What is the meaning of life?
Faith, Truth, and the Pursuit of Life:
Poems of Hope and Love
is a poetry collection which attempts
to answer this universal question with an answer which takes many of
us a lifetime to find, and even then, it is found by faith. We spend countless
days of our brief existence on earth in search for an answer to this mysterious question; what is the meaning of life, the
meaning of my life?





The love we
experience in our relationships give life meaning; we love one another with patience and sacrifice. Life is mysterious, but
with Jesus, it makes sense. Without Him, life is selfish.
Relationships crumble without the love of God in our hearts. To find the
truth of love, we must have faith in something greater. So we seek.





Often we find the answer to
the meaning of life in the earth and the stars, or in ancient words and rituals from the people who lived
before us, or inside of every human heart. Wherever we find the clues, they come together to form an answer, the answer which leads to God.





The poems I share seek to answer
the mysteries of life, and to consider the true way to live our relationships
with others and with our Creator. I have pursued life, the hope for life
eternal, and I have found the answer in the truth of Jesus. I hope my poems
will inspire and motivate you to pursue the truth of life, and may God bless your
journey with faith, hope, and love.

Author

Kristin A. Ball

Kristin Ball lives with her husband of twenty years in the beautiful countryside of Mid-Michigan. She is a mother and step-mother of three adult children, all of whom have brought her deep joy and lifelong blessing.   She is a devoted Catholic Christian and finds peace and grace in the Sacraments of the Church. She passionately writes, especially poetry and song lyrics, in hopes of sharing with everyone the love and mercy of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.   Mrs. Ball is a middle school teacher at a Catholic school in a small rural town. She is blessed to teach religion and social studies in a school of faith. Teaching is work she considers a calling from God, which has inspired her to persevere in her 20 year teaching career, and to tirelessly work to meet the high expectations of being a quality teacher in the 21st century.   She earned a Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education from Michigan State University, and maintains a Professional Teaching Certificate through the State of Michigan. She grew in knowledge of poetry and literature with a minor in Language Arts, and even more so as a determined practitioner of composing verse and rhyme. Kristin Ball believes each day is a new opportunity to grow in mind, heart and body, and commits daily to trust in the power of the Spirit to transform her into the person she is meant to be. In everything she does, seeking the Will of God is the central part of her life as a wife, mother, teacher, and student.
