love seeing God continue to fit all the pieces together.”
