About Elayne

I have taken the long road to work out my faith and to let my light shine in the darkness.

Living Brightly

Chistian Author/Speaker

I love sharing Truth from the word of God to enable healing and growth. My life has been filled with lessons from so many believers and churches but on a large scale there is animosity and division between denominations and the body of Christ. Learning to appreciate all the blessings my diverse experiences offered conflicted with what I see and hear in Christian circles. Determined to let my light shine regardless of who I am with inspired me to help others begin Living Brightly through their God given talents, gifts, and uniqueness as well.

  1. Pray believing God is listening
  2. Each person is individually responsible for his/her relationship with God.

It would be nice to say life continued happily ever after. Reality, life is hard. People can be cruel and the church can be a painful place. It brakes my heart over how many people have been wounded and rejected the church as a result. My goal is to draw people back to community with other Christians by encouraging you to live brightly in the darkness, let your light shine through;
