Miriam Miles

A bit about yourself: I am a chronicler. I am obsessed with documenting what I hear, what I see, what I feel and what I dream. My voice recorder is never further than a few feet away. My handbag is always too heavy because I can't leave the house without pen and paper.

And then I write.

I love to dabble with paints, often ending up shoving my fingers into the gooey colours and slapping them onto the canvas with no idea where it will lead. I am impulsive and passionate. I am a great gardener... in my imagination and one day I am going to check off everything on my bucket list.

I've spent my life pursuing the presence of God and listening for the frequency of His heartbeat, desiring to navigate the paths of 'being' instead of 'doing' so that I may truly understand the Grace afforded me.

Spontaneous songs float up and out of my mouth, sometimes taking even me by surprise. My ministry is to release what I hear and what I see. And so I release.

I've recorded 2 cd's and published my first reflective journal of poetry, 'Pondering Love', revealing some of the love encounters I've had with the Lover of my soul.

Treasured possessions: my antique German iron frame piano. My wedding ring. The impromptu smiles from my 3 favourite men.

What makes you happy: the continual and abiding presence of God; the revelation that Grace looked upon me and chose to give all for me; the knowledge that who I am is worthy.
