About Me:

Laura Beth Young is an inspirational poet, writer, singer, and motivational speaker. When an left her bed-ridden with spinal damage/chronic pain at the age of twenty- eight, she felt her life was over. Her dream of being a hands- on mother to her four sons, all under the age of eight, evaporated before her eyes. She drew strength from the Lord and persevered through despairing times, eventually adjusting and discovering creative ways to raise her sons, who have now grown into incredible, fine young men.

A new dream was birthed in Laura as she felt compelled to begin penning her emotions, ranging from desperation to an over abundance of happiness and peace. Often in her darkest hours, God display’s His compassion and mercy, pouring out words of consolation, understanding and joy, which Laura pens into poetry and song. Desiring to share this gift with others, you will find a rare, raw vulnerability that offers her readers comfort and a solid sense of hope.

Residing in Southern Maryland with her wonderful husband and four sons, she invites you to explore her plethora of works, including poetry, greeting cards, songs, children’s stories, true short stories and devotionals. It is her hope that your heart will be touched and that your spirits will be uplifted!

What I hope to gain from this network...

I hope to connect with like minded individuals who desire to learn, grow, and encourage one another in our journey with chronic illness.

Have you heard of Rest Ministries or HopeKeepers?

I have been an encourager for Rest for several years!

I have gone thru many, many web sites that quote this poem, and all of them list the author as "unknown". Generally, if you have made every effort to find an author of a written piece and cannot do so, you can quote the author as unknown. However, I think I will add a statement that if anyone knows of a copyright on that poem, they can share that information with me and I will either remove the poem from the website or obtain the copyright.
